Leonor Varela Quotes |
| |
In this business, if you don't have the capacity to step back and have some sort of relativity about things, you're screwed.
| I don't need jewels and cars. It's about the delicacy of the way I'm handled.
| I'm not good with limitations. I tend to like to find my own. It hurts sometimes, but it's good. I'm little extreme in that sense-the middle ground is not my forte.
| I don't believe in nudity for nudity's sake, but it's really beautiful when it's done well, when it's within a story. I'm very comfortable with my body. I grew up mostly in France, where nudity is not taboo. It's not this hypocritical thing where we go, "No!" and then it's "Oh, yes!" When we strip away the clothes, the jewelry, that's who we really are. I walk around naked in my house.
