All I want to do is model. The reason I'm coming back is for the same reasons that I became a model initially. It's about the clothes and the creation of great pictures. I thought I was old and that I earned my retirement, and enough! It's not enough. I want more. And I'm lucky that I still have that option.

I love, love, love fashion so much. That's why I became a model in the first place.

I have to get off the Internet. It's so unhealthy for me. I do see what they post about me, and it's not always positive. They're mean - though there are some lovely ones. I'm so tempted to post something, but I haven't done it yet.

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

I won't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.

I love everything about fashion. I even love the fittings and watching it evolve from a pattern to a muslin to the final product.

One of the reasons I wanted to come back is I got sick of seeing really ugly pictures of myself in the tabloids. I got to the point where I'd look in the mirror and say: "Where'd she go? Because she's still in there." I knew she was still in there (she laughs) and it didn't take much to get her out.
