When I'm working, I always make time to get exercise into my schedule.

I've never had to rebel against my parents; I never had that sort of teen-angst thing where you didn't get along with them. My dad's always been my buddy.

I've always wanted to break the stereotype of being a model.

I suppose it's the feminist in me, but I didn't always associate modelling with an intelligent career. I used to put myself down for doing it.

The older I get, the less I need. I wear the same jean shorts for the whole week. I'm not running to the store to get the latest bag.

Sailing is the closest I can get to nature - it's adrenaline, fear, a constant challenge and learning experience, an adventure into the unknown. And of course there is nothing better than wearing the same T-shirt for days and not brushing my hair for weeks.
