What one person sees as degrading and disgusting and bad for women might make some women feel empowered and beautiful and strong.
Reading was very important to me as a kid. It was very inspirational to me. I went to a school where that wasn't encouraged so much, but my parents encouraged that, and it has made me part of who I am.
Growning up I felt incredibly guilty anout my fantasies and the things I wanted sexually. I was like: "Why do I feel this way? I don't understand it, but nobody's going to talk to me about it because we're not allowed to talk about that..."
We do have a distorted view of our fantasies in society, but that's because we don't talk about them enough.
I don't believe in a God. I don't believe in any of that stuff to determine my life or my goals or my direction. I just depend on myself.
Persistence and determination are incredibly important. But sometimes you need to analyze the situation and understand when you're wrong. You need to be able to cop to being wrong, learn to change, and continue to grow as a human being.
I am determined and ready to be a commodity that fulfills everyone's fantasies.
Rejection just motivates me to keep trying and to try to do better.
I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am.
I think people need something to believe in, because they don't want to have control over their own lives. They'd rather be able to blame it on an unknown being, or a greater god, or a greater spirit of sorts. And I think it's easier for them to blame it on that.
A shiny ring isn't romantic to me. I think thought and love into what you do for the person you're in love with - that's romance.
There are so many aspects of human sexuality that we're afraid to talk about, because people still don't understand it. It's not just black and white, you know?
My goal is to be myself, and to challenge stereotypes, and to follow the rules, and break them, and make new rules. It's not about doing something that's already been done. That would be silly.
People can dress you the way they want, they can do your makeup the way they want, but they can never take away your voice.
I have this brand, I have my name. And I'm going to do what I want because people will buy it. People will enjoy it. So don't tell me I have to follow this formula and sit inside the box. Because I don't.
People don't really absorb everything they read or hear. They just look at it quickly, and then they choose to remember what they want to remember.
I think there are very few people, in my generation at least, that are that passionate about what they do.
As a woman, and as somebody in the public eye, we always have to be ready for the red carpet and have the nicest outfit, work with the best makeup artist. While all that's nice, we're also human beings.
I don't like any one race or look or type of guy. My tastes as far as looks go are very diverse. I like guys with scruffy beards and leather jackets, but I also like a clean-cut 'GQ'-type guy, so my tastes are very ranged among somebody who laughs at my dumb jokes, too. I have plenty of them.
My body is my art, and it's also the tool that I use to make money.
I'm not very good at parties. I'm a wallflower.
I'm not 18 anymore, so I'm not into starting unnecessary beefs. It's tacky.
I think the big evolutionary step for me is directing my own movies.
I don't want to be looked at. I really want to be a home body.
My dad is really just lazy. He has nothing, I feel, to offer this world.
