No one will take you seriously once you are known as the pretty woman." "I think it is a privilege [to be working in show business.] Not everybody can do what they want to do and still eat. I'm very lucky. And it's getting better and better." "The most important lesson I've learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did." |
