Now that I work as a professional model, I advise people to stay away from any television shows. It's a waste of your time; it's just entertainment. It's not the fashion that we now know.

Basically, I didnt know anything about fashion. I was very nerdy; I went to Bryn Mawr and never even noticed models when I was 21.

I want people to recognize me for the work I do now as a model, and not something I did three years ago.

I hear a lot of Top Model girls say they are dismissed by clients because they recognize them, but it never happened to me.

I want to make a name for myself.

Poetry is a storm asking peace to dance with her.

America may be unique in being a country which has leapt from barbarism to decadence without touching civilization.

Obviously we're a consumer nation and you have the power to influence these big corporations who are running the world right now through what you chose to, or not to, purchase.

It's literally murder on the dancefloor.

A belief is not true simply because it is useful.

Poverty entails fear and stress and sometimes depression. It means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships.

In the name of Annah the Allmaziful, the Everliving, the Bringer of Plurabilities, haloed be her eve, her singtime sung, her rill be run, unhemmed as it is uneven!

I find that we are all such sinners that it is better to leave the judging to God.

The movies I make tend not to be quite reality but the characters are inspired by real people and they're always very personal.

The fewer the voices on the side of truth, the more distinct and strong must be your own.
