Iโm elated. I guess itโs better late than never. Welcome to the 21st century. Itโs fantastic. I love Dior, and Rihanna is very much one of my style icons. Iโm happy they got there in the end. I adore her style. She loves fashion, sheโs unafraid. She uses her imagination, which is something we should all strive to do.

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.

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.
