Quotes by Maud Adams
Modeling is a great beginning, but it's also a kind of trap if you have any ambition or a mind that needs to be stimulated.
I feel I've made the transition from model to actress, but I'm not that secure about it. Lauren Hutton, Jennifer O'Neill - we all know that a few films don't mean all that much.
I think most models, when they start out, are insecure. And you become the focus of a lot of people's attention, so outside validation becomes too important.
I thought I was an odd person, and since my hometown had only about 70,000 people in it, I knew I was going to have to leave there and go out and find other odd people.
You may shelve your Shakespearian plans for the present. I am going to play Peter Pan.
When I was about 15... I made my first attempt as a leading lady, and was, of course, a complete failure.
