I would never become a big, big model in the commercial sense because I was such a type; you couldn't use me in everything.

Originally a stylist took terrible dresses and did everything she could to make them wonderful. Now, you create an image. It's much more specialized.

When people ask me about modeling, what it was like, I say, "It was fabulous!" If you can use it in the right way - to travel to meet other people, to learn how to dress, to make some money - I think it's great. But I also think it takes girls. If they don't know how to handle themselves, or if they do it just for a little time and are not successful, then they get terribly depressed about themselves.

I am China, pronounced as Chee-na. And I think it's time the world lets older women age gracefully.

No man has ever paid a single bill in my life - I didn't want it.

A model needs to know how to project herself into the camera.

I wonder if it is harder for a woman who was beautiful to get older or a woman who was never looked at.
