Beautiful actress and cover model Amy Weber is famed for her toned physique shown on various magazine covers and such TV shows as “CSI”, “Seventh Heaven”, “Melrose Place”, “Silk Stalkings”, MTV’s “Undressed”, “Port Charles”, and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno”. Co-stars like Dylan McDermott, David Spade, Sean Penn, Pauly Shore, Adam Corolla, and Freddie Prinze, Jr. can attest to her easygoing nature. She has just completed filming on “The Pumpkin Carver” in which she stars and serves as associate producer. In the upcoming “Portrait Of Eve”, Amy will showcase not only her famous face and body but also her singing talents. This dark-haired beauty hosted the 2004 Lingerie Bowl, a reality show called “Getaway” for UPN and the USA Network series called “Tens”. A native of Peoria, Ill., her family moved to Ocala, Fla. when she was a high school freshman. She studied psychology at the University of Central Florida in Orlando but decided to quit and moved to Los Angeles to pursue her acting dreams. A success in that endeavor, her career remains in full swing. She plans to cut an album one day and has been writing fitness and nutrition columns for a number of magazines, as well as her first book. She’s also promoting her improved website, www.amyweber.net, and her own modeling agency. Savvy: You’ve been on a lot of magazine covers. Any funny or scary stories you can share with us?
Amy: I’ve run into some freaky photographers. They ask you to do the most ridiculous things and you can only laugh about it. I had to walk home from a location shoot once because I had ridden out there with the freaky photographer. It doesn’t matter to me if a photographer is male or female as long as they respect me.
Savvy: Do you prefer acting over modeling?
Amy: I love acting. Modeling is fun but is sometimes mindless. I guess it was quite a big break when I got my SAG card. It was one month after I had moved to Los Angeles. That sort of started everything. Five years from now, I hope to be working as an actress still and producing more movies. I hope my agency will be one of the top agencies in Los Angeles at that point.
Savvy: Anything about rich and famous that sucks?
Amy: Loss of anonymity is really the one pitfall. The benefits are all of the free things that people give you! If I wasn’t an actress and model, I would probably be a doctor or a psychiatrist right now.
Savvy: Oh, I’d love for you to be my shrink. Besides looking hot, do you have any other talents?
Amy: (Laughs) Hot? That word is so weird. I think I clean up alright but hot is funny. I sing and I own an investment company as well that buys real estate and then the agency. Business is also a strong suit of mine as well as producing movies.
Savvy: Since you’ve traveled all over the world, where are your favorite places?
Amy: I loved Prague. It was such an old city and the people there were amazing and so sweet. Back when I was shooting for Venus Swimwear, those trips were great! All of the girls were fun and we would always go and eat dinner after we were done for the day and poke fun at each other. The locations were amazing! My home is in Los Angeles. I love the weather here. Some people enjoy humidity, but I like the dryness. L.A. is amazing! There is nothing that you cannot do or have here!
Savvy: Nothing I cannot do or have, eh?
Amy: Except that.
Savvy: (Laughs) You have an exotic look. What’s your family background?
Amy: I’m German/Hungarian, Scotch-Irish and Native American.
Savvy: Cool. Were you born with a silver spoon?
Amy: We are totally middle class. My dad was a construction worker and also worked on cars. My mom is a mail lady.
Savvy: Did mom push you into pageants or anything when you were a kid?Amy: Ah yeah. My mom put me in a couple of those things. (Laughs) Awful, just awful!
Savvy: Judging from your body, I can picture you being athletic, maybe a tomboy. How do you stay so – there’s that word again – hot?
Amy: Every girl says this but I was a tomboy. I raced motorcycles and climbed trees. I was such a boy, and then I finally started the whole chick thing with cheerleading and stuff. It was much easier being boyish! Today, I work out three to four days a week. I would love to work out more, but time is so hard to come by nowadays. I lift weights because I like the tone, and I know that muscle burns more calories, but cardio is my secret. I always mix it up. Your body gets used to certain things so you have to change it up.
Savvy: You say being boyish is easier. Ever wish you were a guy?
Amy: I get sick of being a woman but still wouldn’t trade it. I don’t make excuses for myself so being a woman has not restricted me at all.
Savvy: What’s something guys just don’t get about women?
Amy: Men don’t understand that sometimes we just need a sympathetic ear. They want to fix things. Men and women are so different and yet we have the same objectives. We just go about getting them in different ways. We both really want love and stability.
Savvy: Sometimes women say one thing but mean the opposite. Like the so-
called “nice guys” that they reject for bad boys.
Amy: You have to love yourself before you can allow someone else to love you. Most people haven’t taken care of their baggage before they get into a committed relationship, so they are looking for that father figure or they don’t truly feel as though they deserve a great guy. They self-sabotage themselves and get involved with not-so-nice guys.
Savvy: Have you ever physically fought another girl or beaten up a dude?
Amy: Both unfortunately.
Savvy: Oh, do tell!
Amy: In high school, this girl pushed me because her boyfriend was looking at me earlier in the day. A guy because he tried to hit me first so I broke his nose. It was self-defense. My dad raised me to take care of myself.
Savvy: Sounds like it. Ever felt like you might have to slug out someone on a photo shoot? Perhaps a producer or photographer who wanted to rent your body for some gratification in exchange for helping you in your career?
Amy: Yeah. It was pretty uncomfortable. And I can look back on it now and laugh! The guy was quite famous at the time.
Savvy: Who? Who?
Amy: No, I won’t say.
Savvy: Okay then. I read where you battled cancer. Pretty heavy stuff.
