fashion thinking important
I think it's important that there is a change, especially in fashion.
fashion thinking important
I think it's important that there is a change, especially in fashion. I'm pleased to be part of a 'new breed' of models who perhaps don't exactly fit the status quo.
dad dependent fact family matter people since
I think people like to think I'm in some way financially dependent on my family - on my dad - but the fact of the matter is I've been emancipated from my father since I was 14 years old. That's something people don't know or understand.
brother two phones
I have lots of brothers and sisters, two of whom are younger than myself, so I rely on my phone, text messaging or e-mailing to stay in the loop and communicate when I'm away for big chunks of time.
years two eight
I lived in London for eight years and I like to say that I am two parts American and one part British because I lived there for a third of my life
difficult critics screens
It's difficult to see yourself up on screen without being a critic.
strong athletic very-strong
I'm pretty athletic, but I'm not very strong.
teaching racers
I had professional stunt racers teaching me how to drive
looks fit mould
I always thought models had to fit a certain mould. I never thought I had what it takes. I'm too small and my look's pretty weird
dad father thinking

real people giving
Everyone has their own insecurities, regardless of how you look or how people perceive you, but sometimes people give their insecurities too much power. Defining beauty is simply a matter of opinion. For me, real beauty has very little to do with the structure of someone's face or body.
looks different combination
I'm really not that weird. I'm a combination of a lot of different things. Maybe it's just easier to make me look weird than another model who is specifically Caucasian
girl shoes clothes
In modeling, my height was a big challenge to overcome, because I was pretty much the shortest girl on the runway whenever I was doing the catwalk. The clothes didn't fit and the shoes didn't fit. It was an issue, but luckily, it didn't prevent me from working.
funny-inspirational thinking cows
I sometimes think, would I drink the milk from the breast of a woman I don't know? No. So I think, why would I drink it from a cow?
