We need to support these women who are in crisis pregnancy situations.
I intentionally built a business that has absolutely nothing to do with appearance.
My faith is important. I have nothing without it.
Our mission began with finding solutions for families, especially busy moms.
I work with wonderful people who support me. And, my beliefs are that the business needs to serve the family rather than the family serve the business.
Modeling was another job like some of the other ones I had. Working as a cashier, I delivered newspapers, I worked in a retirement home feeding elderly people. . . so I never stopped and thought about, boy, I'm a successful model.
So many young people say, 'I'm just going to see what happens.' It's so much more powerful to make things happen and have a plan.
I won't give up my day job of design.
I made the intentional choice to step behind the camera.
There are a lot of good arguments for birth control, but as far as terminating a life that has already come into existence, I haven't found any.
I always ask the question, "Is this what I want in my life?
I know that I've been blessed in many ways, and I was fortunate enough to travel the world and meet a lot of interesting people. But I never felt that the modeling career was all that important.
Is it all right for the government to allow the murder of an innocent human being? From the moment of conception, a new life comes into being with a complete genetic blueprint. The sex is determined. The blood type is determined. The moment that I learned the unborn was not part of the woman's body but its own individual human being, I have no choice but to defend the most vulnerable among us.
Maintain a good balance. A personal life adds dimensions to your professional life and vice versa. It helps nurture creativity through a deeper understanding of yourself.
