Quotes

  • Rosanna: It's not fair the emphasis put on beauty, or on sexuality.
  • Rosanna: I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me.
  • Rosanna: They stencilled the Playboy bunny on my T-shirt... so we sued them. They're not even great photographs, they're ugly.
  • Rosanna: There's no way I'm going to put [my] kid in the movies, because of the rejection. It's so hard as an adult, so why set her up to feel that bad as a child?
  • Rosanna: There will always be some kid who's the new Kurt Cobain writing great lyrics and singing from his soul. The problem is they're not marketing that anymore or putting it out there.
  • Rosanna: Men want girls. Most men want little girls. They want them in film. They want to look at them. That's all they want. An evolved man is not going to look that way.
  • Rosanna: It's so hard to have relationships when there is so much scrutiny.
  • Rosanna: It's not fair that there aren't very many juicy or varied roles for women.
  • Rosanna: In Hollywood there are a lot of very insecure men running the business.
  • Rosanna: I was in Florida with Burt Stern, the photographer who shot Marilyn Monroe on the beach with a sweater, and we smoked a joint. The bathing suit kept coming off in the water, and I just ripped it off. I was very comfortable being naked.
  • Rosanna: I think the most important thing for an artist is to not worry about what anybody else thinks. You just have to do what comes from your heart and your being and put it out there-that's true in any of the arts.
  • Rosanna: I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me.
  • Rosanna: I have buck teeth. I sucked my thumb until I was 11... and then I went on to suck other things.
  • Rosanna: I do resent that when you're in the most cool, powerful time of your life, which is your 40s, you're put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they're older. So it's a drag that we're not allowed to age.
  • Rosanna: Fortunately, we have a lot of really smart women in the business.
  • Rosanna: Criticism really used to hurt me. Most of these critics are usually frustrated artists, and they criticise other people's art because they can't do it themselves. It's a really disgusting job. They must feel horrible inside.
  • Rosanna: Art is such an important part of our culture.
  • Rosanna: An amazing doctor who's a friend of mine says the muscles between the eyebrows, where they inject Botox, are there to release tension and stress from the liver. When you freeze it, it has no place to go, so you have all these really angry women.
  • Rosanna: I'm a wreck. I get hurt very easily. I don't have a tough shell. I'm so insecure - it's pretty stupid for me to be in this business, isn't it?
  • Rosanna: Never eat a Mars Bar offered to you by Marianne Faithful.
