Becoming a model was very counter-culture for my background, which is hyper-liberal, academic and feminist.

If someone has the opportunity to become a model, I would say, 'Do it.'

Hard work is not why I have been successful as a model.

The real way I became a model is I won a genetic lottery, and I became the recipient of a legacy.

Saying you want to be a model when you grow up is akin to saying you want to win the Powerball when you grow up. It's awesome, and it's out of your control, and it's not a career path.

Once you are a model, you do have to fly a million red-eye flights, and you do have to entertain a different client every single day.
