I will continue to be intelligent, I vowed, no matter how beautiful I become.

Nothing ages as poorly as a beautiful woman's ego.

Beauty can get a woman what she wants: love and money. But when beauty leaves you, so can the things it brought.

Beauty, unlike the rest of the gifts handed out at birth, does not require dedication, patience and hard work to pay off. But it's also the only gift that does not keep on giving.

My first recognition of age setting in was exactly on my 36th birthday. I have no idea why, on this day of all days, I looked in the mirror and realized my face no longer looked young.

My boyfriend thinks I lost my true calling to be a librarian.

I was fired by 'America's Next Top Model' on my birthday.

When I model, I pretty much blank. You can't think too much or it doesn't work.

The real bummer of fame is that at some point you're bound to get demoted.

I have now spent over a year trying to figure where in the workplace I belong.

The greatest risk to man is not that he aims too high and misses, but that he aims too low and hits.

Living a lifetime is experiment.

Music is a vehicle that propels me and so many other people toward a place we might call grace.

I don't say: 'can't do that', 'won't do that'. I've never thought in that way about work.

[Adolf] Hitler needed, he didn't want to kill Jews, he wanted to expel German Jews, and therefore it's not entirely corroborating your theory.

A woman finds it much easier to do ill than well. [Lat., Mulieri nimio male facere melius est onus, quam bene.]

Receive the children in reverence, educate them in love, and send them forth in freedom.

Memory is a fascinating trickster. Words and images have enormous power and can easily displace actual experience over the years.

How strange or odd some'er I bear myself, As I perchance hereafter shall think meet To put an antic disposition on.

There are men in the world who derive an exaltation from the proximity of disaster and ruin, as other from success.
