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.

Models are some of the most insecure people I've ever met. They're constantly being told they're not good enough. You've really got to practice loving yourself.

I think most models, when they start out, are insecure. And you become the focus of a lot of people's attention, so outside validation becomes too important.

Being a model, you're always the product of somebody else's vision.

You have to find the peace and patience within yourself to be a model and an example to others and not judge.

I think one of the secrets to modelling is the less you care and the more you're yourself, the more successful you are.

I didn't want to miss out on my education to model. I can't do just modeling.

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.

In modeling, I had to learn to like myself, to love myself, to feel comfortable.

People attach too much to the idea of being a model, that you can only be a certain way to have done it. You will always be dealing with it. You're an actor who used to be a model who never trained; there are not many directors queuing up.
