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 know quite a few friends who are models, and they're usually really smart, sharp, world-savvy people.

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.

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.

People think if you're a model then you must take yourself way too seriously.

It's weird that the world sees modeling as a negative. It just blows my mind how many people think that because I was a model, I think I'm pretty and that I can use my looks to get ahead. I'm not pretty!

There were a few models who used to stay close to my building. I used to admire them and tell my friends that I did. Those models told me get into modeling.

To be a good model, you have to be very smart.

People do make assumptions about models. That's their issue, not mine. It doesn't bother me because I'm comfortable enough in my own skin - I know who I am.

People like to set the bar high. I like to put the bar on the ground and barely step over it. I like to keep the expectations really low.
