I felt I could become a performer who stood out, who challenged the way things were done and make it more creative and also encourage men and women to not be afraid of their sexuality.

We do have a distorted view of our fantasies in society, but that's because we don't talk about them enough.

Whether that's an action film or a comedy or a drama or anything in between, I'm willing to prove that I can play with the big boys.

Rejection just motivates me to keep trying and to try to do better.

Americans give you the violence, Europeans give you the sex. I think people have been saying that since the 70s. And I think it's kind of pathetic that Americans are still stuck - on the shock value of violence, when sex is such a natural thing for everybody.

What one person sees as degrading and disgusting and bad for women might make some women feel empowered and beautiful and strong.

I can be a very sarcastic person, and sometimes people take every word I say literally.
