Yoga has reinforced and grounded my own spiritual beliefs.

So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma.

My middle name is Nicole. It's so weird because my mom is from El Salvador, but my sisters and I have Irish names - Christy, Kelly, and Erin. And Christy and Kelly, they're not even girls' names! In Ireland, they're boys' names. And somehow, my mom was in El Salvador dreaming about Shamrocks before we were born.

I love fashion, but I'm not obsessed with it.

I never looked at magazines before I started modeling. I was 13 or 14 and none of my friends were into magazines. We were into the fashion of the day, though. Designer jeans were really popular - Sasson, Gloria Vanderbilt, Calvin Klein, Jordache. Once I started modeling, I began to learn about these things, and magazines helped me to understand who was who.

or those who have one, please use your voice. So many of us don't have that ability.

If you truly want to make an impact on the world, you can and you will.
