Tawny Kitaen

I used to try to live down that whole big-hair era, but I've come to accept it and have fun with it all.

I'd really like to do a prime time series. That way I could work in the same city I live in and enjoy regular hours. Movies have taken me all over the world. And that gets tiresome very quickly.

I'd love to play a role like Kathleen Turner in 'Body Heat.'

I hate pictures like 'Witchboard.'

My real name is Julie Tawny Kitaen. I know it sounds phony but it isn't.

Cooking used to be the one thing that kept my mind exactly where my body was. It's a sign of growing up that I can do that other ways now.

I dabble in everything... it's very therapeutic.

I've made movies all over the world but I really like staying home. I can cook my meals, be a normal person.

I felt like I was in the wrong body, especially when you're considered a sex symbol.

I did floor and I did the balance beam, so, you know, dancing on two Jaguar hoods, it was a snap!

MTV was just such a big pop cultural phenomenon, and I was lucky to be part of it.

I've been around the block a few times. There is still a lot to learn but I've learned a lot in my life through error.

People think abuse is just for women. It must drive men absolutely insane because men get abused as well.

I will never call 911 again.

I can still do the splits on cars, but... nothing else!

I didn't have a lot of experience as a dancer.

It's so hard for a girl who has had to work on her figure and be sexy. It makes you realize I am not just a body.
