Modelling is a silly, crazy business.

I still love taking pictures with Polaroid film. For me, it offers the most beautiful way of capturing reality and transferring it onto a flat piece of paper.

I am very much aware of the visual side of things. I do a lot of photography. I often take Polaroids of things that strike me as visually interesting, just to remember them and perhaps use later.

I was the first f****** hippy to enter this business, you know... I was one of the first girls to say I don't give a f*** about this whole supermodel thing.

I was born in high heels and I've worn them ever since.

The more people explore the world, the more they realize in every country there's a different aesthetic. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.

When you are modelling, you are creating a picture, a still life, perhaps something like a silent film. You convey emotion but you are only using your body.

In modelling, there is no point in trying to prove you have a brain, so why even bother? I'd sooner save the energy for something more meaningful.

A beautiful person is someone who stays true to themselves and their spirit; someone who is self-confident and can make you smile.

I believe food is the most brilliant invention ever.

I am a serious food lover and Peruvian cuisine is one of the best in the world.

You can let go of all that stuff you thought was real when you know it's just a game. What a relief, what a state of grace that brings.

Bigotry hurts the economy, so the next time you want to blame minorities for your problems, first take a look in the mirror.

I am made of poetry and other things that people don't really care about at all.

I think I would rather have a cat than a sweetheart, after all. They are less trouble, and even the handsomest sweetheart is sadly lacking in fur.

Know how to live the time that is given you.

My parents always looked like they loved being together. That's what I took from them, and that's how my wife and I are. I still feel like we're dating.

The human capacity for burden is like bamboo- far more flexible than you'd ever believe at first glance.

It's my job that if somebody wants to have a discussion about something, I'm certainly sensitive to that, and I'm willing to do it.

I know at last what distinguishes man from animals; financial worries.

I was born two months early, and everyone had given up on me. But my mother insisted on my life.
