Welcome back, Petta. Word on the street is that you’re fixated on body and mind.

True. I work so hard to keep my body—my temple—healthy and fit. And I am always studying something to enrich my life and mind.

Is body image the reason you’re happy to show us your amazing physique?

Yeah, I find it quite liberating being a woman who is able to show her body, especially because I’ve always been a fanatic lover of the female form. I knew I wanted to be a model when I grew up, and I knew I would love body modelling. Knowing that people get pleasure admiring my body is amazing.

And when you said earlier that you’re always studying something, were you speaking literally or ‘school of life’ stuff…?

Well, I did study Film and Media at UTS [University of Technology Sydney], but what I’m really talking about is the fact I’ve spent 10 years travelling the world absorbing food, culture, religion and lifestyles.

You spent time working and studying acting in America, didn’t you?

Yeah, I lived in Hollywood and studied acting, so I was constantly brushing shoulders with big actors. One encounter I had ended with me going back to Leonardo DiCaprio’s house in Malibu. We stayed up playing video games all night.

We’ve been told there might be a story involving Steve Buscemi.

I was in [the movie] Armageddon. I played Steve Buscemi’s girlfriend in a scene in Vegas. It was shot in downtown LA. He seemed like a really nice guy, only to ask me to go back to his hotel. It was then when I had a different impression of him. I wished it was Ben Affleck who had asked me.

What else happened in Vegas?

There were always lots of rock stars coming into town for concerts, and one night I found myself in the penthouse partying with the Rolling Stones, Pamela Anderson and Mick Jagger.

Life sounds like a blast if your name is Petta.

Every day in my life is a new adventure. I am one of those people who is just high on life.
