Interview with him in Berlin newspaper "Der Tagesspiegel" (in german): http://www.tagesspiegel.de/weltspiegel/sonntag/charles-aznavour-ich-rede-hier-von-liebe-von-tiefer-liebe/9905002.html He's just about to give his concert here at his 90th birthday, also talks about "how many children he really has and why he gets into every gay bar.

And I though that WInona Ryder might also be on the list because of a possible overdose.

Ryder, was that supposed to be Winona Ryder?
