Modeling was another job like some of the other ones I had. Working as a cashier, I delivered newspapers, I worked in a retirement home feeding elderly people. . . so I never stopped and thought about, boy, I'm a successful model.
There are a lot of good arguments for birth control, but as far as terminating a life that has already come into existence, I haven't found any.
I'm a curious person. I like to ask questions. Well, why? People would say, it's never been done. It's never been done does not mean that it can't be done.
I know that I've been blessed in many ways, and I was fortunate enough to travel the world and meet a lot of interesting people. But I never felt that the modeling career was all that important.
It's important to find one that complements your body and not try to fit into something that doesn't work.

In business it's about people. It's about relationships.
When I used to model, the job description is 'shut up and pose.' There are people today who would really like me to go back to that old job description and 'just shut up and pose.
I won't give up my day job of design.
I was not making enough time to take care of me.
