Models are just mannequins seeking validation at the hands of sleazy fashion people.

School was a waste of time for me. I was bored and left at 16. I started taking correspondence courses at college instead. I did incredibly well. I won an award for my grades.

I take the sexy girl parts and try to give them something else and make them a character.

I grew up just outside of Austin, and my upbringing was fairly rural.

I was working with real artists [in the Rum Diary], and that's difficult to do and very rare, in this industry, ironically.

I've always been a private person and I've always valued my private life.

They are very different. Women who are empowered by it and have choices based off of their sexuality, are very different from the ones that are being taken advantage of.
