As long as people want to see me in movies, and as long as I find it interesting, I'll keep working.
For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.
You check to see the facts are correct where business is concerned but if I read everything that was written about me, I'd end up feeling totally insecure about myself.
It was like a big family, since so many of us brought our kids. We all went surfing. It was so relaxed and easy.
I try to meditate every morning. It relaxes me, clears my mind, and sets my day off on the right foot before things get too manic.
It's always been very clear to me that I was going to be a mother and that my purpose in life was to give life.
A celebrity name is never enough for an intelligent mass market... truly successful businesses are born of passion and heartfelt interest.
I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.
The image is where you have dinner at night, who you're seeing. It's what car you drive and how you dress. People in the industry sell that, and it creates a dream. There's nothing else.
I don't look at myself in the mirror. I'll flash past a mirror in the morning to check how I'm dressed, that's it.
A few pounds show a lot on my body. But it's okay. I believe women look good with a bit of softness to them.
Everything I do is about women honouring themselves, treating themselves and taking care of themselves.
I've had two children and no surgery. My body is the result of good genes and a healthy attitude.
I've always found it very difficult to understand the laws as far as nudity in America - how some things are pornographic and some things are not pornographic. It's against the law to go topless on the beach, but you can go buy a gun. That just seems so absurd to me.
