Business is hard, really hard, but it's worth it.

Business fits me best. The only reason I went into modeling originally was to help out my family, because I knew that money gave you freedom.

There's not a hair extension or a makeup artist that can make me feel the way I feel when i give back

Everyone should have enough money to get plastic surgery

When I went to Fashion Week, I was very disappointed by how few women of color were in those shows. I do speak to the younger girls, and I hear them when they say they're not getting the big contracts or into the big shows. So, to sum it up, it seems that whenever we take a couple of steps forward, we take a few more backwards.

There's so much more purpose behind my getting up in the morning. Business is hard, really hard, but it's worth it.

There was a show in which these scientists shared the secrets of the world's oldest living people, people still functioning past 100 years-old. They found that they exercised everyday, they ate in proportion, that they had a social network of family and friends, and that they had some sort of faith. So, that's what I'm doing now, very consciously. Instead of working out three times a week, I do something physical, like a one-hour walk everyday.
