I'm fairly introverted, but when I do stuff like a Maxim shoot, there's a side of me I call Gillian.

I look forward to change, but there is a part of me that absolutely dreads it.

I'm a small-town girl, and it'll never be beaten out of me.

I'm learning to embrace who I am and what I look like.

I might do my own independent film, that my husband wrote for me, if all the ducks are in a row.

If you think too much about playing an icon, it will immobilize you. You have to treat it like a fresh character. Sure, there are guidelines so that you don't upset people, but you have to find your own way.
