Moms, you are the first and most influential role model in your girl's life. Use that power.
I'm all about zagging when everyone else is zigging.
I'm always looking at how I can be atypical.
I look up to Walt Disney and what he has done.
I have a lot of success and make a good living, but after while, you start going 'Why? Why are you doing all this?'
I have a poverty demon. I'll ask my accountant if I can afford something, and he'll say, 'What are you talking about?'
I have a big forehead, and I got made fun of all time. When I was a little girl, they used to call me 'five-head.'
There have been top supermodels in the past that weren't as tall as the industry demands, like fashion icon Kate Moss.
You are not here because you take bad pictures, but because of something we call lack of persona.
Dab - don't rub - cream formulas onto your skin. Rubbing washes out the color, so do that only if you've put on too much.
Even when I was a teen model, I didn't think it was fair that I had to enter the acting world to get insurance.
It was one of the most heartbreaking days of my life,
It's kind of embarrassing, but in my early 20s, I used to want to be a princess. But I didn't want to have to marry somebody in order to do it!
I wanted to take something that's very intimidating and make it accessible, make it something every woman can relate to and be a part of, ... One of the reasons why I got very known as a model was because I used to work the runway with a lot of movement. I didn't just walk up and down unless the designer asked for that. So that's what you're going to see, women working the runway with a lot of oomph.
