The one thing you learn as you get older is that the body will do what the body wants. All you can do is try to guide it a little.

My worst year. The only thing that I know for a fact now is that if it's really a bad day, then I draw the curtains, and I lay in bed. There is no way of dealing with grief. And I have no idea. This year I had double of them, my mother and my husband. I just take it one day at a time.

The child must come first above all else. And pace yourself every day. There is quite a lot you will have to give up.

Your image as a model is your currency. That's the only thing you've got. No one cares what you look like in real life. Nobody is going to say the make up guy was terrible. They will say, you look awful and let's not book her again.

A self-esteem issue doesn't change whether you're considered beautiful or not because it's about what's inside you.

There's a lot that I haven't put up there since my husband passed away because then it would be grief everyday. I have to fight within myself at times and ask, 'how do I go through the grief and find a light, even a glimmer of it?'

Don't be afraid to walk away from things that are just not right for you.
