  • You are talking to a leftist. I believe in the redistribution of wealth and power in the world. I believe in universal hospital care for everyone. I believe that we should not have a single homeless person in the richest country in the world.

  • I'm a big believer in everybody being themselves. If not doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, that's great. But if doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, then you should be able to do it. What I do outside the car adds to who I am and expresses a different side of me.

  • It took me six years to be comfortable modeling a swimsuit.

  • I'm very shy. I know it's weird for a person who models lingerie and swimsuits, but I don't like to be the center of attention!
