Her first album was self-titled and she released a single Go-Go Dancer after many delays. The album never took off because of problems with executives. It was remixed and new tracks were added and finally released in July of 1992. Her video had came out in March 1992.

Quotes:
(on not needing to watch any porn to research her role as a porn star in the movie, “I Want Candy”) “I didn’t really need to do any research for the part, like watch lots of porn films. I’ve already seen enough!”
(on keeping in shape) “I do a lot of yoga and aerobics. Plus, you can burn a lot of calories in the bedroom too. I get a lot of guys coming up to me who have bought my striptease DVD and they thank me because their girls have learnt hot to give them amazing lap dances. I eat a lot of junk - while I was in the UK I ate so many Flake chocolate bars! I once had a job dressed as a clown and I had to pop corn in a shoe store. The problem was I ate so much popcorn I got sick. I got paid $4 an hour but was probably eating more than that in popcorn.”
“I’m really into quantum physics. It gives me chills thinking about it. It’s fun.”
(on how her closet with her Hubby is off-limits!) We don’t share closet space!
“Death would be a beautiful place if it looks like Brad Pitt.”
“It’s an honor to be a part of such a legendary group of stars representing Max Factor, such as Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe, … I’m so excited to start working on the campaign.”
“To the victims and people out there, our hearts are going out to them. We’re not forgetting about them.”
“People are surprised at how down-to-earth I am. I like to stay home on Friday nights and listen to ‘The Art of Happiness’ by the Dalai Lama.”
“I’m more attracted to a stronger man rather than a feminine man. Someone who would just throw me down and take control. I love feeling helpless. I definitely like a man who is aggressive and confident.”
“Dancing is my number one love. That was my first goal as a child. I would love to do stage, maybe do Chicago. I love being in front of an audience. It’s so stimulating. I also love to barbecue.”
“I was watching an HBO special the other night on real-life maximum-security-prison guys. I glanced up, and my poster was in quite a few cells. I was screaming ‘Oh, no!”
“Is there a rehab center for Coke drinkers? I drink six to eight cans a day. Her husband is Dave Navarro, from the band “Jane’s Addiction”. Has appeared in Playboy magazine multiple times, and is one of the most famous models/actresses today. Was married for a very short time to Dennis Rodman ”
