Quotes :
- "I guess I
'm his muse."
- "I didn't know what modeling was."
- "I had a religious upbringing."
- "Boys ignored me, I never thought I was gorgeous."
- "With modeling, you are judged on your looks. It's easy to take that personally, but you have to realise that it's only your appearance that's being judged, not you as a whole. If you didn't, you'd be destroyed."
