When I started out modelling, people kept warning me that I would only last five years.

I never thought I would model for more than a few years.

I modelled in my 20s, and it was an obsessive time. I was under pressure to look a certain way.

I never had an ambition to go into modeling, originally. I still can't believe how quickly it all took off.

I started off as a model and struggled for some time until I got a break as an actress. I was too stubborn to let go and was sure I was in the right place at the right time. I just fought and I think that's how I am where I am today.

I was very ambitious. It all started because my first boyfriend dumped me when I was 14. I'd always wanted to be a model and thought, 'Right, he's going to see me everywhere.' I was relentless in my pursuit of modeling. It was revenge.

I didn't think there was life after modelling, believe me. It's a hit to the ego when you are not the diva on the set any more. But I think what keeps me going are challenges. I love when people tell me I can't do something.

Modeling was so fleeting it doesn't count in my life scheme.

The entire time I was modeling, I was trying and failing at businesses. In fact, we would have started our business much sooner had I been more successful.

It took me six years to be comfortable modeling a swimsuit.
