I learned not to go in the sun early on in my career. A tan lasts for a week or two before it fades, and the sun is so damaging—it's not worth it. I put sunscreen on my kids every day before school and before they play outside. They know the routine.

I'm not saying that everyone should swim with sharks, but sometimes you have to jump over your own shadow in order to learn something that you will never forget for the rest of your life. Then you know you can conquer your fears.

Pursue success, long after any sane person would have given up.

Some people are born skinny, and that's just the way it is. You can't point a finger at them and say they're ill or anorexic. It isn't fair to people born that way.

If you love what you do, then you always find the time.

When I came out of school I didn't even think that modeling was a job.

I like doing small parts, because I don't feel I'm that practised in acting. It's like making baby steps towards a bigger goal.
