I know this is weird... I am a Black woman and I am not mixed with any Asian blood or Chinese blood at all, but for some reason, as a child, the movie, The Last Emperor, had a serious affect on me. I can't understand why. But there's something that the movie did to me.

I actually don't miss modeling and I think the reason why is because of America's Next Top Model.

From offstage until the moment I walk onstage, I constantly tweak my talk show and 'Top Model', but at the same time, I often leave my private life by the wayside.

You've got to learn to accept the fool in you as well as the part that's got it goin' on.

I would not recommend a teen getting into modeling if they're not solid when it comes to their grades and school. That comes first.

I made my living being 20 or 30 pounds heavier than the average model. And that's where I got famous.

I love being able to go to a store, let's say... a store like Topshop or Zara or maybe even Macy's, depends on what department, and not have to look at the price tag.
