I have had a lifelong phobia of snakes.

When for so long you can't get a job for reasons that seem specious, you you finally do have it, you are constantly afraid of losing it.

Being a novelty had its advantages.

The thing about Paris, it's a great city for wandering around and buying shoes and nursing a cafe au lait for hours on end and pretending you're Baudelaire. But it's not a city where you can work.

I believe in glamour. I am in favor of a little vanity. I don't rely on just my genes.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
