“There are a lot of actors out there who've made one or two films and who never work again.”

“Practical gifts are another great way to be thoughtful, and they work for anything from birthdays to dinner-party gifts.”

“When you start out, you have to make compromises, which include doing films of lower quality.”

“A tea set is good for a newborn girl. It is a gift that instantly makes the room a girl's room.”

“Modeling teaches you to be completely conscious of the camera. Acting is being totally unconscious of it.”

“You'd be surprised how inspired you'll be when you go into a different store than the one you normally go to for gifts.”

“People follow proven formulas in any business.”

“Too many people are buying gifts for themselves when they pick out a gift for a friend.”
