"I have a stage shaved into the back of my head. I like to pretend people are watching me and sometimes they are. The sun in Rome is hotter than the sun in London, the closer you are to the sun the more intense the heat. I used a black umbrella to keep me in the shade, the umbrella was broken and people found it queer. I watched my shadow, making sure my profile was that of the umbrella. This way I knew I was in the shade. I was very meticulous over my shadow, this caused a great scene."
