I think models in general have a certain insecurity about themselves because they're known for being beautiful, so they have to prove to everybody they have personality and they are intelligent.

I'm not as beautiful as a model.

Beauty arises out of human inspiration.

I don't really consider myself a model, to be honest. I respect designers; I think it's another art, you know.

You have to be careful when you use beauty as a guide. There are many theories people didn't think were beautiful at the time but did find beautiful later - and vice versa.

I never thought I was the most beautiful model out there or the most sexy woman, but I was a hard worker.

Beauty, by way of fashion, has to do with confidence, with flattering silhouettes, with patterns, with proper fit for body type, and with an abundance of self-love!

Modeling, for me, isn't about being beautiful but creating something interesting for people to look at and think about.

Models are just mannequins seeking validation at the hands of sleazy fashion people.

Most of our models have just walked in off the streets, although I also find them on countless trips to Europe - particularly Scandinavia. I operate by instinct. It's a process I cannot explain, but the prettiest girl on the block is not always the best model.
