Quoted

“I must admit, I did think that eating as much as you want and then throwing it up seemed like a good solution. I quickly discovered how hard it is on your body. You can't do that long-term.”

Sunday Times (October 21, 2007)

“I'm often booked for my heavy eyebrows - they are what people talk about. I'm not a blonde bombshell. I don't usually steal the centre of attention.”

Sunday Times (October 21, 2007)

“Models might be worshipped, but we're also always being cancelled for jobs - which implies you're ugly. It can be really tough, but I don't take the compliments seriously. The most important task is handling the attention.”

Sunday Times (October 21, 2007)
