self-esteem loneliness issues
Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.
always-trying people want
I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth.
jobs taken years
I've been offered jobs by companies that supported apartheid many times in the 25 years of my modeling career, but I have never taken one of them. I have to refuse that money, because I'm not going to work against my people. They've suffered enough.
checks talk-to-me lipstick
Check your lipstick before you come and talk to me.
talking editors different
I do feel that I'm talking to someone who's in a totally different place from where I was when I started modeling. I was fortunate enough to have the wonderful designers and amazing photographers around me, and editors that I knew, and if I wanted to ask a question, I asked them. So that gap has broadened a bit.
asking-questions people looks
I'm determined, and I'm passionate and driven about whatever I commit myself to do. If I don't know something, I'm going to ask, and I've got no problems in asking questions. I never have. People ask me, "Are you nervous when you go on the runway? You don't look it." Yes, I am.
flower dresses underwear
If I'm wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?
work-out drink now-and-then
I never diet. I smoke. I drink now and then. I never work out.
skirts ankles tights
The worst was when my skirt fell down to my ankles, but I had on thick tights underneath.
way ifs loses
Am I bossy? Absolutely. I don't like to lose, and if I'm told 'no', then I find another way to get my 'yes.'
disappear feels
I don't get depressed. When I feel an attack, I withdraw. I disappear, I replenish, and then I come back.
looks ability deals
What makes a person is the ability to look at themselves and deal with their own lives.
flower dresses underwear
I don't always wear underwear. When I'm in the heat, especially, I can't wear it. Like, if I'm wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?
emotion temper
Everyone has a temper. A temper is an emotion.
