I was very flattered by the sex-kitten thing because I never thought of myself as that.
Ever since I was four years old, I loved making people smile, making them think, making them feel good, feel some kind of emotion.
I've always tried to do my very best, and I want to be the very best age, whatever age I am.
Age is such a natural progression you shouldn't fight it.
For me, a kitchen is like science fiction. I only go there to open the refrigerator and take something out.
The critics had an image of me, and they wouldn't accept any other... I was a cartoon character. A joke.
