Edward Gibbon

History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.

Of the various forms of government which have prevailed in the world, an hereditary monarchy seems to present the fairest scope for ridicule.

My English text is chaste, and all licentious passages are left in the decent obscurity of a learned language.

My style is Edie Sedgwick meets Grace Jones, or Audrey Hepburn meets Salt 'n' Pepa. Strong and feisty but still classic.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.
