I think modelling is a very difficult thing. It's glamorous and fun, but underneath it all, you know your flaws, and those are what you focus on.
I started as a model when I was 14 because I wanted to make money.
Sometimes, if I see a picture and I can make it a bit better, then I will, like everyone else does. I've been Photoshopped in every picture since I started modelling.
Modelling is very two-dimensional. You really don't have to bare anything.
I started modelling from the age of 16, and within three years, I was bored and decided to shift to films. But I love modelling because it gave me independence.
I remember, when I was modelling in Japan, the agency would tell us that some guy wanted to take all the girls out to dinner, and I would be the one girl who didn't go - I didn't want to go out with a stranger.
I didn't like being a model. It feels weird to stand in your knickers in front of people you aren't married to.
Modelling is no better or worse than many other professions, but it is more obvious, more accessible.
I think modelling was like the university of life, really. You get to travel but you get thrown into this adult world, which is kind of quite scary.
I did modelling for five years, then I felt I wanted to do something different and challenging.
When I was young, I used to tell my mum that she had to get me on the TV, but then modelling just sort of happened.
Modelling killed me.
I know people will think it's funny because I've done glamour modelling in the past, but I felt embarrassed about my body and just wanted to cover it up.
I loved the travel but I didn't love the work. I mean, come on, modelling is only so stimulating!
If I ever modelled for Calvin Klein I'd give myself to a flock of fans to beat me silly with a baseball bat.
We have to come into this industry so young, and you have to learn to take it as it is. I was scouted at 14, started modelling at 15, and lived in New York at 16.
To be a good model, I'd need a lot more confidence... and more confidence to be more bare.
When I was 49, I posed for Playboy - I was very flattered to be asked. I was quite honoured, really, considering that most of the models they feature are in their twenties.
My modelling career is about hard work.
When I started modelling, I'd raise my arms and it was all muscle and all the other models had nothing. Really, everybody thought I was a man. I don't have to do much to have muscles. It's just genetic.
When I first started out modelling, I was binding my chest at gigs to make sure my physique was able to be 'passable' as male. But now, I never bind. It's highly unsafe and unhealthy.
Kate Moss is the best thing since Jean Shrimpton, really.
When I decided to go to L.A. I said I was going to quit modelling and just go and see how I do. In the first two weeks I got three movies. I was so excited I had all my furniture shipped out from New York.
I don't think modelling is a career I'm going to pursue.
With modelling, there's nothing to work on other than losing weight. I definitely had an eating disorder.
