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

I have no nationality, no country.

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.

I never dreamt that I would do all the things that I have done. But things just happened to me all the time.

Age is not a taboo in the fashion industry. One should learn what to wear to look good at any age.

I do not really shop. Most of my clothes I make. I dress simply.
