I got most of my confidence by having a mother who never said "I don't like this or this." It was just, "You've got to love what you have because it is the only body that has been given." I know that is where a lot of my confidence came from.

For me, wearing lingerie isn't about anyone else but me. If I dressed for others I would be a miserable person.

We are lucky to live in a world made up of so many different kinds of people and I am confident in the direction we are going.

There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.

I was the first size 14 model to be featured in an ad in the magazine,I was the first size 14 model on the cover!

I think knowing you're not alone is important. This generation is already better at standing up for themselves, saying, "No! You're not going to treat me like that. My standards are higher." But we can provide more education through stories. Just because someone who is older or with more authority says you have to do something, there's no reason you need to. One good thing is that there are new rules about how old you can be on set - more regulations. I think those are good.

When NYDJ called me and told me that Christie Brinkley was going to be on set with me I freaked out. And when I met Christie, she had a little freak out because she said that her daughter Sailor loved me so much.
