Quotes :
- "My primary objective is to make money so that after I quit modeling, I can live a tranquil life."
- "I love painting people, printing and I'd like to take metal work classes. I'd rather be remembered as a famous painter, than a famous model, so I better get the ball rolling now."
- "I'll take a little cash out of the bank just in case weird things go down. I'll have a bunch of food - we'll probably even freeze some. We have a well at our house in the country, so I think we'll be okay there, but I'll still make sure we have lots of bottled water."
