I think looks do matter on television.
I could be a model for one night. But I'm also a professional soccer player, and I like to be taken seriously on the field.
I could have made a lot of money doing 'Golden Girls,' and I would have been good. But the image of it! And for me to work with Betty White every day would be like taking cyanide.
I don't believe a role can be written keeping in mind some actor. Even if such roles exist, I don't pick them because I generally choose roles that I think will suit my image.
First impressions are huge, especially with the coaching staff.
I hope I will not be typecast as a Bond girl for the rest of my life. I'm very proud of being a part of the Bond family, but I don't want to be the sexy girl forever. I'm not meaning to complain, but I just want to be taken seriously.
What you wear can be such an indicator of so many things. You know, how you feel, how you want others to perceive you. So, that is an absolutely essential part of building a character.
I've never had Botox. But I like people to imagine I have.
I noticed that on the Beach Boys' 'Pet Sounds' record they could get away with racy lyrics like that because of how they looked and the melodic way they sang the suggestive stuff. They slid it by the censors.
Throughout the years, I've grown up in front of the limelight as a model and an actress and I believe makeup plays an important part in building the confidence to feel beautiful.
As the President of the United States of America, your skin speaks before your mouth opens.
Realizing that our actions, feelings and behaviour are the result of our own images and beliefs gives us the level that psychology has always needed for changing personality.
We want people to realize you are at a design school, not a land grant college. The way we look says a great deal about who we are.
The destiny of photography has taken it far beyond the role to which it was originally thought to be limited: to give more accurate reports on reality (including works of art). Photography is the reality; the real object is often experienced as a letdown.
Especially in the Dixie Chicks, everyone wants you to play a role. Natalie was the feisty one. Martie was the nice one 'cause she smiles all the time onstage, and I was the quiet one.
But I think the image that's thrown out on television is a bad image. Because you see players who want to imitate hip-hop stars. And the NBA is taking advantage of the situation.
It's something that I think I'm going to have to fight against for most of my career, for people to take me seriously as an actor as opposed to a good-looking guy. It's not what I want to be known as.
Some people... cling to the idea that the photograph is an inherently real or honest image and as such is always on a different plane from an obviously subjective form of visual communication such as painting.
I don't really worry about being typecast much. I mean, everyone in Hollywood is typecast to a degree.
No matter what, people don't think of me for glamorous parts. I'll go to an audition or a meeting in a pretty dress, and they still think of me as depressed or embattled. Hopefully, that will change.
Some people will always think I've got the eyes of Satan. Others will think I'm a TV god. People have the right to criticise.
I'm fascinated with what an audience will take away from an image.
If we're evaluating cool to the way other rappers appear to be cool, then I'm not cool at all.
So successful has been the camera's role in beautifying the world that photographs, rather than the world, have become the standard of the beautiful.
It's important to find what really suits who you are, because style isn't only what you wear, it's what you project.
