My freshman year, I ran for student class president and lost. The next year, I ran for student class vice president, and I won.
I'm not in a position to tell heavy people anything.
I think people are way less judgmental about chunky guys.
I look up to Martha Stewart, and I love that she has product lines that are true extensions of her brand.
I gave myself a year to be a supermodel. And I said, 'If it doesn't happen, I'm going back to school.'
I do consider myself a feminist, yeah. Totally.
I became a victim of mean girls. I became the victim of myself.
Blue and green eyes will be so common that dark brown will become the rare and newly desired eye color.
I am protective of my own personal life, but I must confess that I enjoy watching people that don't mind telling it all.
The fire to inspire women and help them to blaze new paths fiercely burns inside of me.
On 'America's Next Top Model,' I mentor girls on television. When that TV goes off, I actually mentor other girls in the modeling industry - girls that have not been on 'Top Model,' but who appear in 'Vogue' worldwide.
I am learning how to delegate and how to empower people.
Being first lady is not just about being the wife but really taking command and having true vision.
My most difficult class at Harvard Business School would have to be finance.