Amy: It was cervical cancer. My mom took a drug that caused cancer in hundreds of babies once they grew up. They have now taken that drug off the market.
Savvy: Glad you’re all better. Can you give guys some advice on approaching beautiful women?
Amy: It is not really anything that they do. You either feel a connection or you don’t. Just be yourself. Just trust that the girl for you is out there. If you go out with a girl and it doesn’t work out, you aren’t any worse off than you were before you went out with her. Don’t live your life based in fear. Playing games or pretending to be someone you aren’t isn’t good. Eventually, you will be found out. You may as well just be who you are. It saves everyone a lot of time and heartache.
Savvy: Remember any good pickup lines?
Amy: Pickup lines are silly and unnecessary. I’ve asked guys out but not in a normal manner. I probably say “I would like to spend time with you or get to know you”.
Savvy: What kind of guy attracts you?
Amy: I love a man’s arms if they are strong. You feel as though they can take care of you. I like guys with dark hair and someone who doesn’t take himself too seriously. I’m not big on body hair. Get rid of it.
Savvy: Yes, maam! How do you know you’re in love?
Amy: When all I can think about is that person and the mere thought of them makes me light up.
Savvy: Ever dated any celebrities.
Amy: Yes. And I prefer to keep it private.
Savvy: Ah, rats! Do you feel pressure to be perfect-looking all the time?
Amy: I dated a guy for a while who seemed to only be into me when I was all dolled up. It was too much pressure. I have to be able to do the ponytail thing sometimes! Most of the time I am just jeans and tank tops and no makeup. I usually wear boy’s pajama bottoms and a wife beater or lingerie or nothing.
Savvy: Yummy. Are you a spiritual or superstitious person?
Amy: I believe in signs. I believe that we ignore them. I also believe in karma. As far as dating, a guy’s religion doesn’t matter to me as long as he isn’t an atheist. I do believe in soul mates, and yes, I have had one. Couples both get along and respect each other or they don’t. I would never marry for any reason except true love.
Savvy: Before we get too far into this interview, I know you wanted to specifically promote your Web site and your modeling agency in this article. Tell us more.
Amy: I finally took my Web site and got away from the network that I was in. I am on my own and the site has a whole new look. The members now have a chance to have a more personal relationship with me, which I never had before. I also know that there are too many Web sites that have false into on me and really old stolen photos. I am in control now! I also own a modeling agency called Beauty Models. The Web site for it is beautymodelsla.com and I am really proud of it!
Savvy: Anything else you want to pitch to our readers?
Amy: I have a film that is a labor of love. It is called “Pumpkin Karver” and we are still trying to get it finished.
Savvy: Can a professional woman like yourself really have a committed relationship and stay so busy with your career?
Amy: I love committed relationships. It is not so much of what a woman does but who she should become. That is a whole person of her own. Someone who likes who she is and can be alone with herself. Someone should add to your life, not complete you. You aren’t broken.
Savvy: Thanks, but I know some women who might disagree. Let’s talk about some sexy stuff now. Is that okay?
Amy: Sure.
Savvy: Do you think, from personal experience or from talking to girlfriends, that a lot of guys don’t know how to satisfy a woman orally?
Amy: Yes, they don’t. (Laughs) It’s better to just ask your partner what he or she wants.
Savvy: He or she? Ever swung both ways?
Amy: Women are beautiful and I have been to strip clubs. They are harmless. But as far as wanting another girl sexually, I like the opposite team too much.
Savvy: Ever faked an orgasm just to get a guy off of you?
Amy: A woman should never fake an orgasm. It rewards bad behavior, and then your partner thinks that this is a good thing to do and he will continue to do it.
Savvy: Ever gotten it on with someone you just met? Say… a writer for a Web site perhaps?
Amy: (Laughs) I haven’t. I don’t think that I could handle the mental part of it, but it’s just a physical connection.
Savvy: Did your parents teach you about sex?
Amy: No! My parents never talked about it. I think my friends talked about it the most. I was pretty stupid about the whole thing.
Savvy: Do you prefer sex in the morning or just before sleep?
Amy: Day or night, as long as it is happening!
Savvy: How hard do you make a guy work before he gets some booty?
Amy: I wait until I know that he’s for real. You kind of instinctively know.
Savvy: Do you ever watch dirty movies? Ever learn anything?
Amy: Masturbation is healthy.
Savvy: When you are posing sexy for the camera, what’s going through your head?
Amy: I’m usually hungry so I’m thinking about what I want to eat. (Laughs) Sorry, that probably isn’t the answer that you were looking for. I love Coca Cola, Sushi and mashed potatoes. Macaroni and cheese comes in a close second. I love cooking. Cornish Game hens stuffed with homemade cranberry stuffing… That is pretty good.
Savvy: Any regrets about your past?
Amy: People have disappointed me quite a bit. If someone has hurt me, then I usually want them to acknowledge it and apologize. If you keep your eye on what you want, then everything else is a waste of time and you can realize that. But I don’t regret moving to Los Angeles. It was completely worth it.
Savvy: Any advice for a young model who wants to be where you are someday?
Amy: I don’t really think that I have really changed that much. Maybe I am a little smarter when it comes to trusting people, but I have always been independent. My advice to models: Just stay true to who you are! Don’t let people treat you badly. Live each day to the fullest as though it was your last. Tell the people that you care about how important they are to you on a daily basis. Oh, and the L.A. scene is something else. You have to be prepared for it when you go out.
Savvy: Good tips. Thanks for the interview Amy. Good luck on all of your projects!
Amy: Thanks.
