- [on why she quit acting] I was a talented actor and I took it very seriously, and it bothered me a great deal that every time I went to a set or an audition, it was "Take off your top" or "We want to see you naked". Yes, I had a gorgeous body when I was younger, but that wasn't what I was selling. I was selling my talent.
