There was a solid six-month period where I was going out on castings and I was laughed out of the room because I'm much more petite than other models.

If somebody were to feel the necessity to reduce themselves to a desperate state to achieve what they perceive to be their goals in life, people who work in fashion, who are models or photographers, shouldn't be judged because of untoward acts of others. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango.

I would never blame an actor for taking on a role. The only time that I think I have to question why someone's doing something is when they're either mocking or trivializing the events that occurred or making it more sensational than it was.

Because of the way I am built I photograph taller than I actually am; it's an optical illusion. The way you're naturally built is not something you can fake - you either photograph taller or you don't.

If you're going to go out, I'd recommend the Boom Boom Room. That seems to be the hot spot that everyone's hitting up during Fashion Week.

Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream - I heard about it from Michelle Trachtenberg, who got it from someone who used to do Madonna's makeup. I swear by this product. If I get any kind of scar or burn, this stuff heals it. It really does work like magic.

Generally I prefer to stay indoors and workout at the gym, but I love to be active and go hiking, do anything and everything.

Like, if you're not confident in yourself, then you can't really look good on the outside.
