It's just this huge sense of relief I have with myself right now... It took me to be 31 to go, 'Wow, I'm really happy being a model.'

Being a model, you're always the product of somebody else's vision.

I'm just happy. I'm just me right now.

As a model, I am at the mercy of everybody else. It's much more of a situation where I go to work, put the clothes on, get in front of the camera, and then go home. But in that process, I never really have control over any of it.

I knew I had more in me than just standing up and having my picture taken... Being in the studio, I have to have an opinion.

I've been writing songs since I was at least 20. That's what I wanted to do before I became a model.
