The secret to applying my makeup is that I just put it where it's needed.

My appearance gave me access to a particular kind of world and I'm really grateful for it.

You cannot leave the house to take the garbage out without full-on makeup and your hair done. You have to fight for your man out there.

Finding out I was pretty was a very nice realisation.

I believe in reincarnation of the soul.

When you are at the bottom, you find beauty in such little things, and goodness in such little gestures. When I compare any struggle today to ones that I may have had in my childhood, there is nothing that can bring me down.

When I work as a model, it feels like holiday. Doing a shoot is so light in a way that it's really a good break from being a mother or running a charitable organization and other philanthropic projects that I'm really passionate about.
