When I was about 15... I made my first attempt as a leading lady, and was, of course, a complete failure.
I thought I was an odd person, and since my hometown had only about 70,000 people in it, I knew I was going to have to leave there and go out and find other odd people.
I never really wanted to be a model. But when the opportunity came, I grabbed it.
You may shelve your Shakespearian plans for the present. I am going to play Peter Pan.
If I have smashed the traditions, it was because I knew no traditions.
I think most models, when they start out, are insecure. And you become the focus of a lot of people's attention, so outside validation becomes too important.
