The entire time I was modeling, I was trying and failing at businesses. In fact, we would have started our business much sooner had I been more successful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
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.
Modeling wasn't the thing that was going to define me in any way; it was just a way to make a lot of money.
It's hard to appreciate success in modeling, because it's not something you feel like you've earned, so there is a little bit of bread of shame that comes with that. It's like somebody giving you a puzzle that's already put together.
I went to a modeling agency and said I wanted to be a model. I worked, worked, worked so much while I was studying.
I think one of the secrets to modelling is the less you care and the more you're yourself, the more successful you are.
Modeling gave me an opportunity to be someone I'm not each day.
I've acted my whole life pretty much, but then just got more into modelling.
I had 30-something years' experience in modeling, which is rare.
I never had an ambition to go into modeling, originally. I still can't believe how quickly it all took off.
