Successful model? That's a myth. The year I modeled was the most painful year of my life. Editors would always talk to you in the third person as though you were merely a piece of merchandise.

I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.

I never planned to be a model at all. I moved to Paris to study art, and I was there working as an artist, taking classes, and I had a little sick dog that I was using up all of my money to try and heal. It was right at that point that this photographer, Errol Sawyer, saw me at the phoning office and convinced me to let him take my photo.

I was a model for eight years. That's the deal: People look. But I didn't like being looked at and never seen.

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.

It's weird that the world sees modeling as a negative. It just blows my mind how many people think that because I was a model, I think I'm pretty and that I can use my looks to get ahead. I'm not pretty!

I'm a professional model, but I still take crappy selfies.

I don't really consider myself a model, to be honest. I respect designers; I think it's another art, you know.

I never cared about modeling. As a model, you're powerless.
