I can buy and sell any of these people who are always criticizing me.

I'm one Pia Zadora, the same way all the time. That's why I'm happy. It took me a long time to get to the point where could be myself all the time.

When I was 21 I stopped and got married. I tried for a while to be the perfect wife, society this, society that but it wasn't working, so after about a year I went back to work.

But there's not enough time in life to go sit at a party, have a drink, and make idle conversation. There's too many important things to do. Just being together with my husband, spending time alone, which I have very little of.

I can buy and sell any of these people who are always criticizing me.

The thing you do is escape from them by immersing myself in the character you're playing.

You know, it was important for me to do something like that, because nobody ever really thought I could do anything except look sexy on a poster and go shopping.
