Soundbite (London)

I know an actor in France. I'm sure you don't know him.
His name is Jean-Michel?
He's gay!
He lives in Paris! I'm sure you don't know him.
Jean-Michel?
I don't know his last name.

Yeah - there are a lot of Jean-Michel's in France....I don't know the one you mean.

Soundbite

It's very difficult to find a woman who has a great ass, great breasts and good skin. You can have one, maybe two of those, but rarely all three.

French photographer, talking about his ad campaign for a lingerie brand.

He himself had terrible skin, hardly any hair at all and an ugly mug. He was at a photography trade show, presenting a slideshow of his lingerie campaign that had been pulled from the streets of Paris for being too daring, but he was explaining the artyness of the shots... to an all male audience, who I suspect didn't give a wet slap about arty...they were more into booty.
