Pledge that you will look in the mirror and find the unique beauty in you.
I am totally against plastic surgery. A lot of people think I have breast implants because I have the biggest boobs in the business.
I'm not sure exactly how gossiping about my life with my audience really helps them
Take responsiblilty for yourself because no one's going to take responsibility for you.
I'm a perfectionist. Sometimes I have to remind myself that it's okay if there are flaws here and there.
I had had an extroverted personality with a lot of friends, but when I lost the weight and grew so tall, I withdrew within myself.
I look at myself and pick out the things I don't like. No matter how much I work out, I never get muscle tone in my butt and hip area.
Modeling chose me, I didn't choose modeling.
I used to love writing in my journal.
My aunt used to call me light bulb head because my head is small at the bottom and bigger at the top. But it was a term of endearment.
Once you plant seeds of success, your tree will bear fierce fruit.
I know how to dress for my body to give off illusions, and I like to teach women about it - it's important for women to have that power and that arsenal... tricks that make you feel good when you walk outside.
A smart model is a good model.
My nutritionist says, 'If you bite it, write it.' Writing down everything that you put in your mouth really helps. I don’t count a damn calorie. But when I’m really trying to eat healthy, I write everything down. It really holds me accountable and puts me on a healthier path.
