Trivia and Quotes

Quotes

My cinematographic experience did not leave me any souvenirs, because I was only in very bad films that no one saw! It was better they didn`t! In Europe, it is rare for women singers to be in movies. And then, may be that deep within me I didn`t really wished to be in movies, for it is my belief that if I really wanted to, I`d be in the movies. I firmly believe that everybody is able to realise what their wishes, provided that they really want to.
