“I am thrilled to be able to bring my vision of beauty to others who may be inspired by it.”

“My mom cooked pot roast with noodles and frozen vegetables. Or she'd make spaghetti or hot dogs, or heat up TV dinners. Before I started modeling at age 19, I was 5'8" and weighed 165 pounds.”

“I didn't think there was life after modelling, believe me. It's a hit to the ego when you are not the diva on the set any more. But I think what keeps me going are challenges. I love when people tell me I can't do something.”

“I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia, an abnormal decrease of sugar in the blood. Eventually I learned to eat five small meals a day. Now if I'm making a movie and get hungry, I call time out to eat some crackers.”

“I'm not a fast driver. I've seen what speed can do.”

“לפעמים עובדה מוזרה יותר מבדיון.”

“בגלל שאת יפה, חושבים שאת לא יכולה לשחק. זה גורם לי לעבוד קשה יותר. יש לי הרבה מה להוכיח.”

“אני נרגשת להביא את חזון היופי שלי לאחרים שעשויים לקבל ממנו השראה.”

“העיתונות התחילה לקרוא לי דוגמנית־על אבל לדעתי היו בנות שהיו יכולות להיקרא דוגמניות־על לפני כן, אם המונח היה קיים.”

“לא הייתה חברות בתחום הדוגמנות, אם כי במידה מסוימת ישנה חמימות הנובעת מהיתקלות בדוגמניות שאת מכירה בצילומים, כי את מגיעה לכל כך הרבה מקומות לא מוכרים, מאלסקה ועד אפריקה.”

“אף פעם לא חשבתי שאני הדוגמנית הכי יפה שיש או האישה הכי סקסית, אבל הייתי עובדת קשה.”

“Sometimes I get so wrought up being brushed, poked and pinned all day.”

“Society says that men need to be bigger and stronger, and they must protect their women and so on.”

“These girls come; they last one season; they're completely used up and dried out and sent back home. That's not how to make a life. I want a girl to come in knowing full well what she's getting into and being able to deal and make decisions that will create a career.”

“It doesn't matter what age you are. You can look sexy and feel great, and that doesn't have to be a gift only for the young. It can be a gift for any age, even the old, whatever that is nowadays.”

“There was really no friendship in modeling, though a certain amount of warmth comes from running into models you know on shoots, because you end up in so many unfamiliar places, from Alaska to Africa.”

“Becoming an actress takes a lot longer than being a star. I don't want to be a star. I want to be an actress. I want to build a career.”

“I found my prince - he's a hockey player and we met at an NHL event, the last place I'd ever expect to meet someone, but there he was.”

“I'm not a vegetarian.”

“I never thought I was the most beautiful model out there or the most sexy woman, but I was a hard worker.”
