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

There is a common, puritanical way that we look at things where, if it involves sexuality, somehow the women must be compromised. It's just chauvinistic to deny women their sexuality. It's about empowering. It comes down to choices. If the choices are available and they're making that choice, they're not being exploited.

When I run on the beach, it's always in slow motion. That's just how I roll.

I am just like any other girl, a sucker for romance.

I'd love to teach a self-defense class for ladies, specifically about running away from psychos in masks chasing them with chainsaws.

We all appreciated a certain aesthetic, and with that appreciation came a certain stylized presence.

I seem to be stuck in the '60s, and my favorite music, cars, and women's fashion come from that era. And the sense of social rebellion. It was a good time for a lot of things.
