When I was modelling, I spent half my life staring at thousands of perfect reflections. It got to a stage where I was losing all sense of reality - so after I quit modelling, I took all the mirrors out of my house.

Women and men grow up with both sexes. Our mothers and fathers mean a lot to us, so it's just a question of finding a balance between their influences. I've found mine. And it tends to be more on the male side. I mean male side the way we understand it in the West.

I would have rebelled against parental authority, no matter what. When I was 15, I started painting my face and making my own clothes.

When I started modelling, I'd raise my arms and it was all muscle and all the other models had nothing. Really, everybody thought I was a man. I don't have to do much to have muscles. It's just genetic.

I've turned down millions of dollars to go on reality TV. It's an absolute no-go.

I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it's up to them to find that quality and let it live.

I can look at a fur and tell if it's good or not.
