I think the rise of Asian models is an absolutely beautiful thing.
My mom was a medical photographer, but on the side, she did a before-and-after glam photography business in the house. She would do makeup and hair - and I was her assistant.
The future is in photos for social media. More and more people are not reading, so I try to attach a photo to most Tweets.
As I look into the future, I see radical changes in both how people 'attain beauty,' and how the world perceives beauty. In general, I believe traditional beauty will be less valuable - and more uniqueness will be heralded.
It's so important to understand your good attendance ups your chances of graduating.
If you can think psychographically and not demographically, you can really target a lot more audiences.
My aunt used to call me light bulb head because my head is small at the bottom and bigger at the top. But it was a term of endearment.
I gave myself a year to be a supermodel. And I said, 'If it doesn't happen, I'm going back to school.'
I have scars on the backs of my arms from dressers in Paris scraping me with pins as I was taking a shirt or gown off.
I was backstage in Paris and saw Cindy Crawford doing House Of Style. I thought, I would love to to be in control of my career.
One thing my mom used to tell me was to look to the other side, and know that my present is not going to be everything. So if I'm having a bad day, she goes, 'Just imagine tomorrow. This is going to be over. This is going to be done with.'

It's not like I want to hop on a bandwagon, because I said it 15 years ago - bringing a child into your life who is not genetically yours is one of the most beautiful things you can do. But I'm also interested in having my own baby, too.
'America's Next Top Model' is not a bunch of Barbies - it's a lot of girls that are atypically beautiful.
I used to say in interviews that I don't necessarily want to be the first black woman or first model to do certain things; I just want to see it done.
I'm trying to build a strong business. I want to create new stars, new shows and new products for my audience and create a legacy that outlives me. There are so many other ways I want to reach women besides doing a talk show.
I'm a big fan of Lady Gaga.
I think one of the biggest things that affects young women is when they hear their mothers using fat talk.
I've helped some of my classmates on how to strategize to get to the next level of their businesses. And it's interesting, because here I am sitting there from the entertainment industry and the fashion industry, and I'm giving a billionaire that has a business that's been in his family for 300 years - I'm giving him advice about strategy!
I was embarrassed when a businessman friend asked, 'What's the yearly budget of your talk show? What's the per-episode budget?' And I looked at him with these blank, typical-model eyes and said, 'I don't know.' I call myself a businesswoman, and I don't know that?
