"As an artist I am an athlete and trained as such.
You have to be strong enough to concentrate on doing what you want, and that requires physical strength, "Minnelli said a visibly excited about the distinction has been awarded the French Government. Indeed, the interpreter of the musical film "New York, New York" (1977) with Robert De Niro, said that France is his "second home".
"There is a part of me that is only satisfied when I am in France (... ), Paris is my country, "he added, while recalling his shows with the exponent of the French chanson Charles Aznavour. Minnelli, that shares voice on the album Aznavour duo, said to be "lucky" with songs written for her "because so many people so wonderful." "To think that if they had been written for me not exist, is unheard of!" He said.
