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...

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.
Reinvention is the key to surviving this fashion industry. Madonna is the perfect example of reinvention. She has taken something that is so little and turned herself into a legend by simply never staying the same.
As the saying goes, I want to be the best-looking corpse there is.
I've been on the cover of every magazine in the world,
Self-help books are for the birds. Self-help groups are where it's at.
People identify with me - everyone does - African American women, Caucasian women, they all identify with me because I'm ethnic.
I was hot and I knew it and it went to my head.
I'm a former bulimic myself and it's a horrible, horrible addiction.
Without gay men, I am nothing.
Follow sound business trends, not fashion trends.
I was lusted after walking down the streets of New York.
I have to wake up and drink chamomile tea to slow down.
