Modeling is the world that I feel most welcome in.

Eight shows a week is daunting, and it can be terrifying. But it just instills such a sense of confidence and growth.

I think I'm going to have to live vicariously through my daughter's rebellion because I certainly never did go through adolescence.

I took my work seriously, but not as a craft. More as a life.

Guys think that if a girl is pretty, she's automatically going to say no. Most of the guy's I've gone out with, I've had to make it completely obvious that I'd like them to ask me out. Or, I've had to ask them.

It was my mom and I against the world. We lived in New York in this bohemian lifestyle where an extended group of artists and photographers were like my aunts and uncles.

I have never been skinny. The thing is, I was in an industry where being athletic was not celebrated. I have friends who are supermodels, and I never had that body. I've never been asked to walk in a Versace show. I was doing the covers of the magazines while they were cruising the clothes down the runway, and then they'd bring me the clothes and I'd have to photograph them.
