I’m aware that people see me as a sex symbol. But I know I can act.

In our society, women are valued for their sexual attraction. I’d like to get away from the sex symbol idea of what beauty is. Actually, that’s probably the farthest thing from beauty, because it’s makeup and hair, it’s pouty lips – it’s not real.
I didn’t know I was a sex symbol in the U.K., but if I am, then I’m flattered.

A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing.
Sarah Palin is a symbol of everything that is wrong with the modern United States. As a representative of our political system, she’s a new low in reptilian villainy, the ultimate cynical masterwork of puppeteers like Karl Rove.
