Quotes

  • I am being wasted here in Hollywood. I would like to work more, & do better things. But if not, I take care of my son, my dogs, my husband, & I go ice skating to work off my frustrations. I am frustrated in my career - but in nothing else.
  • I never ever wore one (a bikini) until I came to the United States. Most French girls really wear one-piece bathing suits.
