I have this great fear of people - not when I'm on the runway, but backstage. In a room full of people, I really suffer. I sort of go into a tunnel and I feel very removed. I get so tense, I can't swallow, and my heartbeat goes way up. It still happens now, although I'm better at controlling it.

I was having panic attacks. I didn't want to live that way anymore. I was in love and I wanted it to work. I was tired of travelling, tired of the whole scene, just tired. I sat around. I was lazy. I wanted a routine, and I wanted to wake up in the same bed every day, and I got my wish.

I'm part of a team that raises millions of dollars and raises awareness of HIV and AIDS all over the world.

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

I got so sick of my face and the flaws.

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

I like glamour. Not afraid of it.
