Let's just say, if I weren't a model, I'd be a walking collage. I see my body as a blank canvas that's aching to be decorated; I find it all very fascinating.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Modeling, for me, isn't about being beautiful but creating something interesting for people to look at and think about.
Every model is a living sculpture - art in-vivo.
Modeling gave me an opportunity to be someone I'm not each day.
I've always only wanted to model. It really is the only life I want.
When I fell into modeling, because I wanted to work in fashion. I wanted to do styling or make-up. I ended getting picked up to be a model instead during my work experience.
I know a lot of athletes and models are written off as just bodies. I never felt used for my body.
Modeling is the world that I feel most welcome in.
I thought it was quite vain to say, I want to be a model.
There's no way I would have got to see so much of the world, with my humble background, without modelling. We were penniless and hungry for most of my youth. I washed the sheets in the bathtub in my bedroom and hung them out of the window on the clothes line, which in winter was difficult as the sheets would freeze and get stuck to the line.
I don't really consider myself a model, to be honest. I respect designers; I think it's another art, you know.
