“I don't happen to think magazines should be full of thin people. What I do say is that we can all work a little harder with what we have. It is possible to achieve a better body shape and heart rate with nutrition and exercise.”

“I had no illusions that my career would be any longer than three years tops.”

“As long as designers want to dress me, photographers want to take my picture and companies think my face will help their products, then I won't go anywhere until they're done with me.”

“Designers and photographers still want to work with me and I'm grateful for that. I don't know how long I'll carry on - as long as they'll have me.”

“When I started in the business, I was told I had three good years in me.”

“We have this expression, Christy and I. We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day.”

“I don't get cast for every job and I understand that.”

“If they had Nautilus on the Concorde, I would work out all the time.”

“Why would I be embarrassed about being Canadian? I'm very proud. We're just the nicest people. Everyone likes us.”

“אני לא עושה דיאטה. אני פשוט לא אוכלת כמו שהייתי רוצה.”

“אני לא קמה מהמיטה בשביל פחות מעשרת אלפים דולר.”

“זה אלוהים שעשה אותי כל כך יפה. אם לא הייתי כזאת, אז הייתי מורה.”

“אנשים חושבים שדוגמנות זה תחום חסר דעת, שאתה פשוט עומד שם ומצטלם, אבל זה לא חייב להיות כך.”

“I love, love, love fashion so much. That's why I became a model in the first place.”

“Being a rock star was out of the question. I can't sing.”

“I know that sometimes the chemistry just isn't there between the model, photographer, hair and make-up. It's nobody's fault and you just have to do better next time.”

“I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready, I think I would have rather been watching.”

“I can do anything you want me to do so long as I don't have to speak.”

“I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.”

“I have turned down so many major advertising bids because I think either the time isn't right or I'm not.”
