I loved all that riot-grrl scene and Nation of Ulysses and Bikini Kill and Huggy Bear. I loved it. It was the moment sort of first growing up where bands had stopped looking like roadies.

I don't like labels. I think they conceal more than they reveal, sort of like a bikini.

I don't care how much you're working out; when you go to put on that bikini, you're like, 'Oh no!'

I'm a believer in feeling good in your skin, so I put bikini pics on my Instagram.

I never looked good in a bikini. My legs were too thin.

Oh, how I regret not having worn a bikini for the entire year I was 26. If anyone young is reading this, go, right this minute, put on a bikini, and don't take it off until you're 34.

I'm such a bikini girl. Generally, I like to be as half-naked as I possibly can.

Trying to conceal the fact that I was a gay, effeminate, hyperactive, adopted child with a serious lisp in southern Louisiana would have been like trying to hide Dolly Parton in a string bikini!

I don't mind a bikini bottom.

Before I was a mother, if I'd been photographed in a bikini, I'd have been mortified.

I'm actually most comfortable when I'm in a bikini, running around on the beach, like, no makeup. It's really free-feeling, whereas I'm always having to get dressed up and putting makeup on.

I was terrified. My first week, walking around in a teeny bikini, I kept crossing my arms over my chest because I was afraid I was going to fall out of the top of the suit. And I didn't know anything about technique or lighting.

You know, a balance-sheet is like a bikini, it shows more but it hides what is vital. I learnt to read a balance sheet and then I got fascinated by stocks.

I used to be very shy. When I first started, I had to go to a casting, and I had to go in a bikini. I thought I was too skinny. But I went in and got the job! And that's how I started.

I have no problems exposing to any extent. However when I gave my first bikini shot, it was quite tough facing the public out there.

I was in a band in the '90s called Bikini Kill, and we were so freaked out about documentation then, and there was the whole thing, not just about the male gaze, but that people were going to misrepresent you... a kind fear of the mainstream that a lot of us had.

The cut of the bikini is definitely important. You want to wear one that compliments your body type.

I was waiting for all other actresses to wear a bikini first so I can just follow the bandwagon.
