"I much prefer Clint Eastwood to George Clooney.  I don't like cute, like Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise." said Isabelle over a starter of Scallops with beetroot risotto and a pesto sauce.

"Her nose is too small and her mouth. She's cute and she knows it."

"Isabelle says she's too cute and her mouth's too small..."
