“I've always done method acting. I'm a method actor, and I've done that for years. I never did acting and decided to take it seriously because all the parts people want me to do were playing the pretty role. If I want to play someone pretty, I'll play myself.”

“I'm a bat. All my greatest, creative ideas come at night. So I hardly ever sleep.”

“I truly am living out what true joy and happiness means.”

“My mother and my father always had me in ballet and dance, and I sang in a girl's group.”

“Modelling, it's being an artist as well. It's just being a silent artist. It takes a lot of self-control and a lot of discipline.”

“There's so many misconceptions about me and my personality. People think I'm not a nice person, you know, or maybe a diva; not just about me, but the misconceptions of other models as well, or supermodels.”

“I live in Manhattan but travel all around the world; I moved to Paris when I was 16; I lived in London twice. It's kind of like, if I want to move somewhere, I don't have anything holding me back. I don't have children. If I wanna live in a certain place, I'll go. But I've lived everywhere, and I prefer New York to everything.”

“I am a woman who, you know, I run my own business. I don't need a man financially, for anything, but just to be a companion.”

“I want a man who isn't questioning who he is. I want a man to be able to stand next to me and not disappear and not be emasculated by my success.”

“I have male friends. I'm the type of girl that always had male friends, more male friends than female friends. So just because you see me with the person doesn't mean that I'm kicking it with them, hanging out with them, or we're romantically involved in any way, shape or form.”

“My hair is my protection.”

“I like very masculine smells. I like wood scents on men. I just like a man to smell great, but I don't like very strong cologne. I don't like when a man is overpowered by cologne. I think subtle and sexy is always best.”

“I'm keeping my power to myself and my glow. I'm not giving anybody my glow anymore.”

“You tell me the truth, and I am hooked for life, because the one thing that you can't find nowadays is the person who is going to be absolutely honest with you.”

“I'm a poet first and foremost, before the modelling.”

“Fashion is constantly changing from decade to decade, but I don't see a change in how many black faces I see on the runway, and it's something we should talk about because it's a problem.”

“I went through my rebellious phase, not in my teenage years, but around age 12. The year I decided I didn't want to do entertainment anymore, I was discovered. And I couldn't back down from that.”

“The only way you can get to know each other is by hanging out.”

“I'm such a robot when it comes to work.”

“A lot of people fall in love because you're sharing your body with someone. And sometimes you get it twisted, and you think that that's real love.”
