Having children really changes your priorities.
Fashion is social commentary, but to me, it's the whimsy of it and how women and men use clothes to express themselves. It should be fun and when it stops being fun, that's when I put my jeans and my T-shirt on and then that's your uniform.
How many girls, models or not, are secure about their bodies? I think I'm more realistic about what to expect of myself now. I also have a lot of other things than modeling going on in my life that I'm proud of.
I just want to be a nice girl from the Midwest - I don't want to have to act like a heavy to be taken seriously, and I resent that I have to be so pushy and political sometimes just to do my job.
I've tried and failed a lot. But I've also tried to be really clear about my brand. It is who I am. I'm a mum, I'm a wife, I'm 44 and from the Midwest.
Fashion and style is just that. Fashion and style. It's not brain surgery.
I used the Deep Cleansing Masque on my wedding day because I wanted everything - including my complexion - to be perfect!
I don't think makeup is rocket science or a cure for cancer.
I married someone whom I was close friends with first. I think that was a really good move.
You leak sometimes. My pediatrician said, 'Can't you just wear pads under your clothes?' I said, 'You don't know the kind of clothes I wear on photo shoots.'
Being a nice girl from the Mid-West, my inclination is always to give in and say yes because I want people to like me.
As a mother, I always have something better to be doing. I love work still, but I'm less tolerant of my time being wasted.
It's become another dimension to who I am. I don't think Sports Illustrated is going to be wanting me. But who cares? I'm at a different place in my life.
In the studio, I do try to have a thought in my head, so that it's not like a blank stare.
It's a huge change for your body. You don't even want to look in the mirror after you've had a baby, because your stomach is just hanging there like a Shar-Pei.
Being on set with my daughter watching her in front of the camera was a fantastic experience. I am so proud of her.
Richard doesn't really like me to kill bugs, but sometimes I can't help it.
