I don't like expensive things... I just can't help looking in a magazine for the splurge and the save.

I don't like looking at awards everyday because I feel like they can make you lazy. So, I give them to my Mom and let her look at it everyday. They are symbols of the hard work she put into me. Her sacrifices allowed me and my team to win those awards. But I don't look at any awards everyday.

In terms of success and drive, I think some people are born with it, sometimes certain circumstances push you towards success... trying to prove people wrong. I'm not exactly sure where mine comes from, but, I have this thing inside of me that, when someone tells me that I can't do something, I become obsessed with proving them wrong. It's a weird thing.

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

Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic women. Why can't we just be the sexy American girl next door?

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

I want to be like the athletes who seem stuck in time. When you see them at 50, you say they probably can still run like a champ.
