Quote of the Day: A few words from 'WOMEN ON THE VERGE' star Tamsin Greig...
"Oh, nobody would ever want to know me in Hollywood. I'm far too puffin-faced for that, too weird-looking. No, I think I'll probably stick to telly, if telly'll have me, though I wouldn't mind doing radio plays as well."
-- Tamsin Greig (Wikiquote)
