It's interesting to know how much you are worth.
good looks morning next wake wrong
It is very wrong to sleep in your make-up, but when you wake up the next morning, I think it looks very good.
people
It's always fun when people ask you for advice.
peace run women
I want more women to run countries. There'd be more peace on Earth.
arc joan runway
I want to be the Joan of Arc of fashion. I want to be the link between the runway and the real woman.
people giving lacking
There are people who give you the confidence that you're lacking and once you have confidence, you're free and finally you can let out what's inside of you.
beautiful thinking personality
There are certain models who might not be considered beautiful. I think personality is more important than looks.
hate mean thinking
It's very difficult to know when you're crossing the boundary. I hate the word boundary because I never think about it when taking a picture. Very often it doesn't mean anything because it depends on who's looking at the picture more than the content of the picture itself.
beautiful thinking age
I don't have problems with my weight, I don't change weight but I think when you're gaining in age your position has to be beautiful.
past looks imitation
Imitation always stinks. When I take photos, I don't go back. I don't look at the past. I'm always original.
daughter grandmother given
I don't say "oh, I'm a grandmother; I can't wear this anymore." Everything I can't wear I've already given to my daughter.
hate people bores
I hate people who over intellectualize. It bores me deeply.
holiday thinking water
I think it's good that [my granddaughter] here because I lost my parents and now it's great that there's a new generation. And she's taught me new things that I've forgotten. Like, when you're on holiday and see what it's like to see a shell or go into the water for the first time.
beautiful people important
When you have confidence, when you feel loved by people, you can tell them the truth. It's important that I can say the photo isn't beautiful or the photo shoot sucks.
