I disapprove of lots of decisions made by George Bush: the war, the meddling in the affairs of other countries, the conversations with dictators; it was a dark time.

American style is about confidence, independence, diversity and free expression.

I saw my future. I pictured it, but didn't quite know how to get there. But I knew that I should never give up.

My mother inspired me to treat others as I would want to be treated regardless of age, race or financial status.

I consider myself to be respectful, and I believe this is a main value for sports.

One of the most important things to me is to make things real, not have models who are perfectly groomed or clothes that are too perfect. It all has to have a twist because that's how people live.

The possibilities are endless, so never be discouraged by a setback, no matter how big.
