I have no choice but to defend the most vulnerable among us.

Modeling was another job like some of the other ones I had. Working as a cashier, I delivered newspapers, I worked in a retirement home feeding elderly people. . . so I never stopped and thought about, boy, I'm a successful model.

I would say my sense of adventure outweighs my grace.

I want to be healthy, to be there for my husband and my kids.

For me the question was, do I want my paycheck to be dependent on how other people think I look?

I have no choice but to defend the most vulnerable among us.

I made the intentional choice to step behind the camera.
