Krista: I put a lot of faith in dreams. I know that big movie roles and opportunities are going to happen. And maybe some girl who is just starting out will do an interview in Stuff and say, “I want to fuck Krista Allen.”
Krista: (on separating fact from fiction) I want to clear up a few myths about myself. People have written that I was a kindergarten teacher and a former Miss Texas, and neither is true. I once thought I might want to teach, but that’s about it! I never actually taught. And as far as the other thing, I’ve never even been in a beauty pageant of any kind. I don’t know how these things get started. I just didn’t know what the heck I wanted to do with my life, so I drove out to California and got really lucky.
Krista: There’s something about Southern men. I don’t know what it is.
Krista: I guess I’m just the kind of character who decides, 'Hey, it’s hot. I’m at a party and I want to swim, so I think I’ll just take off all my clothes'.
Krista: (on getting lucky) I basically left Texas with no money. I was making $3.50 working in some mall, so I didn’t have a lot of cash. I took $1,000 and headed to California. Along the way I stopped in Vegas because I had always wanted to see Caesar’s Palace. So I stopped there and won $2,500 on a slot machine! It was amazing. I thought to myself, 'I must be going in the right direction! I’m just gonna keep heading that way.' That’s a true story.
Krista: (on fan encounters) Well, the main difference between a Baywatch fan and an X-Files fan is that an X-Files fan would watch the show with the volume up. Luckily, though, I’ve never had a run-in with a crazy fan. But sometimes I get weird things mailed to me. The other day someone sent me a picture of their entire family and asked if I’d buy them a house! I have no idea why they thought I could save them. ‘Um, I’m still renting. I’ll get back to you in a couple of years.’
Krista: I don't ever really notice when guys are hitting on me. I'm oblivious. It seems a little self-involved to be like, 'Oh, he's hitting on me.' Maybe he's just trying to start up an innocent conversation.
Reporter: If there were any woman on the planet who could attract you, who would it be? Krista: It would have to be Angelina Jolie: She’s exquisite. Sharon Stone is pretty hot, too. Angelina seems really cool as a person. I love that she’s not hiding anything.
Krista: One of my ex-boyfriends did a nude photo shoot of me once, around 1991. The pictures were great — very hilarious and sexy — and because it was my boyfriend taking them, they were great and cool, because I could do anything. He isn’t that kind of person, but if they showed up on the Internet or something, I’d do something mean to him, like broadcast my video collection.
Reporter: What’s the raciest adult toy you’ve ever bought? Krista: A boyfriend bought me remote-controlled, battery-operated panties. You’re having a lovely dinner, and suddenly he pushes a button and it stimulates certain areas, and you’re like, “Yeah!” I still prefer basic sex with someone that you’re crazy about — rolling all around. The messier, the better.
Krista: I’m amazingly impatient. I moved here, never having acted before, and within two weeks, I was working — but for those two weeks, I was jumping out of my skin. What would I have done if it hadn’t happened for me? Become a mass murderer or something. I also procrastinate. I bought The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Overcoming Procrastination, read the first page and put it down. I’ll finish it later.
Krista: (if she could be a man, who would she choose?) Mike Myers. He’s so sexy because he’s so talented. I’d like to be in his mind when he writes, to find out what makes him tick. Whoops! I’m imagining Mike Myers naked right now, and that’s just making me stop. I think I’d better stay with his analytical mind.
Krista: (on bad pickup lines) The other day, this guy followed me after I’d gotten a cup of coffee, and I crossed the street to a newsstand to look at magazines. He came up to me and said, “So, why are you getting a magazine?” I said, trying to keep a straight face, “Because I like to read them when I take a shit.” He was so taken aback that he didn’t know what to say, and when he walked away, I couldn’t hold back my laugh anymore. I’m not normally that abrupt. If I don’t want to talk, I’m more dismissive.
Krista: At a pool party, with everybody around, a guy and I had sex in the pool, but nobody knew it.
