I love modeling but also see it as a platform for the million other things I want to achieve and create in life.

It doesn't make me very happy to be on my computer all the time. I've never been drawn to that world.

I kind of see clothes a bit like role-playing, depending what mood I'm in.

I don't think of myself as a role model for others, but I like to live my life by my own integrity. So, in that sense, I might be a positive influence. I do believe you should get over your insecurities and just try to be the best you can.

I was of the type who gets bullied rather than the one who does the bullying, which I'm glad about. I'd rather be that than a bully.

I was like most teenagers. I wanted to look more conventional - you know, to just be the pretty girl in school.

People do make assumptions about models. That's their issue, not mine. It doesn't bother me because I'm comfortable enough in my own skin - I know who I am.
