I know how to dress for my body to give off illusions, and I like to teach women about it - it's important for women to have that power and that arsenal... tricks that make you feel good when you walk outside.

I don't want to have to put on that thing - I call it the thing when I have to do my hair, put on the lashes, get dressed up. When I go out for potato chips, I just want to go out looking like myself, which means you will see bad pictures of me. There probably are some out there right now, but it's just part of the life.

In a way, it was my decision not to starve myself that turned me into a supermodel, and later on, a businesswoman.

My mom never taught me to be waiting for some prince on a white horse to swipe me off my feet.

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.

My mother always told me that came first. I started modeling in 11th grade and it was something that I did after school and on the weekends. School is so important and modeling should be treated as an extracurricular activity as opposed to a career until you graduate high school.

I had had an extroverted personality with a lot of friends, but when I lost the weight and grew so tall, I withdrew within myself.
