Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Frances (on the breakup with Clint Eastwood): I tried to be understanding. I try to be forgiving. I know some women can overlook their partner's occasional infidelities. But that sort of behaviour just doesn't wash with me. For me, the sanctity of the bedroom is of the most fundamental importance.

- Frances: I was trained, just because of the way I grew up, to be the new kid on the block, always to learn how to fit in, learn how to be a chameleon and to be able to adapt quickly to my surroundings.
