My body has changed and it will continue change in the future — that is natural for anyone. What matters to me most is that even though external change is inevitable, my passion for encouraging women to love themselves at any size and to live, thrive, and to go after their dreams is a part of my permanent nature. Even though my body and mind may evolve through life and experience, my values on this matter have not.

We women are a lot more powerful if we see ourselves as fighters on the same side. But it’s easier to judge others - their choices and their bodies - than to think about the struggles we share.

I want to be an actress when I'm on set, not just a model. Those are the moments I live for.

I am a good model because I have mastered my craft. I have accepted my body, I know it well and I know how to move in front of the camera.

Focus and having energy is the most important goal when choosing my activities and how I treat myself.

Models should just be beautiful women who inspire others. They won't be starving themselves because they are being accepted for themselves. Any thinner than today's ideals would be impossible. Any thinner means dead.

All women bring something different to the table and we have to appreciate them all.
