When you makes movies, you usually make good money. But it is also a very tough job. Once you enter the public's eye, you have to be aware that you give up a huge part of your own life. And it is never a job from nine to five.
Im 48 now and I would like to have another baby. I would love to because of all the things I have learned. It would be like starting all over again. But am I too old? Im young at heart and I would be different this time round.
I've covered a lot of ground geographically and emotionally and for years I lost my connection with my family. But the best comfort you can have, whether you are on the phone or sitting there in the living room with them, is with your parents, and to me family has always meant protection. When you smile you get a smile back, unconditionally.
I do expose my body, but only because I think people should have something nice to look at.
I'm not a beautiful person and I never have been.
Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother. There is no transition into being a woman; you literally become a mum and being a mum means you always love someone else more than yourself and it is an unexplainable situation.
Who says I'm gonna marry another guy? In Europe it's not like in America, where you set a date.
Once you enter the public's eye, you have to be aware that you give up a huge part of your own life.
I've lost bags all over the world and had cases end up in London, Frankfurt, Los Angeles and Miami.
People think I'm strong as hard as I look. But I've a very sensitive side and need to be loved by everyone.
Whether you go to Turkey or Mexico, China or Australia, find time to involve yourself with the people you're dealing with.
I go every year to the Huvafen Fushi in the Maldives and it's spectacular.
My childhood was really comfortable and secure, but school was a nightmare. I was a lot taller than the other girls and they called me Gitte the giraffe.
I was shooting a bikini promotion in Mahe in the Seychelles in 1980 when there was a military coup and I, along with a roomful of other people, ended up being kidnapped and held hostage at gunpoint in a windowless room with no ventilation for 36 hours.
