“I think that you have to do whatever feels good for you.”
Answering the question, "Would you describe yourself as a feminist? Have you ever refused a modelling job because it was too demeaning to women?", as quoted by The Independent (UK) 19 February 2004.
Context: I think that you have to do whatever feels good for you. As a woman, you should feel glamorous, beautiful and confident. You should be unique. For me, if something doesn't move you in that direction, then why do it? I have considered doing Playboy. I have had offers on the table many times. But then, it has to work the way I want it to. I mean, I have no problem being naked at all — I come from a place where I am used to running around naked. But you still have to feel confident and beautiful about it, and I had a checklist of how I wanted certain things and they wanted other things, so in the end, we didn't agree.
