Red carpet Quote by Catherine Zeta-Jones

“I find this wave of super-skinny women scary. I'm not going to lie to you. I've got to drag myself down to the gym like everybody else. But I look at the red carpet sometimes and it's like a pageant. I'm quite a broad girl, not at all delicate.” quote by Catherine Zeta-Jones
