Anderson on getting older:
“I think we’re so much more beautiful the way that we are,” she says. “No one wants to hear about natural beauty from me. But I’m not afraid of getting older. I kind of like that I’m not chasing youth.”
Anderson on last year’s Hulu series “Pam & Tommy” (Ms. Anderson says she was not consulted about the show):
“It’s like, I’m right here. Hello? I’m alive. Maybe you want to sit down and talk to me and find out more? But they didn’t,” Ms. Anderson says. A representative for the model-actress says Hulu did reach out to her team, but the staff kept the inquiries from her because they perceived it to be a hurtful project.
Anderson on defying people’s expectations:
“Part of my life is always trying to get over that hump, convincing people that I’m capable of anything because of the image of me,” she says. “And I know I’m responsible for that. But yeah. I’m a Playmate that wrote a book. Sorry.”
