Half-caf, double-tall, non fat, whole-milk foam, bone-dry, half-pump mocha, half sugar in the raw, double cup, no lid, capp - to go.
When I started in the business, I was told I had three good years in me.
I don't think age is an ugly process. I think age is a beautiful thing. I love wrinkles. I don't like falling down. If I just wrinkle, I may not touch. If I fall down, I'll lift up.
All I want to do is model. The reason I'm coming back is for the same reasons that I became a model initially. It's about the clothes and the creation of great pictures. I thought I was old and that I earned my retirement, and enough! It's not enough. I want more. And I'm lucky that I still have that option.
I got so sick of my face and the flaws.
I love, love, love fashion so much. That's why I became a model in the first place.
I like glamour. Not afraid of it.
I think I will always have a place. I don't think I have to rule or reign but there's a place for me.
I accept that keeping in shape doesn't come naturally, so I work hard. I hit the gym every day: Pilates, yoga, weights. I used to love wine but I've stopped drinking. I quit smoking and I'll never start again.
There was a time when everyone remembered that stupid thing about me not getting out of bed for less than $10,000 a day. These days, it's far more important to me that I'm part of a team which raises over $1 million a month for Aids. I'm much more proud of that, than that other old quote.
Why would I be embarrassed about being Canadian? I'm very proud. We're just the nicest people. Everyone likes us.
It was God who made me so beautiful. If I weren't, then I'd be a teacher.
I won't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day....
I admired those girls who did Playboy, Sports Illustrated, and Victoria's Secret. I love looking at them too, but I never went in that direction. I just stayed in fashion.
