I won't live in L.A. again, hell no, my friends tell me s**t when they come over I don't want to hear. I don't even know who got married and who got pregnant. You turn on the news in L.A. and it is all gossip about people. All the stuff that is going on in the world right now and this gossip is the news?... I love the BBC. I haven't heard myself mentioned on TV since I have been here. That has been really weird for me, and great.

I'm my own person, and people can say whatever they want. I'm still going to be the person that I am.

I saw my whole life in front of me, and I had to let go of past things that I was trying to hold on to that were dark in my life.

It's so hard for people to even believe that there was a lesson to be learned at all, because they just think I'm wrong.

It's flattering that people want to know so much about me and want to take the time to make up that many things about me.

I'm at my happiest when I'm on a movie set. It's like therapy for me.

I wanted to do what Marilyn Monroe did (during the Korean War), when she went and just set up a stage and did a concert for the troops all by herself. It's so amazing seeing that one woman just going somewhere, this beautiful sex kitten, who's basically a pinup, which is what I've always aspired to be.
