“I started this charity, Fashion for Relief, in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina happened. New Orleans was actually the first place I visited in the United States. It was one of my first big jobs, a shoot for British 'Elle.' It was April 14, 1986.”

“I'm very observant and very instinctive. In life, you have to have the vulnerability to accept when you are to blame. And I do have that, and I am open enough to say it.”

“I make a lot of money and I'm worth every cent.”

“When I first got Yves Saint Laurent Couture, I didn't know how to take off a cape. I would ask Katoucha and Dalma - the real divas of the runway - 'Can you show me?' I've never been afraid to ask for help.”

“What makes a person is the ability to look at themselves and deal with their own lives.”

“Am I bossy? Absolutely. I don't like to lose, and if I'm told 'no,' then I find another way to get my 'yes.' But I'm a loyal person.”

“When I started out modeling, there weren't casting directors and there weren't stylists, so you just dealt directly with the designer. We were all much closer back then.”

“I don't worry about a number. I'm fine with aging.”

“I've been doing my job well for 17 years. People must see something in me. Otherwise, I'd be over and out.”

“אילו הייתי גבר, שנמצא בשליטה על החיים שלו ועל העבודה שלו, לא היו מכנים אותי כך." ~ על כך שיש לה תדמית של "כלבה”

“אני לומדת קבלה כי זה לוקח אותי למקום חיובי ורגוע, זה עוזר לי המון.”

“אף פעם לא לקחתי סמים לפני שעליתי על המסלול, כי ידעתי שאז יוכלו לראות את העיניים שלי וידעו שאני מכורה, אנשים לא טיפשים. אתה חושב שאנשים לא יודעים, אבל הם יודעים. בהחלט יודעים. זאת התודעה שלך שמטעה אותך.”

“לקחתי סמי מרץ, איש לא הכריח אותי לעשות זאת; עשיתי זאת כי רציתי. אני יכולה להאשים רק את עצמי.”

“אני בנאדם, אני עושה טעויות. אני פועלת על פי האינסטינקטים שלי.”

“I don't think I was born beautiful. I just think I was born me.”

“Everyone has a temper. A temper is an emotion.”

“I like the men to wear the pants. I don't want to wear the pants. I like men who know what they want, know what they're doing, make their own decisions... As much as I like to be the controller, it's not in my best interest.”

“I don't like workouts that make you bulky.”

“Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.”

“I've always been very shy of doing television. I've always said 'no.' Not to be disrespectful to anyone - I didn't want to say 'yes' and then let people down.”
