I've done modeling since I was 18, but it didn't take off until I moved to Los Angeles. Modeling has always been something I've been really good at, and has been something that's helped pay bills.
I had 30-something years' experience in modeling, which is rare.
I'm trying to work on my modelling career and remove myself from the whole FHM stigma. I want to be seen as a classic model.
My first gig was a Corn Pops commercial. I did the first Vanilla Coke campaign. A Juicy Fruit commercial paid my bills for years.
I was scouted at a Cure concert. A model scout approached me there and asked me if I modeled, and I thought that was ludicrous.
Modeling is where my career started, and it's not something that I think I'm ever going to fully say goodbye to.
To make money in New York, you have to add gigs when starting out, so while I was acting quite a bit, I would do modeling.
I did model for a little while part-time, but I wasn't a bloody model, and I am definitely not that horrible thing 'model-turned-actress.'
I had a happier experience of the city as an actress than I had had as a model.
Modelling is something I couldn't see as my forte or something that I would do for the rest of my life.
A lot of models say you aren't a real model unless you've lived in a model apartment with six or seven girls.
