Modeling chose me, I didn't choose modeling.

Don't chase the money... chase the passion. Because that's what is going to keep you happy and motivated and jumping out of that bed Monday morning.

I kind of like the wind in my face. If it wasn’t there, I don’t know if I would push as hard.

I went from being very popular and the head of the clique in the sixth grade to having, like, kid depression in the seventh grade. Not leaving the house. Not looking people in the eye... My body made me feel bad at everything.

Designers are very fickle. I never wanted to be a victim of that. You're in one minute, out the next.

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.

One thing my mom used to tell me was to look to the other side, and know that my present is not going to be everything. So if I'm having a bad day, she goes, 'Just imagine tomorrow. This is going to be over. This is going to be done with.'

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

It was really hurtful to me. I get so much mail from young girls who say, 'I look up to you, you're not as skinny as everyone else, I think you're beautiful.' So when they say that my body is 'ugly' and 'disgusting,' what does that make those girls feel like?

I don't like the label 'plus-size' -- I call it 'fiercely real.' On 'Top Model,' we call it fiercely real. I don't want to use the term 'plus-size,' because, to me, what the hell is that? It just doesn't have a positive connotation to it. I tend to not use it.

Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies.

I talked about adopting a baby when I was 20 years old, before it became 'hip.'

Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It's about accepting all of yourself.

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.
