I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.

If you've looked at all the glamour magazines lately, all the covers are actresses. If they are on those covers, they are going to try to emulate models. That's just the way it is.

The unsaid message of that endless rack of juniors' pushup bras? No matter what size you are, it still isn't good enough.

Most women's magazines simply try to mold women into bigger and better consumers.

I see explicit covers on magazines, and they're getting even more explicit, and it's like, Are women being empowered, or is this just what sells magazines? Are they feeling pressured, or have they really come into themselves and are saying, 'I am woman, hear me roar?'

I don't want to just model. Anyone can do that. I've let myself be in magazines in the past without participating as much as I should have.

In my film 'Queen', there was a funny moment with the bra. My director called and said they are blurring the bra. They said it is vulgar. Our director was furious about it. We are artistes... We see props as they are. A woman's bra is not a danger to the society.

If you look at all the pictures of women in magazines, everybody's got a forehead that looks like a billboard. Completely blank.

I do think it's important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don't really look like that.

I want 'The Lady' magazine to be restored to its traditional place in the pantheon of weekly magazines.
