Too many of us feel that we have to be perfect, in order to be loved.

I was anorexic. I was in hell. Now I eat what I want, and I'm still a model. So you see, it works.

I'm very lucky that I have people styling my hair and teaching me how to work with it, but it wasn't always like that. Growing up, I had extremely wavy and thick hair and that can be very overwhelming - you end up with the same ponytail every day.

I believe in trying foods from all over the world, going to markets and finding jewelry and furniture and just treating myself well. It's important for me creatively to travel.

The girls everyone considers the "prettiest" are not always the most interesting or ambitious people.

I have made a choice to listen to myself even if everyone in the entire world doesn't agree with what I think. I know me, at the end of the day and I know what I can handle emotionally and what I can handle physically.

Besides being a model, I'm a human and a woman.
