It's my job in Hollywood to find roles where I get to be a character not a bathing suit.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As an actor, I know it is my job to shape myself for a role - any role.
Fashion is really interesting to me, but I'm not a professional model, so I'm focusing my career on acting.
I actually wanted to be an exotic dancer, but that didn't work out so I thought I'd take on acting.
Because modeling is lucrative, I'm able to save up and be more particular about the acting roles I take.
When I do film, I really take on roles and I take on characters.
I'd rather just be who I am and get the kind of movies that I want or the kind of modeling jobs I want based on who I am, really.
Everything that I am going to do as an actress doesn't matter where it's coming from. It just has to be interesting.
I don't pick my roles based on what clothes I have to wear. I pick roles because of the character I have to portray, and the public have enjoyed seeing me in those roles.
I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.
My chosen occupation isn't necessarily movie star; I see my chosen occupation as actor.
