Louise Lombard Quotes & Trivia



Quotes

Louise: My parents are probably the biggest influence in my life. I still find myself listening to them when I'm taking a decision. I have a very good relationship with my father. If I have problems, I can talk them through with him. He's a very wise man. He would say that at the end of the day, when your head hits the pillow, you have to deal with what you've done that day. And if you can't face that, then something's got to change. My mother Is a strong woman - very much a fighter - and I think i've inherited my strength, which some people might call stubbornness, from her.

Louise: Before I met Jon, I didn't really understand why people got married. I honestly believed I never would.

But we met on set and that is a big no-no. You don't form relationships with people you're working with.

Louise: I've come to accept that physical appearance is part of the package you have to offer. Rightly or wrongly, mainstream movies are driven by conventional requirements. And, unless you are reconciled to that, you're going to be continually frustrated and driven insane.

Louise Lombard: (After being asked if she was nervous joining CSI so late) Absolutely. I’ve done enough TV series to know how tight that bond is with a cast. It very quickly becomes a tight family unit. I joined in the fifth season and I thought the producers were crazy, trying to bring in a new character. It was an unfounded fear, but I was anxious.
