I would say my sense of adventure outweighs my grace.

When I used to model, the job description is 'shut up and pose.' There are people today who would really like me to go back to that old job description and 'just shut up and pose.'

I won't give up my day job of design.

If we get our self-esteem from superficial places, from our popularity, appearance, business success, financial situation, health, any of these, we will be disappointed, because no one can guarantee that we'll have them tomorrow.

I made the intentional choice to step behind the camera.

Because modeling is lucrative, I'm able to save up and be more particular about the acting roles I take.

I know my strengths. Painfully aware of the weaknesses. There's many. I love sports. So working towards a common goal, that's exciting to me.

In business it's about people. It's about relationships.

My family gave me values that have sustained me through situations that would challenge any person. My personal relationship with the Lord inspires me in all I do.

There are a lot of good arguments for birth control, but as far as terminating a life that has already come into existence, I haven't found any.

Jesus was nothing like I thought - He wasn't condemning. He was loving and leading.

It's been an extraordinary journey. I have learned so much along the way. I entered the modeling industry as a business person already. I always knew I belonged on the other side of the camera.
