All of a sudden I was living what is perceived to be the model life. It was just full-on, 24 hours a day. It was work all the time. And there's always a party to go to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've always only wanted to model. It really is the only life I want.
Modeling gave me an opportunity to be someone I'm not each day.
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.
I went to a modeling agency and said I wanted to be a model. I worked, worked, worked so much while I was studying.
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 was fortunate enough to model, but it was always work for me. It was a way to support myself and finance acting classes.
I can say that when you model,when you get to a certain age, that's it for you. I remember there was a time where I was like, 'What am I going to do with my life?' I am a high school dropout who's only modeled. So there was desperation with that.
There is good in everything; it's just how you choose to look at it. Everything that's worth it has a price. For me to be a model - I had to leave my family. Do you think I liked that? No! There are sacrifices. Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.
Modeling was so fleeting it doesn't count in my life scheme.
There wasn't really one time in my life where I was like, 'I want to be a model!'
