People who have seen my movies don’t look at me like an idol. They just give me a lot of love and respect.
Movies
I don't think action alone is enough to sustain a film franchise. There are tons of action movies out there that come and go and people don't care about.

The 'Sports Illustrated' cover was the last thing I shot. That week, I told my agent, 'You know what, I really… I don't want to be a model anymore. I really want to do movies.' And I think he wanted to wring my neck at the moment.

Movies, TV, sports, come and go, but what you stand for is what people remember. Mandela, Martin Luther King, John Kennedy are people who really stood for something and were willing to die for it. You don't see a whole lot of that any more.

My sister was the glamourous one and her movies portrayed her beauty and glamour. As a person, she has enormous patience and has single-handedly supported my mother and my siblings. I have always admired her loyalty to the family.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night. Up in front, there with the screen so big, a little kid all alone, and I loved it. I loved anything that moved up there and I didn't miss anything that happened and there was no popcorn either.
