Patrick
Stoner: Cute kitty. .

Pamela
Anderson Lee:
[smiles] Thanks. I love leopards. I just visited a woman who
breeds a combination of leopards and domestic cats -- leopard cats. Tommy
[Pamela's husband] and I just love them. They get to be 15 pounds, but they're
so docile, so loving. We want to get some for our house.
Patrick
Stoner:
Sort of guard cats?
Pamela
Anderson Lee:
[laughs] Sort of. But they're so beautiful, and they're
domesticated. They're cats, but they have the marking of leopards. WeUre going
to get a couple of them.
Patrick
Stoner:
OK--to work: You're on the TV show that is the most-watched series
in the world [Baywatch]. What did you learn about the difference
between doing a hit TV show and a film?
Pamela
Anderson Lee: Doing a film is consuming. I worked 18 hours a day. On Baywatch.
I would work from sunup to sundown, but we shot a week's show in four days. We
shot Barb Wire for four months. It was grueling, going from one to the
other.
Interview
with The Sky Magazine
Will Barb Wire prove to
people that there's more to Pamela Anderson than her chest?
I think people will be surprised because Barb Wire is a far cry from CJ on
Baywatch. I don't think anyone's going to be robbing my house anytime soon!
What about all these
stories we read about your private life?
Well, you're from England so you must have read all those terrible tabloid
stories. Stories there are so sensational that there's really nothing you can
do except laugh. I've seen a few of them myself and I was like: "WHAAT?"
I hope people get a good laugh out of that tabloid stuff, because they've go
to know it's not true.
How much of the real
Pamela Anderson do we see?
There's no way I set out to be a certain kind of symbol -- the way I dress is
the way I am, is the way I live my life. I'm not trying to be anything that
I'm not. I enjoy what I do. I enjoy my life to the fullest, I've always been
like that. My old manager used to say, "You should be doing these kinds
of movies and this kind," and I said, "Who are you talking to?"
I'm lucky to do any movie. At this point in my career, this is just a great
opportunity.
Interview
with E! Online
How do you feel about
everything that has happened with Tommy?
I've learned a lot. And in a way, it looks negative, but it's all
positive. My husband has definitely learned a lot. And, you know, it's all
going to be good in the future...I really believe in fate. I believe I'm
exactly where I'm supposed to be every moment of every day.
Many women who are abused
never have the courage to speak up. Why did you?
You have to do what you have to do. And I have two little children, and I'll
do anything to make sure they're in a loving environment.
It seems motherhood has
really affected you.
I don't take as much crap as I used to. You know, once you give birth, once
you have kids, you realize what's important in life, and you realize it's
really not difficult to be a good person. And so when people aren't good
around me, I tend to move away from that. There are so many good people in the
world, and you want to surround your children with that. I gave birth at home
both times--natural--with a midwife, in water...with nothing.
No anesthesia? No doctor?
Nothing, not even Tylenol.
That was pretty brave.
Brave! Oh, I have huge balls. Yes I do. My brother says that.
