Sharon Stone is featured in the new Harper's Bazaar, and the interview is making headlines for a slew of reasons:
- She poses nude, at age 57, and is utterly unfazed by it. ("If I believed that sexy was trying to be who I was when I did Basic Instinct, then we'd all be having a hard day today.")
- She opens up about her brain hemorrhage in 2001 and the lingering effects she still feels. On the upside, "I became more emotionally intelligent. ... And I can be abrasively direct. That scares people, but I think that's not my problem. It's like, I have brain damage; you'll just have to deal with it."
- She says her love life is in sad shape. "I never get asked out," she says. "It's so stupid. I don't know what to do." As the interview ends, she grabs the reporter's tape recorder: "If there's anybody out there who's an adult and who would like to ask me out, please call Harper's Bazaar."
