• "I think any girl who comes to Hollywood with sex symbol or bombshell hanging over her has a rough road."




• "To form another person's opinion, you are its mirror, and to raise a halfway decent human being on this planet is a pretty hard job in this day and age."




• "Unfortunately it is true that the more flesh you show, the further up the ladder you go."




• "I'm extremely competitive with myself. But I'm not actively competitive with other women in the business. Which may have been a mistake. I've never had someone in my life, agent or otherwise, fighting for me."




• ""This business is so fickle. I know what it feels like to be on the absolute bottom-emotionally, spiritually, professionally-to be absolutely naked down there, and then to get up and start rising, one step at a time."




• "I'm a very determined businesswoman... I've got lots of things to do, and I don't have time to be classified as difficult, and I don't have time."




• "Basically, my work in the last ten years has been for the protection of animals, and it has opened me up to every organized animal-rights group. "
