Everything I do is about women honouring themselves, treating themselves and taking care of themselves.

I try to meditate every morning. It relaxes me, clears my mind, and sets my day off on the right foot before things get too manic.

I feel beautiful when I'm at peace with myself.

I come from a country where you don't wear clothes most of the year. Nudity is the most natural state.

The image is where you have dinner at night, who you're seeing. It's what car you drive and how you dress. People in the industry sell that, and it creates a dream. There's nothing else.

It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.

For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.
