Eileen Ford Quotes

For a long time, I did feel aware that I wasn't pretty or bubbly enough. Nor was I sexy-looking.

I was skinny as a rail and had high cheekbones and a very interesting face - or so I was told.

I always thought models had to fit a certain mould. I never thought I had what it takes. I'm too small and my look's pretty weird.

I wasn't the prettiest girl in class. No breasts, short legs, gangly teeth. I didn't think I was model material, that's for sure.

I knew very early on that I was not pretty. No one ever called me pretty. It was not the go-to adjective people used to describe me.

I was never a good-looking bloke. Not by a long chalk.

I was always unusual-looking; I wouldn't say beautiful.

My eyes are too small, and they're too close together, and I have a pointy nose. But who cares? Who cares?!

I never looked good in a bikini. My legs were too thin.

I always thought I was sort of awkward and goofy-looking. I'm still kind of gangly.

And anyway, modeling wasn't for me. I'm too short. I've got a big butt. It wasn't going to happen.

I'm not pretty. The truth is I didn't think I could be a model at all. I was looking at some of the guys on the walls at Irene Marie and I thought to myself 'Jesus Christ. I can't do this. I don't look anything like these guys'.

I wish I looked more like my mother, but I think I look like my father. I wish I had one of those naturally beautiful faces. Or a more quirky face. I'm right down the middle: not interesting enough, not pretty enough.

I really don't think I ever thought I could be a model. I was shorter than all of the models around and certainly rounder than anybody that I had ever seen in a magazine.

From as far back as I can remember, I was always insecure about my looks, whether it was my flat chest, my skinny legs, or how to cope with my body as it changed. With hindsight, I can see I was different. I was given a body that worked for photographic modelling and a photogenic face.

I was naturally skinny and had braces, so I wasn't a cute model.

But as a young model, I never felt as beautiful as I looked.

I'm flatchested, I'm short, I'm brunette, I have droopy eyes, and so people have a hard time casting me as a 'beauty.'

I have one of those faces that nobody likes.

I do wish my breasts were bigger. Not big... but less small.

I'm never happy with my face, my hair, I haven't really got any boobs and I'm not really that tall.

I definitely don't think of myself as an actual male model. I'm far too short and my legs are far too muscular.

I don't feel comfortable without my makeup on. I've got to have my lipstick! I just don't feel like the same person, and I don't like the way I look without makeup.

I've been told I'd make a great parts model.

I think my eyes are pretty, but I'm not sure with other parts.
