“The women that can buy these clothes—let’s say they are between 35 and 45, and they have a beautiful, strong body with a little bit of thigh and a little bit of ass. And they have some lines on their face because you weathered life and you smile a lot. But then you have to hold yourself to an ideal of an anorexic 16-year-old Russian model? It’s fucking bullshit.”

“The only time I worked for Victoria’s Secret is because I, like everybody else, wanted to fuck a supermodel. And I did! And that was enough, for that one specific reason.”

Well you see, movies are our generation`s folklore. It`s our pop culture, our reference point. I don`t want it to sound arrogant but I felt that my passion and love for the movies gave me enough guidance as to how I would present a character by mixing elements of different actresses and performances that inspired me. It`s actresses like Sigourney Weaver who was so strong and amazing in Alien and at the same time so feminine and fragile in something like The Year Of Living Dangerously. It`s Faye Dunaway, who is so completely a woman in her films. Her eyes are so...she has very sorrowful eyes. The things you learn from her face in Chinatown!

I spent two months on the set with Brian De Palma. I watched everything. Even then I didn`t have any scenes I`d hang around just to be able to breathe the air. I loved acting and performing. I desired to make the most of the experience. It was amazing.
