The average British woman is a size 12 to 14, but in modelling, a size 12 is considered huge, which is ridiculous.

I grew up in neighbouring Hawaii, where Tahiti is regarded as a brother.

I definitely think men prefer women more undone and natural than butch and masculine. They prefer a fresher, sexier, more feminine look.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

The cruel ambush of 9/11 supposedly 'changed everything,' slapping us back to reality. Yet we are constantly shocked, shocked by the foreseeable.

I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.
