Quotes
“It really annoys me that people think every model has an eating disorder, and every model is dumb. Most of the girls are naturally skinny, like me. I don’t have to watch what I eat. I love eating! Especially ice-cream and salty snacks.”
“I love buying random things. I can’t even walk into a place without leaving with something I definitely won’t need.”
“I played the piano when I was young, but after a while I became bored playing all those classical pieces. Now I’m quite good and I pick out some songs that I hear on the radio, and I find it a marvelous concentration exercise.”
