The difference between Marilyn Monroe and the early Pamela Anderson is not that great. What's amazing is that the taste of American men and international tastes in terms of beauty have essentially stayed the same. Styles change but our view of beauty stays the same.

So I won an Oscar. It's amazing. I've got that for the rest of my life for a performance I am proud of. It nearly killed me. I am really proud of the film. That's it moving on.

My early childhood prepared me to be a social psychologist. I grew up in a South Bronx ghetto in a very poor family. From Sicilian origin I was the first person in my family to complete high school let alone go to college.

I sailboat raced I love to go out on my motorcycle alone but I also love my family dearly. I love that aspect of my life as well.

When I was in my early 20s I had my hair permed. Bad idea! It turned into total frizz. My advice to women is if you have nice hair already don't get a perm leave your hair alone!

I used to do a lot of interviews in the early '80s when my career started but it came to a point when I decided I didn't want to talk anymore and people kind of understood that and left me alone.

As a child I had to get up early for school or work. I'd get ready by myself. I'd set my alarm to wake me up very early in the morning and be off to work the family driver driving me every morning. I did it alone my parents never coming in to wake me up.

Writers may be disreputable incorrigible early to decay or late to bloom but they dare to go it alone.

Early on if I was alone two three nights in a row I'd start writing poems about suicide.

I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end the more difficult it got. You don't see things clearly as long as you're still involved.
