I went to America on holiday when I was 17 and, before I knew it, I'd been signed up by an agency and had these obligations I didn't understand, but which I couldn't say no to. This industry chose me. But I did choose to make it fulfilling.

But I do know focusing on the exterior doesn't make me happy. If I want peace and serenity, it won't be reached by getting thinner or fatter.

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.

You have nothing to sell except for the image: The image is everything.

I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of being tall.

I don't look at myself in the mirror. I'll flash past a mirror in the morning to check how I'm dressed, that's it.

I wanted so badly to study ballet, but it was really all about wearing the tutu.
