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

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.

My mom was proud but very hands off. She didn't really know enough about the model industry, and she didn't have the time to stop her life to go chaperone me. I think she trusted me.

In order for me to parent well I have to empathize and stay open with my son. I am also vulnerable when it comes to trying new things, when I don't feel like I completely know what I am doing. Lack of control.

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

Art is for entertainment purposes, but it's also to reflect our dreams, our hopes, the present, the future the past - whether it's good or bad.

It is in the mind and the heart where we meet. It's not the body-the body will change.
