audrey tautou

a gorgeous French actress who stars in films like 'Amelie', L'auberge Espagnole' (English title: Pot Luck) and more recently 'the Da Vinci Code' (as Sophie Neveu). A really great actress who displays an impeccable and classic sense of style.
audrey tautou quotes:

"Everyone thinks I have an ethnic origin, and could be from North Africa or parts of Asia, or Italy and Spain. But, as far as I know, I'm 100-percent French."

"I show through my movies that I can do something else. But I always play strong-minded characters. I think it's maybe because I'm like that. I love being by myself."

"I wouldn't mind being in an American film for a laugh, but I certainly don't want to be in Thingy Blah Blah 3, if you know what I mean."

tautology

True by definition, literally "saying the same". Pointlessly obvious. Additional words that add no meaning.
"Either we'll get in trouble, or we won't" is a logical tautology. By including all possibilities the statement must inherently be true.

In "PIN number" the word "number" is a tautology because a PIN is always a number. (At least that's what the N originally stood for — if the term PIN evolved to include letters someday then PIN number would no longer be a tautology.)

In "morning sunrise" the tautology is "morning" because sunrises are a subset of mornings; removing the first word removes no meaning. (The addition of "morning" may be aesthetically more pleasing, in a poem for example, but it remains a logical tautology.)
