I hated modeling.

I would never become a big, big model in the commercial sense because I was such a type; you couldn't use me in everything.

I'm not really a model.

I'd never planned on being a model.

No, I always hated modeling. I developed an early hatred of modeling just from having to do it; having won Miss Teenage Memphis, I had to model, and I hated it. It bored me.

I'd love there to be more larger models, but it's just not going to happen. Designers love to design for slim girls.

Models are like athletes: You burn hard and fast.

There are great slender models, great tall models, Amazonian models, great busty models - my point is models of all shapes and sizes, age, ethnic background should be embraced and celebrated.

I've always wanted to break the stereotype of being a model.

Models are some of the most insecure people I've ever met. They're constantly being told they're not good enough. You've really got to practice loving yourself.
