    Hubba, hubba...

    What a fantastic woman.

    And what a fantastic set of legs.

    Cheers.

    Fantastic classy woman, a wonderful role model for all women.

    I remember seeing both Claudine and Julia, both powerful strong women. Julia had the same career as my mom and you both favor so much. Both roles had a powerful influence on me. Thank you.

    Best of luck to you in all your endeavors!

    What did she mean by "Your background is showing"?

    I'm really enjoying this interview.

    It's nice to hear a person speak candidly, honestly, and humorously.

    She has certainly earned the right to do so.
