I've found that balance is key. I'm no longer an extremist in any one direction.

I was in a sushi bar and it dawned on me - how could I discriminate between a cow and a fish?

My doctor felt that the main contributing factor was so many years of malnutrition, especially during my formative years, even before I got into modeling.

My parents were both from the East and had moved to San Francisco only so my father could go to law school there.

I had been on this insane diet for almost 17 years to maintain the weight that was demanded of me when I was modeling. My diet was really starvation. I am not naturally that thin.

We come in many different shapes and sizes, and we need to support each other and our differences. Our beauty is in our differences.

You have to find a balance with food in your life - you can't take out food. It can be absolutely terrifying.
