JESSICA WHITE

Women, we are so strong! It took me so long to figure that out, but I realized just how strong a woman is.

Modelling, it's being an artist as well. It's just being a silent artist. It takes a lot of self-control and a lot of discipline.

A lot of people fall in love because you're sharing your body with someone. And sometimes you get it twisted, and you think that that's real love.

I have good and bad days like everyone else. I just try to be positive and surround myself with great people. When I think about all the great things and people I have had in my life, that gives me confidence.

There's a part in a woman's soul, God has given it to every woman, and it's the part where you know whether he's telling the truth or not. Women see red flags.

When you really see how much God loves you, there's no greater love than that, and I had to match that amount of love He had for me, which is the reason why I decided to take a vow of celibacy.

I'm such a robot when it comes to work.

When I'm not working, I don't wear a lot of makeup. When I do, I like to accentuate my eyes and wear natural colors. I am also mindful of the proper way to apply concealer.

Men mess up. Women create this big illusion in their head that the man they're going to be with is going to be perfect. Nobody's going to be perfect, and people are going to let you down. The only thing that you can hope for is someone that's going to be honest with you.

I like very masculine smells. I like wood scents on men. I just like a man to smell great, but I don't like very strong cologne. I don't like when a man is overpowered by cologne. I think subtle and sexy is always best.

Be true to yourself, know that your are more than your face and body, and keep God first.

I eat fast food all the time.

I want a man who isn't questioning who he is. I want a man to be able to stand next to me and not disappear and not be emasculated by my success.

I am a woman who, you know, I run my own business. I don't need a man financially, for anything, but just to be a companion.

I don't attack innocent people.

I don't feel safe around a lot of people.

I truly am living out what true joy and happiness means.

I'm keeping my power to myself and my glow. I'm not giving anybody my glow anymore.

Fashion is constantly changing from decade to decade, but I don't see a change in how many black faces I see on the runway, and it's something we should talk about because it's a problem.

I moved back to Buffalo in 2009, and I had this moment where I wanted to have the best of both worlds. I wanted to be able to be in church and cook at home but then still get on a plane and fly back to New York and be this supermodel.

I've always done method acting. I'm a method actor, and I've done that for years. I never did acting and decided to take it seriously because all the parts people want me to do were playing the pretty role. If I want to play someone pretty, I'll play myself.

There's so many misconceptions about me and my personality. People think I'm not a nice person, you know, or maybe a diva; not just about me, but the misconceptions of other models as well, or supermodels.

I don't want my daughters to grow up the way that I grew up. I want them to actually see Mommy in a fulfilled relationship that's amazing for her.

I'm a poet first and foremost, before the modelling.

My hair is my protection.
