#Quote
1Men ask me to dance, but when I stand up they start to back off, saying: 'Maybe some other time'. That's when I grab 'em and say: 'There's no time like here and now, fella'. - Referring to her height (6' 1").
2People think I'm strong as hard as I look. But I've a very sensitive side and need to be loved by everyone.
3I'm not a beautiful person and I never have been. My ex Sylvester Stallone was obsessed with my looks. He got my profile carved into the place settings of our crystal dining table. And he commissioned a bronze statue of the two of us in our underwear for his garden. It was so embarrassing. But I never understood his fascination.
4Nothing in life can ever be too big. At least, that's what I've always told all my boyfriends - and I'm not just talking about diamond rings.
5"I like to have men look at me from the bottom to the top." (referring to her height: 6'1")
6I'm European and we do that kind of thing (walking naked). It shocked the rest of the world but they got used to do it.
7When 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.
8I do expose my body, but only because I think people should have something nice to look at.
