For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.

It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.

I don't have a problem with nudity. I never have. I was born naked. I'd like to buried naked. It's a way of life in Australia.

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.
