I never planned to be a model at all. I moved to Paris to study art, and I was there working as an artist, taking classes, and I had a little sick dog that I was using up all of my money to try and heal. It was right at that point that this photographer, Errol Sawyer, saw me at the phoning office and convinced me to let him take my photo.

What a model of an artist was for me was an artist who worked. Picasso was the ultimate model, because the work ethic he had.

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

In my final year of college, I was interning with L'Oreal, when during one of the photo shoots, a photographer suggested I become a model. I was working under Smira Bakshi, who was this really cool chick, as she was loaded, had her fun, and was successful. I basically aspired to be her.

Honestly, I didn't know I was a role model.

I was an art student at the time, like thousands of others.

In the beginning, I didn't know if I was still a model, if I was an actress. I knew I wanted to be an actress, but it was so difficult to be believed.

When I was young, I did actually model and was much photographed by famous photographers. But I was always a bookworm.

I went to a modeling agency and said I wanted to be a model. I worked, worked, worked so much while I was studying.
