I think we should be unapologetic that we excel - and look beautiful while doing it.
I went through an obsession with eyebrows. I used to paint my eyebrows really, really strong. I look back now, and some were a little bit strong.
Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner have the exact same eyes.
I think of dystopian as 'Mad Max,' as 'Book of Eli,' as the world is ending.
I would love for models to be protected by a guild.
I would love to do Rihanna's makeup. I love her cupid's bow!
I'm so simple. If I don't have groceries, I eat popcorn and Tang for dinner.
I went to school for me - I didn't do it to make any sort of statement. So the very first year I was in school, I wasn't there under my own name. It was very incognito.
I think the rise of Asian models is an absolutely beautiful thing.
What I love about this new group is that no one looks like anyone else. They're all so different, and they all photograph strikingly.
When it comes to my celebrity interviews, I'm going to do a lot deeper research and ask them things that people haven't asked before, ... I've been on the other side so much, I have a leg up on a person that has only just interviewed people.
I am prepared to share my life with people,
I do look at 'Modelland' as a franchise.
The judges think, 'Beautiful girl, Beautiful pictures,' but a lot of them don't see a model in front of them.
