Art is for entertainment purposes, but it's also to reflect our dreams, our hopes, the present, the future the past - whether it's good or bad.

My son doesn't really want to model as a career, so I am not worried about him entering into the industry.

I guess you can be a supermodel today just by building followers. You don't necessarily have to do the work of going to Milan and then to Paris or New York, trying to find the right photographer, artist, or designer to see you.

Everybody's constantly growing. In your twenties, you can learn a lot, and you can be very smart and clever and savvy. Especially these kids today. They seem like they have it all together. But let's talk to them again when they're 40 years old and see really who they are. Is it who they thought they were at 25?

I am a kid. I'll always be a girl at heart.

It's essential to feel beautiful to oneself. Not in an egotistical way, but in a self-loving way.

I have an incredible sense of direction, but London is confusing. It's a circle, but then it stops being a circle.

I feel so much more aware of who I am today as a woman since I turned 40.

I don't really want to control anyone, to be honest.

Modeling isn't boring.

I know that some of the spiritual beliefs that I have are that if I come from a place of love, and I try to get out of my ego and my desire to want more and be selfish in any shape or form, then whatever I'm doing is not good.

Speaking up for the truth isn't always easy. It takes courage, but it's necessary.
