"She recently contracted Lyme disease. “I got it from one of these ticks in upstate New York. You know with these ticks from deer it’s like something that has been created by the CIA. It’s a conspiracy, because 10 years ago they didn’t have any diseases and now one tick can have four diseases.” ‘I got Lyme disease from one of these ticks in upstate New York. You know with these ticks from deer, it’s like something that has been created by the CIA’ She seems aware that there is an absurdity in blaming her illness on the CIA – a throwback to the Eastern bloc – but when it makes for good dramatic storytelling, why not? “I hate it,” she adds. “I’m usually so energetic and for me this is a disaster. It makes me sleep.” She has now started a fitness regime to keep active. “I choose a beautiful trainer. When he rings the bell at 6am, I want to kill him. I open the door and I look so shit and then I see he looks so good, and I think, yeah I have to do it. “I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t take drugs because I think a healthy body is important. My grandmother lived till 103 and so I want to make 103, at least, as well.”
