Quotes
"Coming from a barely clothed childhood as a swimmer makes me really comfortable with my body."
"I really wanted to go to the Olympics, but everyone wanted me to model for them, so I said what the hell, why not!"
"If I can't use my beauty now, I'm never going to be able to. This is the way I'm going to get myself to a position where it isn't a factor."
