When I used to model, the job description is 'shut up and pose.' There are people today who would really like me to go back to that old job description and 'just shut up and pose.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I came out of school I didn't even think that modeling was a job.
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.
All eyes are on you when you're modeling and acting, and I just didn't want the attention when I wasn't working. But as I've gotten older, I've become more comfortable with my body and am taking more fashion risks.
I never thought I could model, and I certainly never thought about acting. It's just something that happened to me.
Modeling is a profession where your worth is tied up with looks.
Modeling is a lonely business... You don't speak. You don't really portray anything but an image... the business is so superfluous about dealing with the outside, it messes with your mind.
My first modeling job was Gap, and my first time in front of the camera was for a Soda Pop Girls commercial - it's one of those Bratz dolls, Barbie dolls... one of those.
Modeling gave me an opportunity to be someone I'm not each day.
I went to a modeling agency and said I wanted to be a model. I worked, worked, worked so much while I was studying.
People always ask me if I'm going to stop modeling because I have started an acting career. I hope to continue to model for years to come.
