In everyday life I am quiet and reserved, not the housekeeper type but cool and relaxed. I don't get up in the morning wearing false eyelashes and I don't wear fancy underwear when I'm cooking popcorn. I'm a nice little ducky.

Every time I reach a new peak, I see a new one I want to climb.

When you are raised to believe that anything having to do with sex is forbidden and taboo, then of course that's all you want to know about. That becomes your complete and utter fascination. That is the surest way to interest a child.

The fact of the matter is that you can use your beauty and use your charm and be flirtatious, and you can get people interested in your beauty. But you cannot maintain that. In the end, talent is the only thing. My work is the only thing that's going to change any minds.

Things were a lot simpler in Detroit. I didn't care about anything but boyfriends.

I think there probably was a time when I was less provocative. That's when I was married.

I'm disciplined. And I'm persevering. And I don't give up very easily... and I'm reliable.
