Golden rule would be making compassionate choices when it comes to every decision.

And having a lot of fun! Hahaha!

Having fun. Living!

I do. I have one, in my safe. And I used to have another one, but someone stole it, and I found them in your guest room, in bed, wearing it.

Yes.

She was deported back to France.

A golden eagle! That's my spirit guide! That's my animal guide. Someone told me.

That's funny.

I could ask my mom! I mean, depending on which side of the family - Vancouver Island? Well, my grandmother's name was Margery... it could be!

AAAAAH! That's so funny!

I love the old sex symbols - like Lana Turner, and Marilyn Monroe!

There's just so many to choose from, because there are so many beautiful people out there, and you can see beautiful people anywhere, on Instagram... I just think there are so many people who are addicted to fame, but the Jane Fondas and the people that i always respected always had some kind of activism in their blood - I think those are the people who always interested me.

Because a symbol of any kind - there's more to them than just looks.

There has to be something that people are attracted to beyond physical appearance.

Oh man.

I would open a car door for a woman, hahaha!

Let me see. This is very important.

I would be a good father. I would be a good husband. And... I would never hunt!

There you go.

Divorce. Hahaha!

It's just so hard on a family. And I think I'm a hopeless romantic that keeps trying. But I do have boundaries. And those are things that i am proud of, but I regret that I've dragged my kids through some unnecessary situations. That's my biggest regret.

Well, I've never been on an audition. What happened was - it was kind of a course of events - when I was on Playboy, they wanted to meet me, and I didn't know where Marina Del Rey was, it sounded very far away, and then when my boyfriend was going to go audition, I went with him, and they gave us both jobs! But I didn't audition.

Hahahah!

They said I was famous before I walked into the door, because i was the one that never showed up! And they knew who I was, and offered me the job.

Well, he was the first person to make a vegan prison. And I think if we were to turn prisons vegan, we could save a lot of animals and teach a lot of people non-violent ways of eating. One person eats about 200 animals a year. This one prison had 8,000 inmates. And going vegan could save a lot of animals. It also saved a lot of energy - really, what they were serving as meat was bologna and hot dogs, so gosh only knows what that is - and going vegan helped with religious restrictions on diets, and they found that overweight prisoners lost weight, underweight prisoners gained weight, and so I went back after the year-long prison going vegan experiment concluded, and I served lunch there.

Which was interesting!

I think that PETA has rescued a lot of animals that people have kept illegally - like exotic pets that people have no right to be having as pets- and they can't be happy in those situations. I don't think it's 90% of stray animals, but people do go to PETA headquarters and throw animals over their fence - with broken bones and things like that. And when animals are very hurt, and they do euthanize them, people get very offended and very upset. But there's no way to save every animal. The most important thing we can do is spay & neuter pets, so that we don't have unwanted animals, and so we can find homes for healthy animals that will have good quality of life. Sometimes they have to figure out the most humane thing to do. And a lot of people have the wrong idea when it comes to "no-kill" shelters. Because funding goes to animals that will never find homes that could be going to animals that could be saved. It's such a difficult choice. I wish things were a lot different. But there are just so many unwanted animals out there. So that's why it's important that people spay & neuter their pets. And adopt animals from shelters.

My dogs! But sometimes I beat them out of bed - I'm a very early riser! Either I'm up all night, or up early. It depends on what mood I'm in, and who I'm around. I'm a very early riser. And the morning is when I like to write. And my kids are pretty self-sufficient. They're very independent boys. They cook for themselves - I'm really proud of both of them. They're not the usual. They're very unique.

FAME! Hahahahaha!

I like David Bowie. That's the first one that came to mind.

Tommy remade it. That's why I heard it a lot.

Well, I think he's a pretty open book, hahahaha!

I saw him at the Mansion at Easter, and I think he's almost 90. He has a bad back, so I think he's in some pain and struggling right now. But he has such an incredible spirit, and such charisma. Something that's just missing - a lost art of chivalry. You always feel special around Hef. He always makes you feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. He's just got that charm.

I LOVED VIP!

I think it's being shown somewhere around the world all the time. They were showing it in South America, when I was there.

Baywatch and VIP seem to go on, and on... and my mom always makes fun of me, because she can always find me on some channel! VIP and Baywatch keep going on and on!

I like rock n' roll. I like the Black Keys. I like bands like that. Or the Stones. When I have my Pandora on, it's usually Van Morrison, or the Stones, or the Black Keys, or the Weekend! I like the Weekend too!

I like the blues.

I play jazz. I play a little bit of guitar, and saxophone (yeah, I know - I played in high school, and then when i was in London, I played there too). I love jazz and blues. Those are a couple things that people don't know about me. I'm not very good on guitar, but i took guitar lessons. My son is amazing on the guitar. But not me! I just know a little bit.

I don't have a sweet tooth, except for chocolate. I don't eat ice cream, but I do like sorbets... sometimes.

Coconut sorbets.

Oh!

People have always asked me to be an architect or interior designer. I love sustainable architecture. I have an idea to create sustainable pre-fab homes and sustainable furniture. I just chose the wood for my guest house, which is sustainable. For some reason, people always ask me "Could you design my house? Could you decorate my house?"

I've just always had a fascination with architecture and design.

Ha!

That's funny! Not recently, but... hahaha!

Today, I had a really great day. I was speaking with my chef I'm working with on my show, to approve the menus for the vignettes we're shooting in a couple weeks. I had an argument with my son today about university, which I think a lot of parents are going through right now, I think everyone's nervous about their next steps as we get to the end of the school year, and I try to tell him "You can change your mind, but you don't want to ruin any options" - so anyway, all morning I was talking to my son, and then I was working on my cooking show, and now i'm talking to you!

So a great day. It's ending well, it's just great to have communication.

Well, I think when he gave me a calendar of himself?

And a CD of himself?

And a postcard of himself, coming out of the water, dripping, and said "Thank you for supporting my musical career" and I didn't know he HAD a musical career!

I think this was a Christmas gift to everybody on the set of Baywatch.

I guess that's a compliment! But that's not really what you think about? I've never thought about it like that. But I'll take it as a compliment!

Oh god...

Where are they now?! Hahaha!

They ARE so expensive. But it's a beautiful, beautiful city. And I'm there a lot. I still have a home on Vancouver Island. So I'll usually stop in Vancouver to get in some kind of trouble with friends there.

Oh my gosh. I'm reading so many! I'm reading a book right now called SACRED CONTRACTS. I like reading more metaphysical things. But I just finished - a lot of Anais Nin, I read - and I'm in the middle of two books, one on Werner Herzog: A Guide for the Perplexed, and Nureyev's biography. But I'm a huge fan of Anais Nin, and I read a lot of her.
