Girls of all kinds can be beautiful; from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain-skinned

Take responsiblilty for yourself because no one's going to take responsibility for you.

I wanted to be a film and television writer and producer.

Well, I don't think of myself as a diva. I'm too dorky! Look at my shoes. (Points to the aforementioned sneakers.) I always look like this. I don't always want to be "working."

I think it makes women feel better to find fault with other women. I do that, too.

Because my hands are rough and wrinkley, they are my least favourite feature. An ex-boyfriend used to call them 'Freddy Kreuger' fingers.

I'm a big fan of Lady Gaga. I think she's kinda what modeling is about in a way: Unique-ness, different-ness, edginess, quirkiness is actually special and I think her message is - I wouldn't say it's exactly like my message - but there are similarities in embracing your uniqueness. When she talks about being born this way, I really think she's absolutely fabulous.
