I never had any qualms about posing nude. The human body was always an attractive figure to me, that is, if it was in healthy shape, and young.

I think I had a more European outlook about the body and sex. The body is in no way dirty, and sex is something beautiful to give to and share with a lover. It has nothing to do with promiscuity, because I only believe in being in love with one man at a time.

Yves Montand and Toshiro Mifune are two favorite actors of mine, though I've only seen them in a few pictures. They have such personal strength: they're not truly handsome, but that doesn't matter.

In a way, I'm like Will Rogers, never having met a man I really disliked. I'm not a vamp. I just like men.

I never claimed to have any extraordinary talent, just maybe extraordinary curiosity. I can learn, I am learning, and I hope to become a proficient, eventually a good, actress. Several have made the transition from a sex symbol to being taken seriously - that's something I really yearn for.

I can honestly, and proudly, say that I never was on the casting couch. Oh, of course there have been advances from certain men in the movie industry, but nothing overwhelming.
