"Business fits me best. The only reason I went into modeling originally was to help out my family, because I knew that money gave you freedom."
"My husband was just OK looking. I was in labor and I said to him, 'What if she's ugly? You're ugly.'"
"Instead of working out three times a week, I do something physical, like a one-hour walk everyday."
"There's not a hair extension or a makeup artist that can make me feel the way I feel when i give back."
"Everyone should have enough money to get plastic surgery."
