"I did it because I had a hang-up and I needed to get rid of it so I did it." " And did you succeed?" " Yes... why do you think some Czech stars who have had plastic surgery have problems talking about it?" "I don't know." "Maybe it's because here it's still considered immoral, maybe too extravagant." "It can also be a matter of money, like it's something wasteful and a perk for some women who ignore important things but have time and money to tackle what's not important at all." "Well, my opinion is different." "Many of those plastic surgeries maim you completely." "Also, success isn't guaranteed yet the change is irreversible."

" But you'll have scars and pain." "I won't see the scars below." "I'll see only the scars up here." "And only see the ones underneath when I look in the mirror." " But it will be awfully painful." " Painful." "The pain will go away" "I'm not worried." "It has always gone away and will this time too." "So you won't consider my opinion that you shouldn't have surgery?" "Absolutely not." "No one can talk me out of it." "Not even you." "Do your parents know that you're here at the casting?" "So if we invite you to Prague for the semifinals" " can you come with your parents?"

"The surgeon must be convinced that a woman knows her own mind and does it willingly without anybody forcing her." "Once the doctor realizes that she's not doing it for herself, that she does it only because her man wants her to do it, then of course it might be much better not to do the surgery." "If she's not sure and does it only for her man then it may be that in a year or so, after breaking up with him she returns to change things." "She might want the implants out." "So you have to discuss it thoroughly before the surgery to make sure the person is truly certain and knows what to expect." "I was sitting here like this." "Only the ball is missing..."
