I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready, I think I would have rather been watching.

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

It was God who made me so beautiful. If I weren't, then I'd be a teacher.

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

I don't happen to think magazines should be full of thin people. What I do say is that we can all work a little harder with what we have. It is possible to achieve a better body shape and heart rate with nutrition and exercise.

When I started in the business, I was told I had three good years in me.
