The life of a working model in L.A. kind of sucks.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I modeled a little bit in Georgia growing up. I did catalogs and different things, but then when I came to L.A., I became a professional model. It sounds kind of crazy, but in L.A. was when I was able to start making a living from modeling.
I see L.A. as a workplace rather than somewhere to live. If I don't get out, I go crazy. If you have a little success, people treat you differently, so it's good to keep a healthy perspective. It's acting, not rocket science.
I work in L.A. from time to time.
It's really hard work being a model.
What I remember about coming to L.A. is that suddenly work was as big a presence in my life as my life itself.
I've been really lucky because when I go out to L.A. it's for a job, not to look for a job. That's the way I like L.A. most - when I already have a job.
I just find that you can become a very boring person living in L.A. I tell you, living there on a day-to-day basis is vacuous: terribly fake.
You have to keep hobbies in L.A. Otherwise, it's sad.
The life of a model is so varied that I never know what will be happening from one week to the next.
Modelling doesn't hold you back in L.A. at all.
