"honestly never thought about fame in all the years I wanted to be an actress. I just wanted to go in front of a camera and that would be my job. I don't look that good without all the airbrushing, believe me. Some days my hair looks horrible, nothing fits right and, like every woman, I think 'I'm so ugly'. I certainly don't look at myself and think, 'Phwoar'
and I imagine most guys who meet me are disappointed." |
