Pamela Anderson doesn't want to be "defined" by other people.
The 'Last Showgirl' actress - who has sons Brandon, 28, and Dylan, 27, with ex-husband Tommy Lee - has made the decision to stop wearing make-up in public and she explained the "experiment" allowed her the chance to be true to herself and find "joy" in her life and work.
She told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "You know, I'm 57 years old. A lot of my career was about physicality, and it's been a journey.
"But it's also been part of the reason why I've kind of done this experiment with myself; just to peel it all back, remember who I am, and not be defined by what people do to me, but defined by what I do, and just to have passion for the work and not become bitter or jaded, still finding joy in the process, in life and in this business."
The former 'Baywatch' star insisted it is important for people to keep believing in themselves and to strive for new challenges outside of their comfort zones.
She said: "Even if people don't believe in you, you have to believe in you and push yourself because it's very easy to pigeonhole somebody - so you have to find reasons to keep blowing people's minds."
Pamela has enjoyed being in her 50s and thinks it is an "inspirational" time.
She said: "I think being a woman in your 50s is inspirational. I've got off all the roller coaster of emotions over the last few decades. I barely even remember them, but here I am, and with all this experience."
The blonde beauty previously admitted her representatives and her sons were unsure about her decision to go make-up free, but their opinions only strengthened her resolve.
She told CR Fashion book: "My agents and even my kids were like, 'Mom, you can’t, you need the glam team!' And I said, 'No, what are you talking about? The fact that you guys are saying that to me makes me not want to do it more! I’m going to do a fresh face, no makeup, not pretend no-makeup.' And I just felt free.
"No one looked at me and went, 'Aggghhhh!'"
