Pamela Anderson

I was never an ambitious girl, or even a self-confident one. I never went in for beauty pageants or wore a stitch of make-up until I went to Los Angeles.

I do a lot for PETA. I do a lot of things I think are really important, I volunteer at school and I'm still amazed I can pay my bills because I feel like I don't work that much, I really don't.

I don't do the gym and I don't diet. I'm vegetarian but I don't diet.

I look back on the last 10 years and I have to say I'm proud of what I have accomplished, because I've been able to raise two beautiful children.

I have two homes in Malibu, a home in Canada that I'm building, and I just love pouring my heart out into this part of my life.

I feel that, at this point in my career, I don't want to do another television show. I don't want to do a film.

I like to work and it kind of keeps me in line, which is very good because I need that structure.

I don't wear sunscreen. I don't have a skincare program.

My father is a great grandfather. He's a wonderful grandfather, but he's a terrible husband.

I don't think I am an actress. I think I've created a brand and a business.

I am the ultimate California girl, which is funny, being that I'm Canadian.

I have my hands full with my kids and so romance is not high on my list of priorities.

My dad read the Bible ten times, and I want to do it in my lifetime. But it's definitely tough getting through.

Basically, I'm a free spirit. I'm kind of an Everywoman.

Like I said, everybody has got something they have to deal with health-wise, and everybody's human. I should look after myself better, but so should everybody, right?

I have to think of moderation, which is not a word that's in my vocabulary. But I try.

I'm never away from my boys for more than three days.

I've had lots of things that didn't work out, like TV shows. You learn a lot through mistakes - I learned that you have to be the captain of your ship. Actually, I own my ship.

In order for a man to feel whole, he needs someone to look up to and someone to look up to him.

I started running, and I hated it. Of course, everyone hates running for the first mile. If you're running two miles or twenty miles, it always hurts. Now I live it. I look forward to it. It's really good. It clears my head.

It's nice to have boundaries, because as long as we have them, we can cross them a bit, and that's what perks interest. If you have full freedom, what do you do?

I want Barack Obama for president. I love Obama. I call Palin the helicopter huntress from hell! I want my children to have a wonderful future, and it's disturbing when I look around. Americans aren't very well-liked. A likable president would be a great start.

I'm a good example of someone who can come to Hollywood and keep their feet on the ground with all the rock stars, all the drama that goes with being here. It's still important to pump your own gas and to be able to vacuum.

I like to do everything myself - I'm very hands-on with my housekeeping, my children, travelling, how I do things.

My refrigerator is full of kale and greens. I can't imagine something greasy, or eating meat.

I don't look at the tabloids. I don't read the tabloids.

I was a gymnast when I was little, like 8, 9, 10.

My career only took off because of one football game. I thought it was funny. 'Playboy' called and offered me a cover just like that. I turned them down initially, because I was nervous about it and my boyfriend at the time didn't want me to do it, but they kept coming back, so I eventually said yes.

The bust of Colonel Sanders stands as a monument to cruelty and has no place in the Kentucky state Capitol.

I feel... sexier, I think, with short hair. I feel like an alien!

It's very liberating to cut your hair.

My hair was so much a part of my personality and all my photo shoots. I hid behind my hair. And then, I just decided I was okay with myself. To have short hair and really show my face is even more revealing than anything. It's a statement - not to everyone else, more to myself. I'm just ready to get out from behind my hair and be myself.

I was getting a little bored with my hair. It's kind of a symbolic thing, just getting rid of the past, moving forward. It's amazing what a reaction you get when you cut your hair.

Even as a kid, I read 'Jung - Reflections and Individuation In Fairy Tales'; all the inner circle of Jung was a real huge thing for me.

I thought, 'If you're going to be on TV, and if you're going to be out and glamorous, the natural look can stay at home.'

I have a Stella McCartney Adidas sports bra. I feel like I'm totally comfortable running. No problem. I have support where I need it.

I don't know if women are meant to run, especially after having kids.

I did five seasons of 'Baywatch,' and I did four seasons of 'VIP.' I've been around awhile.

I hate remakes of TV shows - I didn't like the new Charlie's Angels at all - and I just don't see the point of going back and doing the same thing over again. Baywatch was fun and successful, probably because we didn't know what the heck we were doing.

If people knew how KFC treats its chickens, they'd never eat another drumstick.

Confining marine animals to tanks and separating them from their families and their natural surroundings, just so people can watch them swim in endless circles, teaches us far more about humans than it does about animals - and the lesson is not a flattering one.

I've created my own career in my life, and I've had a lot of fun doing it. I think that's good.

There's never going to be a great misunderstanding of me. I think I'm a little whacked.

I've been married a couple of times and survived!

I don't really think about anything too much. I live in the present. I move on. I don't think about what happened yesterday.

Being halfway through my life, I think we start feeling less invincible and we start thinking more about the important things.

People who wear fur smell like a wet dog if they're in the rain. And they look fat and gross.

I'm kind of proud of myself. I've been able to keep a certain grace about me, even in the times of disgrace and craziness.

The true meaning of feminism is this: to use your strong womanly image to gain strong results in society.

And I'm not an actress. I don't think I am an actress. I think I've created a brand and a business.
