“[Giving advice on modeling] Nothing is easy, especially in modelling. There is an enormous amount of rejection in this industry and you have to be really strong to withstand it. If it is your dream then believe in it and follow it and don’t lose sight of yourself in the process. To be your absolute best you need to look after your body, treat it with respect and give your body everything it needs, nutritionally, emotionally and physically. Your body can’t shine on the outside unless it is healthy on the inside.”
“[Talking about inner beauty] I believe it is nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice. I honestly try to live my life everyday from the point of view of gratitude and appreciation. I practice Nicheren Buddhism, chant regularly, meditate and do yoga regularly. Inner peace and inner beauty is very important to me.”
“I am a health nut and only do things that are good for my body.”
“[on the Spice Girls performing at the 2007 Victoria's Secrets fashion show] Growing up, I was quite into them, so it was quite surreal to have them performing on the same stage that we were.”
“I’ve always wanted kids… My ideal situation would be to live on a farm in a solar-powered house with a hammock and a vegetable patch. When this is all over that’s where I’ll be.”
“Fashion starts with underwear, and that starts with Victoria’s Secret.”
“[On winning the Dolly magazine modeling competition] They were blowing out of proportion. In the media at the time they were trying to cling on to anything remotely to do with pedophilia. Dolly is a magazine for teenage girls, not for old men. And I was fully clothed! Doing a winter shoot! They just made something out of nothing.”
