Please don't try and dramatize my relationship with Woody Allen. He was never any kind of father figure to me.
Soon-Yi Previn
I have a terrific relationship with Woody and realize it's full of dramatic overtones, but it's really quite simple. It revolves around conversations, film talk, sports talk, books, and art.
Woody says I can make jokes, but I don't get them - I'm always looking deeper for the meanings.
I was never interested in writing a 'Mommie Dearest,' getting even with Mia - none of that.
I was always mature for my age.
I fought for my survival since infancy.
When I first got friendly with Woody, he and Mia were finished with their romance and were just friends. I think Mia would have been just as angry if he had taken up with another actress or his secretary.
I don't think Mia should go on adopting children, and I think that all her adoptions should have been a warning signal to Woody when he met her.
To think that Woody was in any way a father or stepfather to me is laughable.
My parents are Andre Previn and Mia, but obviously, they're not even my real parents.
I came to America when I was 7.
There is no question I owe Mia a great deal for adopting me. For that gesture, I still love her.
