A sex-symbol becomes a thing, I just hate being a thing. But if I'm going to be a symbol of something I'd rather have it sex than some other things we've got symbols of.
Fame has a special burden, which I might as well state here and now. I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. But what goes with it can be a burden
When you don't have any money, the problem is food. When you have money, it's sex. When you have both, it's health.
Of the nude pictures: Sure I posed. I needed the money.
I'm sin, but I'm not the devil.
You're the beautiful one. It's society that's ugly.
Just because you've failed once, it doesn't mean you're going to fail at everything.

I want to be an artist, not an erotic freak. I don’t want to be sold to the public as a celluloid aphrodisiac.
I love a natural look in pictures. I like people with a feeling one way or another — it shows an inner life. I like to see that there’s something going on inside them.
