It is a hard thing to quit. It`s good money for not too much hard work. It allows me to be selective about the acting parts I take. (on modeling)

Whether I`m a sex symbol or not isn`t the kind of thing I think about too much. I just go in, do my job, get the money and go home. Whatever people think about me is up to them.

Being a model first opened some doors and closed some others. For the most part, it has been a positive transition. I`m being given a chance to prove myself because they know who I am. But coming from a modeling background, you also bring along the mindless bimbo baggage that all models have attached to them and because of that you have to work that much harder. I also have to be a bit more careful about the choices I make. A complete unknown could come along, do a string of B movies and work her way up without calling any attention to herself. I can`t do that.

Many of the parts I`m offered, even at this point in my career, are stupid bimbo roles that require nudity. I`ve been dealing with the nudity thing throughout my modeling career. They take one look at me and they expect me to take my clothes off. Some people don`t have a problem with nudity. I do, so I`ve turned down quite a few scripts. (from a 1992 interview)
