I do consider myself a feminist, yeah. Totally.
With 'America's Next Top Model,' I've always cast girls who the industry might call 'plus size' but I like to call 'fiercely real.' That was always important to me.
I wanted to be a film and television writer and producer.
I used to really panic about finals. I didn't understand the concept of how you could have one test that encompasses the entire semester.
You don't have to have a ring on your finger to say, 'I love you.'
Being first lady is not just about being the wife but really taking command and having true vision.
I'm a perfectionist. Sometimes I have to remind myself that it's okay if there are flaws here and there.
Flaws are awesome - so, 'flawsome!' I love making up a word.
I get so much mail from young women saying that they are so insecure when they look at me, but they don't realize all of the flaws that I have.
I have a big forehead, and I got made fun of all time. When I was a little girl, they used to call me 'five-head.'
I do look at 'Modelland' as a franchise.
My freshman year, I ran for student class president and lost. The next year, I ran for student class vice president, and I won.
You've got to learn to accept the fool in you as well as the part that's got it goin' on.
I have a lot of success and make a good living, but after while, you start going 'Why? Why are you doing all this?'
I was always a good student. I wasn't the A-plus student, but I studied really hard, and I probably had a 3.2. I always wished that I had the capacity to get straight A's, but I didn't. I didn't beat myself up about it, but I really studied hard for my grades.
I would not recommend a teen getting into modeling if they're not solid when it comes to their grades and school. That comes first. My mother always told me that came first.
When I went to Paris after graduating high school, I saw a model who was 12 years old without any supervision. That wouldn't happen in the acting world.
I would love for models to be protected by a guild.
I used to have this joke: 'Every hallway is a runway.'
Rihanna told me her parents used to argue so intensely, she used to get these headaches, these migraines that were almost not even treatable with medicine. The moment her parents separated, her migraines went away.
