This is a little short notice, but Jessica is currently on the cover of the June 2008 issue of ‘Allure’ — the cover is absolutely gorgeous! — scans shall, hopefully, be added a.s.a.p. as the issue is apparently on newsstands now. Be sure to buy it. Select quotes from the interview, courtesy of People.com are posted below.

On Her Steamy Public Image: “[Hollywood] always play[s] up your sexuality, because that’s what gets men into the theaters. And I never really gave a s— about all that stuff! It’s nothing to be ashamed of. But it is definitely not what I am about by any means!”

On Owning Her Sexuality: “I don’t think I was comfortable with my sexuality until I was an adult, probably, like, 22 – that’s when I stopped apologizing and stopped feeling ashamed. I did the Vagina Monologues in L.A. That made me proud.”

On Sex Before Marriage: “I never believed women had to be virgins when they got married, or that a woman has to fall in love with a guy just because they’re having sex. I don’t think sex is a big deal. I hated the hypocrisy of it. Men can do whatever, and it’s acceptable.”

I’ve also added the behind-the-scenes images to the gallery; previews and gallery link are below, but be sure to check out the slide show on the website; there are some fantastic quotes accompanying the images from over the years.
