basically wanting
I didn't set out wanting to be an actress. That's not what I did. I didn't go to class striving to become an actress. I just basically - honestly, I didn't have anything else going.

I'm not the kind of person that would step on people just to get where I wanted to be, but I have crossed moral boundaries when I've either been afraid or desperate.
version
If something comes around that would be a challenge, then that would be wonderful. But if it's a watered-down version of something I've already done, I'd rather do something else.

In June 1972, I went with friends to see the Rolling Stones at the Los Angeles Forum. After the concert, as we crossed through the parking lot, a guy in a brown Mercedes stopped in the middle of the street and got out. He came up to me and asked if I had ever modeled.
deal ways whatever
We all do things where we don't care about other people. And we deal with it in whatever ways we can, denial or make excuses.
people
I was never the kind of person who cared much what people thought about me.

I am self-conscious, and I'm aware of my body. But I struggle with America's limited idea of what perfection is.
