But 'Playboy' was liberating. I was drawn to it and went for it full throttle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always liked Playboy; I think it's very tasteful.
Not only did I enjoy the creative side of Playboy and enjoy being surrounded by people who are curious about life, but I also love the analytical and hard business side of it.
I came to Playboy not expecting to stay. But after five years, I found myself really enjoying the business world, and I realized I had some skill.
When I was a teenager, 'Playboy' was the most interesting magazine in the world, and not just for the playmates. I liked the interviews and the stories, and all that, but nowadays most of the stuff in there doesn't interest me.
I didn't want to be the girl who posed in 'Playboy' and then - by the way - made some music.
Once Playboy came to me, all the preachers ran. I needed to pose in Playboy to make money.
I wanted to do Playboy to get across the same ideas I'm singing and writing about these days. It's all about proving that a woman can defy stereotypes.
If I didn't have to do it, I wouldn't have done it. If I had a million bucks in the bank, I wouldn't have done Playboy.
I would never do 'Playboy.'
I never read Playboy before I started working there and stopped reading it the day I quit.
