My first really big job was an advertorial for Italian Vogue. I cried on set because I didn't know what to do. That was two weeks after being in Milan for the very first time. I think I had one or two test shoots there.

In order for me to parent well I have to empathize and stay open with my son.

I don't even know what would have happened to me had I not become a model. I don't know if I would have gotten out of Oklahoma. I was so young when things started happening for me and I realized I could make a living.

Women can be strong, be smart, be sexy, be mothers, be wives, and be powerful. We don't need to compromise.

We are quite small in the big scheme of things.

After the first summer modeling, I came home with almost as much money as my mom made in a year - after being away for about two months. I just decided to give it a shot, and if it didn't work, I was going to go to college.

I don't really want to control anyone, to be honest.
