I never set out to be a role model, but I guess parents like it because I am dedicated to school.

To support myself as a kid, I was a model at art schools around Boston.

My dad was fine about me doing modelling at 16 because I always said school was important to me. I always chose my jobs carefully so I wouldn't have to take too much time off. It got harder toward the end with my A-levels; there were sleepless nights, and I was doing my homework on the plane coming home, but I pulled through.

I was an only child, and my mom threw me into some modeling classes to get me out of my shell.

Modeling was something I wanted to try from a really young age.

When I was 15, I was scouted at the mall by Elite Model Management. I started to go to New York on the bus in high school, which was about four hours door-to-door from my hometown, until I moved to New York and lived in models' apartments all over.

I was 16 when I started modelling. It wasn't planned, but nothing in my life has or ever will be planned.

I modeled from the time I was 15 until I was 20.

When I was a kid, probably 16 or 17, I got spotted by a model scout that wanted to represent me, and they sent me one modeling job, for Wall's ice cream. I did one job for them, and then a catwalk shoot for Kangol caps, and decided modeling was not for me.

I started modelling quite late, at 20. In this industry, girls start when they're barely even 14 or 15.
