Janice Dickinson
Janice Doreen Dickinson is an American model, photographer, author and talent agent. Initially notable as a model, she has been disputably described by herself and others as the first supermodel. One of the most successful models throughout the 1970s and 1980s, she expanded her profession to reality television in 2003 by judging for four cycles on America's Next Top Model. She subsequently opened her own modeling agency in 2005, which was documented in the reality-television series The Janice Dickinson Modeling...

In my day, I, being the first supermodel, I hawked everything.
And I will never, ever respond to anybody - man, woman, vegetable, or mineral - who tells me to keep my mouth shut.
My first job was for a blue jean company as a sitting model. I posed for 15 minutes and made $50. It was 1976.
The past explains how I got here, but the future is up to me -and I love to live life at full throttle.
Phil Spector is probably a better date than Roman Polanski.
I'm not a good person to have as an enemy; say nice things about me.
I'm addicted to cosmetic surgery!
I was Versace's muse, I was Valentino's muse, I was Alaia's muse, Lancetti's muse, Calvin Klein's, Halston's. I could go on and on.
This alpha dog is not going to take it lying down next time.
If you think I'm over-the-top, I am.
I had to fight like hell to convince people I was beautiful in my own Polish half-breed way.
I grew up in an abusive home and was told on a daily basis by my father that I would never amount to anything and that I looked like a boy.
I can only speak from my own personal experience, being behind the camera and in front of it, but every magazine cover you see is completely airbrushed.
I can wrap my legs around my neck.
