(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Pamela Anderson wishes people would engage in more "cultured" conversations with her.

The American actress-and-model is famed for her sultry beauty and numerous Playboy magazine shoots.

Pamela is admired for her sexy aesthetic rather than her intellectual views, and the 44-year-old star wishes that would change.

"I'd ask the questions I never get asked my political views, views on art, culture, the world. Poignant writers. Global issues that I have strong opinions about," she mused in an interview with the UK edition of OK! magazine. "We'll get there."

Pamela has given her opinions on the Hollywood stars of the future. The stunning star gravitates towards more complicated characters.

"There are major stars who are huge Hollywood icons it seems," she explained. "Not like the old days, it's much more complicated.

"I personally love artists that venture down twisted paths, Joaquin Phoenix, Sean Penn..."

Pamela was compelled to carve a successful career in showbusiness. The blonde beauty loves to take risks, and believes her forceful nature has led her to where she is now.

"I knew I had to do something different. Be brave and bold and move from where I was," she said.

"Life is performance art. Risks and rewards. I've always just gone with the flow. Faith is a vehicle." (C) Cover Media
