Quote

I go feminine, I go masculine. I am both, actually. I think the male side is a bit stronger in me, and I have to tone it down sometimes. I'm not like a normal woman, that's for sure.

When I started modelling, I'd raise my arms and it was all muscle and all the other models had nothing. Really, everybody thought I was a man. I don't have to do much to have muscles. It's just genetic.

I was skinny as a rail and had high cheekbones and a very interesting face - or so I was told.

I have just as much woman in me as I have man. It's just a matter of channeling the energy into which way you use it.
