I've always been mad about cats....

English people don't have very good diction. In France you have to pronounce very particularly and clearly, and learning French at an early age helped me enormously.

People think that if you look fairly reasonable, you can't possibly act, and as I only care about acting, I think beauty can be a great handicap.

My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.

I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed.

Teach your children how to behave with animals. Adopt a pet. Don't go buy one. Please. That's a sin. Let's get these puppy mills out of business.

Cats don't like change without their consent.

I really liked the snake that breaks out of the cage in the beginning of the movie. I saw it in real life, and it was really cool. Really big and fat. The owls are cool as well, but you can't really pet them.
