Quotable Quotes:
"I'll tell you something, not long after Pretty Woman came out, suddenly everyone who ever passed through Smyrna's city limits went to high school with me and was my best friend. I was suddenly reading accounts of my would-be life, based on people I had barely known in school. I find it more amusing than anything else ... every day of my life is just the greatest revenge, isn't it?" --Julia Roberts to The London Times (01/03/99) - Actor/Actress/Director: Julia Roberts
