I just decided to take some time off. I've been modeling since '93, '92, and that's a pretty long time. I'm a single mother and I chose to focus on her.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have an incredible role model in my mom. She was a single mother raising two kids in New York.
I haven't left modeling completely; I just took a step out, and I now have the rare luxury of picking and choosing how to spend my days.
I've done modeling since I was 18, but it didn't take off until I moved to Los Angeles. Modeling has always been something I've been really good at, and has been something that's helped pay bills.
Motherhood has brought me many joys and insights, but the new perspective it granted me on the role I had inadvertently played in young women's lives for the 2 decades I spent in the modeling industry was downright sobering.
Even when I was modelling, I never had a mom sitting on my head and a bunch of people waiting on me. I've always been independent. I'll do my thing and go.
My mother has been an advocate for me as far as modeling goes.
I would love to continue to model but also have a family.
I really want to keep modelling, but it's not my number one goal in life. But it's so fun. I love doing it; it's just that - it's not like I just want to be a model when I'm older.
I never had an ambition to go into modeling, originally. I still can't believe how quickly it all took off.
At 24, I took time off to have a baby, and ever since, I have been juggling modelling with motherhood.
