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

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 don't shoot anything. I could never kill an animal. My dad does all the hunting, and he eats everything that he kills.

If you're seen as beautiful or sexy then your only options in terms of character descriptions are beautiful, sexy, cute - and that's it. And that affords you a certain amount of opportunity but that opportunity ultimately leads to a spark, never a flame.

A lot of nudity in my early movies was out of necessity. When I came out to Hollywood, I didn't know anybody, I didn't have any connections. I did what a lot of people have to do in the real world, and just work up from the bottom.

It requires bravery to do something no one else around you is doing.

I always felt like an outcast at school. I had good friends, but none that I truly related to.
