To me, it's a little odd to ever think 'model into actor.' I modeled once. I was about as far from a decent model as you can possibly be. I did not enjoy the world at all. I fell in my stilettos quite a bit.
I rarely had the opportunity to work as a full time model or to pursue a professional career in modelling, because school was always my priority.
In ten years of modeling, I've trained myself to relax and be able to use my upper body.
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.
I happened to be spotted by a modeling agent who offered me a part-time job at 16. Everything happened very quickly after that - advertising campaigns, fashion shows, editorial shoots.
Nick Knight was my first big gig as a 'real' model. Prior to and during 'ANTM,' I never actually called myself a model because I always viewed it as a hobby.
If I tried to start modeling right now, I wouldn't be a supermodel because it's all about celebrity.
Modeling is a job. Even my mum doesn't believe that I do work hard.
I have never been a professional model; I have had some modeling sessions.
If you're a model, you're paid to be a muse.
When I came out of school I didn't even think that modeling was a job.
I was shopping with my mother in 2006 and saw that there was a model casting going on. A couple of months later, I was one of the fifteen finalists in an international contest.
I think I would like to go into modelling. Of course, I don't know how to do it, and wouldn't be any good at it if I did, so I'm going to employ someone to walk the catwalks on my behalf. It would still be me, of course.
I had already been approached to do modeling, but in the beginning, I didn't want to hear of it. Then, after two months of delivering pizza, I changed my mind, and I presented myself at the agency.
I went to a local modeling school when I was about 10 and learned to walk the runway.
My mom used to be a model.
I modeled a little bit in Georgia growing up. I did catalogs and different things, but then when I came to L.A., I became a professional model. It sounds kind of crazy, but in L.A. was when I was able to start making a living from modeling.
My sister Gloria asked me to try modeling.
I modeled for 4 years before I felt like I had my big break.
I actually wanted to become a model agent, and went into what ended up becoming my first agency for a job interview. They ended up suggesting I model instead. I guess I sort of fell into it.
I was never a model-y model. I was doing it as a job, but people didn't even know I was a model.
