Iben Hjejle Quotes

He just phoned me, and asked if I wanted to make a trip to Paris and get in some nice clothes. Its just a bit-part, in which I must come in through the door in a tight purple dress, like a real snake kind of lady and frustrate the two main characters idea. And I was really surprised to discover that the two were main characters were Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates . But it was incredibly fun to do. [About her role in Chéri (2009) .]
