I do expose my body, but only because I think people should have
something nice to look at.

When you makes movies, you usually make good money. But it is also a
very tough job. Once you enter the public&#39;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.

I&#39;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.

&quot;I like to have men look at me from the bottom to the top.&quot; (referring
to her height: 6&#39;1&quot;)

Nothing in life can ever be too big. At least, that&#39;s what I&#39;ve always
told all my boyfriends - and I&#39;m not just talking about diamond
rings.

I&#39;m not a beautiful person and I never have been. My ex <a class="ipc-md-link ipc-md-link--entity" href="/name/nm0000230/?ref_=nmqu_qu">Sylvester Stallone</a> 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.

People think I&#39;m strong as hard as I look. But I&#39;ve a very sensitive
side and need to be loved by everyone.

Men ask me to dance, but when I stand up they start to back off, saying: &#39;Maybe some other time&#39;. That&#39;s when I grab &#39;em and say: &#39;There&#39;s no time like here and now, fella&#39;. - Referring to her height (6&#39; 1&quot;).
