motivation inspiration insecure
[Models] have the thinnest thighs and the shiniest hair and the coolest clothes, and they're the most physically insecure women probably on the planet.
gave good might
When I gave a talk at TEDx, I thought that if I did a good job, the video might go viral.
entertain million
Once you are a model, you do have to fly a million red-eye flights, and you do have to entertain a different client every single day.
content great lately twitter
Lately I've been feeling like 50 percent of the great content I read comes from Twitter conversations.
opportunity
If someone has the opportunity to become a model, I would say, 'Do it.'
consciousness magazines mum
My mum never told me that I was beautiful when I was a kid - and I didn't read magazines or watch MTV, so I had no real consciousness about it all.
academic becoming model
Becoming a model was very counter-culture for my background, which is hyper-liberal, academic and feminist.
ted work
I haven't done the profoundly impactful work many TED speakers have.
desire highlight needed quite together work
If I ever had needed to put together a CV, it would be quite short. Like many young people, I'd highlight my desire to work hard.
counted four less models per university york
In 2007, a very inspired New York University Ph.D. student counted all the models on the runway, every single one that was hired, and of the 677 models that were hired, only 27, or less than four per cent, were non-white.
I do have too many eight-inch heels which I never get to wear.
change phone rise stories
The rise of the Internet and the camera phone have started to change what stories are accessible.
impact looks superficial
How we look - though it is superficial and immutable - has a huge impact on our lives.
high last
My last two years of high school, I think I went to Burger King every day for lunch.
