I was amazed at the support that I got when I was in there. And when I came out people knew that I was back on track. I was interested in working again.
It's not what my job is about. I'm not out to make a political statement. I want to stand for something, but more by example.
I'm probably an average hitter, at least, and if you talk to my peers, they will tell you that I hit the ball plenty far enough.
Why would I be embarrassed about being Canadian? I'm very proud. We're just the nicest people. Everyone likes us.
The Monster Ball is by nature a protest: A youth church experience to speak out and celebrate against all forms of discrimination + prejudice.
I take a multivitamin, vitamin D, and omega-3 oils every day, and if I'm stressed or run- down, I bulk up on vitamin C and zinc.
I like a very sexy silhouette, and I like to feel like when you put something on, you zip yourself into it, and you're secure in there.
You can celebrate the female form in comfort. We left corsets behind in the dark ages, so why bring them back now?
I never eat where the hotel recommends. I do my own research and then try the most highly rated options.
You can't just come from Kansas, go into fashion and be all naive. The fashion world is very different to where I'm from.
Some people are born to lift heavy weights, some are born to juggle golden balls.
I also take vitamins because I think when you take care of yourself on the inside it makes a big difference in your skin.
While it's nice to appreciate the fashion world... what makes you happy are real relationships and the moments you share with loved ones.
You are travelling in hyper-speed on a big ball into nothingness. Yet you are still wondering where you are going in life?
He who looks in the crystal ball ends up eating glass... They're way, way close.
I was shopping with my mother in 2006 and saw that there was a model casting going on. A couple of months later, I was one of the fifteen finalists in an international contest.
It's strange for my friends when they see me on TV and in magazines, because the person that they see doing interviews and pictures on the red carpet is not the person that they know.
A person who learns to juggle six balls will be more skilled than the person who never tries to juggle more than three.
For some reason, it popped into my head the notion that a lot of the Next Generation cast in the long run of that show managed to step behind the camera.
I went from not knowing anything to becoming really curious and wanting to know and respecting people in the industry, realizing how hard they work. I will always be thankful for 'Top Model' for that.
I like a guy who is confident and easy-going, but a man who's a man, not a man who is a little boy. I like a man who is comfortable with himself.
