I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person, which makes me a better mom.

I don't want my daughter to think she has to deprive herself to be pretty...It's all about balance and I can teach that best by living it.

I'm all-American. Sexy but not intimidating. Not the kind of woman who's going to steal someone's husband.

How many girls, models or not, are secure about their bodies? I think I'm more realistic about what to expect of myself now. I also have a lot of other things than modeling going on in my life that I'm proud of.

Modeling is about illusion. It's a fantasy world where models play various roles. By featuring extreme looks, magazines show women how to have fun with makeup and clothes, and to inspire them to experiment - just like we did when we were little girls.

Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.

I just find that each year I try something new. You can't fight the march of time. To balance that out, each year you should develop one more good habit. It levels the playing field.
