Lauren Hutton

“I discovered myself!”

“Avedon wouldn't let me put wax between my teeth like I usually did.”

“I was making $50 a week as a house model at Christian Dior for nine months before I learned that photographic models made $50 an hour!”

“A lot of modeling is how much crap you can take.”

“The last thing we need is yet another makeup company. Even I have a nervous breakdown when I go through the department store makeup floor.”

“I had 30-something years' experience in modeling, which is rare.”

“No one's raising children any more. To love a child, you've got to work for it. You have to change its diapers and feed it at night!”

“I had always broken the rules.”

“Whatever tension is on set can end up on your face.”

“I'd like to be the first model who becomes a woman.”

“I'm not part of the cultural elite. I'm a down-home girl. Always have been, always will be.”

“I don't spend much money on clothes; I never did.”

“We have to be able to grow up. Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life. They are what we have been through and who we want to be.”

“In 1974, the modeling world changed. Jerry Ford and my lawyer negotiated the deal for the first exclusive contract in modeling history.”

“There are plenty of beautiful girls who don't photograph well.”

“I became a specialist at comedic one-liners.”

“That's the mistake women make - you shouldn't see your makeup. We don't want to look like we've made an effort.”

“We need a new religion.”

“I want to be a wise woman”

“Lord knows, I never want to waste any more of my time in mirrors.”
