Quotes |
I take my hat off
to actresses, particularly the young ones, because
the emphasis is on trying to find perfection.
But I think it's the imperfections in people that
make them perfect. I don't find perfect faces
very interesting. |
|
Ideal man |
Says
that her ideal man is a mixture of Orlando Bloom
and Johnny Depp. |
