I had no illusions that my career would be any longer than three years tops.

Why would I be embarrassed about being Canadian? I'm very proud. We're just the nicest people. Everyone likes us.

I know that sometimes the chemistry just isn't there between the model, photographer, hair and make-up. It's nobody's fault and you just have to do better next time.

When I work, it can be a 16-hour day.

Sure, I like my short hair. It also quadrupled my rate. I did get sick of seeing it on everybody, though - every stewardess, every salesclerk, and in every restaurant.

Being a rock star was out of the question. I can't sing.

Half-caf, double-tall, non fat, whole-milk foam, bone-dry, half-pump mocha, half sugar in the raw, double cup, no lid, capp - to go.
