Carrie-Anne Moss Quotes

You watch yourself age and it's hard to feel like a sex symbol.

The good thing about not being drop-dead gorgeous is that as time passes, I don't have much to worry about. I have friends who are actors and every day they look in the mirror with trepidation.

A beautiful woman should break her mirror early.

I certainly used to wish that I was skinny, lighter-skinned, with long, pretty hair. But only because I used to get made fun of for being the absolute opposite.
