I learnt just how little it takes to survive, which is why I don’t waste things – food, money, friendships or opportunities.

I wore hot pants and cowboy boots and I thought, 'What have I gotten myself into?'

When it’s all said and done I would like to look back and think that I help to make modelling a possibility for a greater number of people. I don’t do things that I will regret in the future. I tend to err on the side of caution. Not to mention the fact that the present world I reside in would not have been possible without my past. I am most proud of being able to represent my family and community with honour and dignity.

A lot of people especially want to know about going into business. But it's a two-way conversation.

My boyfriend isn't a rock star. His values are rock solid. We met at a dinner and he made me laugh.

Pressure only makes you sick. You won't get anything positive out of it.

I think I enjoy London the best as it's where I started my career. But Paris is beautiful too.
