Condescending Quote by Jennifer Coolidge

“There's something about me that suggests I don't have an intelligent atom in me at all. So people say things to me that they wouldn't say to other people. Insulting, condescending things. They don't think I notice. But, of course, I'm taking it all in.” quote by Jennifer Coolidge
