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.

I always wanted to be a teacher or wanted to do something with food. But modeling, I just never thought I could do it myself, really, ever. I still have trouble calling myself a model. I just never thought I was tall enough or skinny enough.

Modeling gave me an opportunity to be someone I'm not each day.

I never had an ambition to go into modeling, originally. I still can't believe how quickly it all took off.

I really don't think I ever thought I could be a model. I was shorter than all of the models around and certainly rounder than anybody that I had ever seen in a magazine.

I was very skinny, braces; so I never thought I would be a model.

When I was around 16 or 17, I got asked to model, but because I was very 'tomboy' at the time, I wasn't interested. But then I had a bit of teenage rebellion, and I saw modeling as an opportunity to get away from school and parents, so I thought, 'OK, maybe I will be a model.'

When I came out of school I didn't even think that modeling was a job.

I definitely don't think of myself as an actual male model. I'm far too short and my legs are far too muscular.

I remember when I was little, much younger than I was when I started modeling, people always said, 'Oh, you should be a model.' But I didn't like people telling me what to do... But I didn't plan to transform into an actress, either. It just happened.
