It's like the underwear in the sense that they are premium products at competitive prices. I spent a long time researching the products, and the philosophy is the same as the lingerie.
offer an individual interpretation of the story inherent in the image they are writing.
With the anthology we've taken that concept one step further and we've asked certain people to give their opinion of what's going on. I like that intellectual side.
G-strings are uncomfortable. Girls want real knickers now.
I'm almost 50, so I obviously don't have the same body that I had when I was 20. But I also don't have the same mindset either, when I was wracked with self-consciousness and insecurity. Now I really appreciate my maturity as a woman, my depth of spirit and soul and my understanding of who I am and what's important to me.
I like colourful knickers, but most importantly a great pair of knickers should be taken off with more joy than they were put on.
You have nothing to sell except for the image: The image is everything.
I wanted so badly to study ballet, but it was really all about wearing the tutu.
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 went to America on holiday when I was 17 and, before I knew it, I'd been signed up by an agency and had these obligations I didn't understand, but which I couldn't say no to. This industry chose me. But I did choose to make it fulfilling.
But I do know focusing on the exterior doesn't make me happy. If I want peace and serenity, it won't be reached by getting thinner or fatter.
It was like a big family, since so many of us brought our kids. We all went surfing. It was so relaxed and easy.
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.
As long as people want to see me in movies, and as long as I find it interesting, I'll keep working.
