I was just confident my work was good.

She was the best model because she not only had perfect facial features, but a great body and wasn't ashamed to show it. It was impossible to take a bad photo of her. Bettie Page was always ready for the camera's eye.

Make the most of what you have and enjoy being female; enjoy being YOU.

I miss Bettie Page. I've been missing her since the last time I photographed her in 1954.

Bettie Page was number one. I have never known another model who had better knowledge of her body or how to work with it to make it look so good. Her skin was perfect, no blemishes. Perfect nose, beautiful straight teeth, and gleaming, shiny black hair that was always in place, always.

I was just confident my work was good.

Though some will try to deny it, I believe that every woman, at some time in her life, has had or will have the desire to pose nude.
