levels connections world
I met with Karl Lagerfeld, and if you have those kind of connections, that takes you into that world and puts you on that level.
growing-up thinking awkward
I think everyone has their awkward phases. Growing up isn't easy for everyone.
ideas president want
For me, I want a president who is more than a symbol, someone who has ideas that I align with.
mean sexuality
We are more than just our bodies, but that doesn't mean we have to be shamed for them or our sexuality.
mom attitude thinking
I started modeling when I was - not older, but not 12. I have a mom who's a feminist, she's an English professor, an intellectual. She really gave me the equipment to understand that you can celebrate yourself without putting yourself down or needing to apologize for the way you look. I think that attitude is really crucial for a model.
believe enjoy enjoy-yourself
You're a woman, enjoy yourself, and believe that you can do things.
thinking important body
The way we are annoying them, being playful and having a good time with our body - it's something very important for young women today to have that confidence. I think it's actually celebrating women and their bodies.
stupid guy
A woman talks about having sex, and it's like, well, a guy got to have sex with you, so you're stupid. You've given something up.
When a woman who is sexual takes off her top, it plays into something.
I'm more of a Smithwick's or Bulmer's girl than a pint of Guinness.
attention
A woman can be seeking attention and also make a statement.They don't need to be mutually exclusive.
school high-school hometown
I was born in London and lived there until I was five. We traveled a lot. But really San Diego is my hometown. It's where I went to high school.
believe enjoy good
I think I had really good parents. I got really lucky. They said, 'You're a woman; enjoy yourself and believe that you can do things.'
joy hearing albums
It's like never hearing a Joy Division album or something. I'm finally watching Twin Peaks, and I'm so into it.
