As long as I'm not living out of a suitcase, I'm happy.
I always love going to Paris, and now I feel like I know it really well.
Before I started modeling, I had never been out of the country, and now I feel like I'm out of the country at least a few times a month, if not once a week.
My brother was diagnosed with autism, so it's something that hits close to home. And as I got older - especially when I started modeling and being in the city - I wanted to do help. I became involved with Autism Speaks.
I also want to try acting - give it a shot - maybe take some lessons, I think that could be fun. I feel like that could even help me with modeling, because in a way you have to act.
Im boyish with a feminine twist. I definitely gravitate toward oversized things like shirts and jackets. I like a good trouser, but then I might mix it up with something more feminine, like a pointy boot or pumps.
Comfort is definitely important to me, especially when Im running around.
It's always nice when someone reaches out and says, "I have an autistic brother," or "I have someone else." Some people are really sweet and they're like, "Aw, you're my role model, thank you for doing this." This is why I do it. I want to use being involved in this Autism Speaks charity and take advantage of my contacts in order to raise awareness. It's something I've been wanting to do for so long.
I do love editorials - youre free to do whatever you want and portray a different character.
I'm actually working on with Autism Speaks. Since my brother's 18, I wanted to work on a program for these older kids. A lot of the schools' special education programs end when the kids are 21, like my brother's school. What is next for these kids? I want him to be constantly active, and not just sitting at home. I want him to be constantly growing and it would be amazing if the funds could go to something like jobs for these kids, or a home where they can be together.
I'm looking into different parts of Autism Speaks. There's a lot of focus on the first, early diagnosis of younger kids, which is amazing, but I'm wondering, what about these older kids? What happens with them? So I would like to try to find something that fits that.
