Actress Quote by Jennifer Garner

“I've known for a long time that your looks will only take you so far, and I think I'm in the process of showing what I can do as an actress. I wouldn't mind if someone says I'm a good actress who's also kind of nice to look at. There's a lot worse things people can say about you.” quote by Jennifer Garner
