- "I believe in the gold standard. I like solid lumps of things. You can always melt them down." - referring to her high-paying model status.
- I never starved myself either. I remember all the models eating raw hamburgers and living on codeine to keep up their energy. You never met a skinnier, meaner bunch of people.
- Pinball is my favorite indoor sport
- My favorite city? Paris. Because you never know what's going to come around the next corner, because you live in surprises. You know like when you're in love and you hurt a little bit? I always hurt for Paris.
- Modeling is the quickest way I know of to make a lot of money fast. All you need is strong ankles.
