My family is basically Gypsies - for real.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't really have any people in my life who aren't gypsies.
I am so romantic about Gypsies. They're not allowed to do anything until they get married. So they all get married really young, at sixteen.
Every June, Gypsies come in caravans from all over Europe to honor Django Reinhardt at a festival in Samois-sur-Seine. When I was little, I started hanging out with them. They fascinated me - they really, literally, live in the moment. They take every day as if it's their last.
So finally, I can feel a sort of pride in all my family - Mum, Lynn, Corin, Tasha, my cousin Gemma - because, I think how wonderful that this troop of gypsies can carry on telling stories.
All my family back to the 1700s were water Gypsies. My brothers and me, we were the first ones to be born on dry land. All the rest of them were born on barges in the canals.
I've always been a bit of a gypsy.
I'm out here to represent the gingers, the gypsies, and the outcasts. Because I am all of the above, and I'm all about having a great time.
My family is a Jewish Iranian family, but I was born in Turkey and raised in Italy. So it's a very mixed background.
I come from a pretty strange family.
There are a lot of us little gypsies out there that need to go and find another place you know. A safer, healthier or just a different venue in order to develop and find ourselves. I am so lucky to live the life that I do.
