For me, it always goes back to what my mother taught me and my sisters. That all women are beautiful, and we should embrace each other.

I love Cheetos, those hot, spicy kind. And chocolate. Every time I'm in the airport I'm buying Cheetos and eating them on the airplane.

My parents came from lower-class British backgrounds. But they worked hard and, without formal education, made it where they are today.

I was always focussed on the modelling and succeeding in that, but now I'm completely focused on making it over in India in the movies.

I'm always reading several books at the same time, depending on how deeply engrossed in it I am, if it's fiction and if it captures me.

I'm not a party person. I'm a nerd. I'm not an extrovert in that way at all. The things I enjoy doing could be boring to somebody else.

I'm going to fight until the end. My husband is worth it. He wanted me to have it. He was worth a lot. He was a very, very wealthy man.

When I was pregnant with my second baby, I almost gained 50 pounds. I enjoyed my pregnancy, but then I had to lose the weight for work.

Easter is one of my favorite holidays with the kids. They get to run loose, and we always have our family and loved ones all around us!

Becoming an actress takes a lot longer than being a star. I don't want to be a star. I want to be an actress. I want to build a career.

Though my parents assured me over and over again that I wasn't stupid or slow, I sensed that my dyslexia was now a stigma on all of us.

[Motherhood] is an incredibly huge challenge. You need support. You need resources. You need access to childcare and good safe schools.

The thought of attention made me want to hide in a closet. I wasn't a kid who liked attention. I liked solitude and I still kind of do.

Sometimes I wake up and think, 'I want to look like Sherlock Holmes today,' and other times I want to look like a witch from 'Macbeth.'

I wouldn't say I am the type of girl who craves Doritos, but I definitely love a good cupcake sometimes. Or a croissant in the morning.

After studying art, I was a painter for a while and was asked to audition for a movie randomly. I hadn't thought of acting before that.

If someone put a camera in my face now, when I am in student mode, I would get embarrassed, but when I am modelling, I play characters.

Some girls get swept up in the lifestyle-clubbing and partying with celebrities. You can't live your life like that, though. It's fake.

But I think the most important thing is to find the love of your life and have fun in love. And enjoy and appreciate what comes to you.

I'd say I'm a good cook. I have a lot of German recipes that I can make - schnitzel, meatballs and things with cabbage. I love cabbage.

I'm happy single, but I'm happy in both cases. I feel like I definitely thrive more as a human and I'm more successful when I'm single.

I think someone like Carmen Electra would be great in 'Peepshow.' Really, though, I think anyone who can sing and dance would be great.

The audition process is always grueling. You always hope to just get offered things, and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.

My long, blonde hair has been my trademark ever since I started modelling in the Seventies, when I was scouted sunbathing in St Tropez.

I have gone out with younger men, and they're great fun; they've got enthusiasm. Stamina! But I think older men are much better lovers.

Jim Bakker came along. He said, Jessica Hahn, listen. You're a virgin. As God as my witness. He said, We need a girl that we can trust.

I got involved in cocaine because I needed to lose weight. I felt the pressure living here. I took it to wake me up and keep me moving.

I tend to sort of over-accessorize, but to feel empowered, I strip it all down and become minimal so that it's almost counterintuitive.

I don't really have a New Year's resolution to go on a diet or anything like that. I am who I am, and I don't want to be somebody else.

I look at myself, I compare myself to other people, but then I make myself humble. You know what? God created you this way. You're you.

I like my bikinis very small, and I also like, uh, nude-colored bikinis because people double-take - they think I'm naked on the beach.

I find it funny because people complain about Brooklyn becoming too hip, but would they prefer stock brokers or gunfights or something?

I am a big believer that you can have a successful business and give back; it's just about the intention behind starting your business.

In 1974, the modeling world changed. Jerry Ford and my lawyer negotiated the deal for the first exclusive contract in modeling history.

If I didn't ever model? I would be back in Kansas. I would probably end up being a pastry chef. My grandma taught me how to make a pie.

I'm very down-to-earth and approachable, and I can be one of the guys and watch sports... I like to cook - I'm like the girl next door.

My only goal is to be the best actress I can be. You have to give it everything. All I have as an actress is the revelation of my soul.

There's something so comforting to me about having a cup of tea, and it really needs to be made with love - I can taste the difference.

I was always getting run-down from jet lag and being in strange towns where I didn't speak the language or know what the food was like.

You cannot leave the house to take the garbage out without full-on makeup and your hair done. You have to fight for your man out there.

I think it's very important that girls see themselves as a brand - they have to go after what they want and be ready to work very hard.

Everything you need to know is right there inside, waiting for you to tap in and discover it, and then hopefully do something about it.

I don't understand people getting depressed about getting older. There is nothing you can do about it, so you might as well embrace it.

I always looked up to Slash from Guns N' Roses, and I always pictured myself being a rock star and playing the guitar, just going crazy.

I went to the U.S. to start my modeling career at a very young age. So, venturing into films and handling the pressure isn't a big task.

I try to do Pilates when I can all year around and I also like to swim a lot. I also have a trainer that kicks my butt when it's needed.

Pilates makes you feel good because you're doing something that's good for your body, and you start seeing it. It elongates the muscles.

My favorite designers are, Chloe, D&G, Christian Louboutin and Marc Jacobs. I change my style from day to day, so I have many favorites.

Scorsese, Spielberg, Tarantino, Peter Jackson - all of you: I'm here, I'm ready. I can do funny faces, I can sing, I can dance. Hire me!

One of the big misconceptions about me is that I walk around in mini-skirts and high heels twenty-four seven and go to the gym in heels.
