“Your face is one of the favorite faces of the judges -- they constantly talk about your high cheekbones -- but they feel like there's something that's a little vacuous, that's doesn't connect.”
“I haven't seen the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre. I haven't seen anything. I don't really care.”
“The judges think, 'Beautiful girl, Beautiful pictures,' but a lot of them don't see a model in front of them.”
“I liked college guys but they could tell I was just a skinny girl.”
“The judges see a model in person, but for two weeks in a row they have been less than impressed with your photos. So what the judges see now is a lot of potential, but they haven't seen that potential put into your photos.”
“When I announced that I wanted to do a talk show, a lot of people were very skeptical, which, of course, I understand, ... I think I'm very good at stepping outside of myself and seeing what I think other people perceive and they perceive a girl that has modeled half of her life and that's pretty much it.”
“[As a model,] I've always been what people might call approachable. On the street, people are like, 'You know, you're cool and you weigh 20 pounds (more) than those other girls in the Victoria's Secret catalogue and that makes me feel good. And you're funny and crazy,' ... I want to hear that. That makes me feel good.”
“Is this a church meeting or is this a bar? Make some noise!”
“By no means am I against plastic surgery, by no means am I saying that breast implants are a bad thing, but it's just not a choice that I made ... it's something that a lot of people think I have and that is so frustrating to me.”
“take responsibility for yourself because no one's going to take responsibility for you”
“I'm a Target girl,”
“The judges look at you and every week you are the most beautiful girl to them, but we still haven't seen that in your pictures.”
“By no means am I saying a breast implant is a bad thing, but it's not a choice that I made.”
“I wanted to take something that's very intimidating and make it accessible, make it something every woman can relate to and be a part of, ... One of the reasons why I got very known as a model was because I used to work the runway with a lot of movement. I didn't just walk up and down unless the designer asked for that. So that's what you're going to see, women working the runway with a lot of oomph.”
“[While anyone who saw] America's Next Top Model ... Every day she will speak to real women — and sometimes men, too — providing insight into topics that affect their lives. From relationship, family, self-esteem and lifestyle issues to topical news, celebrities and pop culture ... ”
“When it comes to my celebrity interviews, I'm going to do a lot deeper research and ask them things that people haven't asked before, ... I've been on the other side so much, I have a leg up on a person that has only just interviewed people.”
“Coyote Ugly.”
“I am totally against plastic surgery. A lot of people think I have breast implants because I have the biggest boobs in the business. But I was a 34C when I was 17...They stay up when I wear a push-up bra. But if people could see me when I come home and take off my bra, how could they think these are fake?”
“A girl like you that is not necessarily super tall or has a model proportion has to be almost perfect and you nearly fell off this runway.”
“Black women have always been these vixens, these animalistic erotic women. Why can't we just be the sexy American girl next door?”
“I love the confidence that makeup gives me.”
“It seemed like the last form of open discrimination that's OK, and I decided to put on a 350-pound suit myself and live that life for a day and see what happens. And it was one of the most heartbreaking days of my life.”
“South Park.”
“My hair's all over my head. It's sticking straight up and it's dirty and full of dandruff. And every time I scratch my scalp, I get this gook of nasty dandruff under my nails.”
“I just want you to be yourself. Be a bigger yourself.”
“Why am I so damn skinny and you know, is it ever gonna change.”
“As a model, you're so used to taking your clothes off that you just don't care.”
“I'm tired of this rumor. It's something that's followed me forever,”
“I am prepared to share my life with people,”
“It was one of the most heartbreaking days of my life,”
“The judges felt the need to save you from this crazy cutthroat world of modeling, that would make a sad girl extremely depressed.”
“You are not here because you take bad pictures, but because of something we call lack of persona.”
“What I love about this new group is that no one looks like anyone else. They're all so different, and they all photograph strikingly.”
“A smart model is a good model.”
“I don't know what to do with my arms. It just makes me feel weird and I feel like people are looking at me and that makes me nervous.”
“to use her success to help other women on their journey in life.”
“Because my hands are rough and wrinkley, they are my least favourite feature. An ex-boyfriend used to call them 'Freddy Kreuger' fingers.”
“Every woman has a story,”
“Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies. Black men love big butts.”
“I had no idea people were that blatant.”
