Why do so many guys wish to see Rosario Dawson nude?

Because she's one buff looking actress, that's why. But that doesn't mean the beauty obsesses about her weight.

"I don't understand people starving themselves to look good," Dawson tells the British edition of Elle in its June issue, obviously referring to Nicole Richie. "You might look cute in those jeans for one year of your life, but you might take 10 years off your life if you're not careful. It's not healthy."

Adds the Grindhouse star:

"When I see a woman who is all gaunt and emaciated, I don't think she's beautiful. She reminds me of a Chihuahua that's freezing and shaking all the time. I've never been a size zero in my life. I say if you want to eat the cookie â€" eat the cookie!"

Hear that, Keira Knightley?

Dawson, who recently told People she's been enjoying the single life since splitting with Sex and the City actor Jason Lewis, says women shouldn't compare themselves to famous people:

"Most of the time [celebrities] don't look like that. My pictures get air-brushed. We're in the business of illusion."

Amen, Rosario. We're glad some famous person is making sense these days. It's a nice balance when compared to the words of Kim Kardashian and Haylie Duff.
