Eileen Ford wanted me to fix my nose and my teeth. I said, Sure, great, but I really had no intention to.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me.
Being a rather second-rate actress, I finally thought, 'I'd rather be a designer.' I knew I could make things look good.
I think she said I should seek help. Something like that, but it was in much cruder terms. And that I had a fascination with things coming out of people's mouths.
As a little girl, I got to meet Audrey Hepburn, who took my face in her hands and suddenly make me want to be an actress.
When I was younger, I used to look at movie stars with pencil-thin noses and think about a nose job. I've got a grown-up baby nose; it's not chiseled and structured. Then I saw how beautiful Audrey Tatou was in 'Amelie' and thought, 'She's got a nose like mine, and if she can have a baby nose, so can I.'
I had my nose done when I was 16 years old, and I'll be honest: it did change my life.
When I was told that I was being offered a role in 'Miss Julie,' I already knew I wanted to do it.
That something that I fought so hard for throughout the beginning of my career is I didn't want to pancake my skin a lighter color to fit into the... ballet. I wanted to be myself. I didn't want to have to wear makeup that made my nose look thinner.
I thought that I'd never be able to work in films or TV. Another girl would be cutting her nose to be an actress. I was always very sure about myself.
I told her I wanted a plastic surgeon to sew me up, and I wanted her to freeze my ovaries, so I could harvest the eggs and have a biological child through a surrogate.
