“I don't think just being skinny means necessarily anorexic.”

“I hope one day when I say I'm from Estonia, people don't say: 'What? Where's that?'”

“מקומות כמו ניו יורק הם פשוט אינטנסיביים מדי, יותר מדי על כסף, יותר מדי על אמביציה; הכול שטחי מדי בשבילי.”

“אני מקווה שיום אחד כשאני אומרת שאני מאסטוניה, אנשים לא יגידו: 'מה? איפה זה?' ”

“אני לא חושבת שעצם להיות רזה זה בהכרח אנורקסי.”

“זה כבר לא באמת שיש לך משהו כמו דוגמנית־על. זו יותר מילה מאשר קיום אמיתי. אני חושבת שגם כשמסתכלים על זה מנקודת מבט של מעצב, בשלב מסוים אולי הם הרגישו שהכוכבות הורידו יותר מדי תשומת לב מהבגדים.”

“You know what I always dreamed of? That with the greenhouse effect, one day Estonia can be what L.A. is right now. I always thought when the end of the world comes, I want to be in Estonia. I think then I'd survive.”

“I have a figure, and there aren't many girls out there right now who have that.”

“We feel free. We're independent. People can be openly proud of being Estonian. I have a lot of belief in Estonia.”

“It's not really like you have a thing like a supermodel anymore. It's more of a word than a real existence. I think, also, looking at it from a designer's point of view, at one point maybe they felt the stars took too much attention away from the clothes.”

“Places like New York are just too intense, too much about money, too much about ambition; it's all too superficial for me.”

“I don't think Estonians ever really hated Russians. It was more, 'Leave us alone.' We can't change what is past. We can't blame them for what their parents have done. We never hated them. They didn't destroy us that bad.”

“I get paid to work; I don't pay to work.”
