One of my goals is to educate myself more as a woman in this business. ”

It's easier to shut yourself off outside than reveal your inner thoughts. ”

I'm fairly introverted, but when I do stuff like a Maxim shoot, there's a side of me I call Gillian. ”

I might do my own independent film, that my husband wrote for me, if all the ducks are in a row. ”

I maintain my inner beauty by trying to lead a balanced life in general. I try to eat healthy foods, but... that doesn't mean I won't treat myself now and then! I work out almost every day, which gives me more energy and helps me feel stronger. I also try to be a genuinely good person to the people around me. ”

My worst thing that I have is that I think too much. And so it's better to go with your gut and do your best and trust the creators and the director that you have there and go scene to scene. ”

The best beauty advice I ever received is to keep skin hydrated and limit harsh exposure to the sun. If you are set on the tanned look, there are plenty of great creams that will give you a healthy-looking glow. ”

I look forward to change, but there is a part of me that absolutely dreads it. ”

You cannot control another human being, and you just have to learn to go with the flow and laugh at yourself, in whatever capacity. ”
