Millionaire models are rare enough; but model millionaires are rarer still!
Models now need to promote themselves, think like businesswomen and diversify their careers by doing other things. Chances are very slim that a mere model will become a household name today.
Today, models are able to share industry news, trends, and communicate with fans through Twitter, Instagram and blogs. So in a way, our position as models is way more personable and relatable.
I'm an actress. In this sense, my profession is less complex than that of a model. True, they're into beauty in Hollywood, and it is age-related, but you can't put a girl with hot lips and no wrinkles and say: 'That's the mother of a 14-year-old.'
I wouldn't have taken up modeling as a profession. It was more of a hobby.
I modeled from the time I was 15 until I was 20.
You know I enjoy modeling but at the end of the day it's a little bit mindless. I mean I was that person that would come home from a modeling job and have to clean the house because I sort of felt like, what the heck did I do today? You know I mean I'm like woo-hoo, I'm changing the world in these blue high heels and a string bikini.
A girl who is interested in becoming a model must first accept the fact that she is the product. She must be ready to deal with a lot of rejection.
This is a profession in which how you look dictates whether or not you get work, so a model has to be healthy.
Modeling chose me, I didn't choose modeling.
I'd have to say that, in general, models take themselves too seriously. Basically, they are genetic freaks who spend a couple of hours in hair and makeup.
If you're a model, you're supposed to know how to walk, aren't you?
With wearing makeup a part of my job as a model, one might think I'd get tired of it, but I absolutely love it.
If I wasn't doing modeling, I'd like to study child psychology.
Once you are a model, you do have to fly a million red-eye flights, and you do have to entertain a different client every single day.
Fashion is really interesting to me, but I'm not a professional model, so I'm focusing my career on acting.
I know I have one of the best jobs in the world. These days, models are allowed to have bigger personalities and be celebrities on their own.
It is important to me that people believe in me as a model, trust in me as a model - which they do in London and New York - which is why sometimes I think I'm an Anglo-Saxon woman at heart.
Modeling is a lonely business.
I made my career off posing in swimsuits and doing all the swimsuit issues and posters.
Before, being a model, it was just a job, and I was making fun of it. But today, I take my career more seriously. The fact that a reader may buy an Armani item because she'd seen it on me in a magazine is very important to me. So much so that I intend to launch my own label.
I was 5 years old when I did my first catwalk and did commercials at 16. I went professional after my studies.
I was from a little rinky-dink town - to be a model... it looked like a lot of fun. I'd look at the girls, and they always looked happy.
It's weird that the world sees modeling as a negative. It just blows my mind how many people think that because I was a model, I think I'm pretty and that I can use my looks to get ahead. I'm not pretty!
Modeling is the best because you have to look hot, which comes easy to me, you know. I'm blessed with that.
