I don't have a specific favorite product, but I deep condition my hair regularly. When I can, I'll avoid heat styling and wear my hair in a bun.

Getting a divorce is always horrible because you feel you've failed. Everyone hates to give up on a marriage. You think your family's broken up.

There are a lot of good arguments for birth control, but as far as terminating a life that has already come into existence, I haven't found any.

You have to be a model and multifaceted, but there's not a lot of ways for a model to be multifaceted because the actresses took all the covers.

When people ask how have I kept on top, I have to say with the help of every photographer, make-up artist and hairdresser I've ever worked with.

I want to spend as much time as possible with my children, so I always like to keep my beauty and fashion routines effortless... but still chic!

I'm Christian. Growing up in Ethiopia, it's half-Christian and half-Muslim. You grow up with Muslim kids. I'm very much aware of their religion.

I want to seem completely bare. Especially when I'm reading for a role. I want to reveal myself in the audition room. That's where I'm happiest.

I'm doing my best to raise my son and give him a nurturing, loving, and caring environment so he can grow up and be the best version of himself.

This does not come naturally. I have to work out 60 to 90 minutes at least five days a week and stick to a high- fiber, low-calorie eating plan.

I have amazing parents. They had worked hard all their lives for me, and when I started to make money, I wanted to be able to take care of them.

If I do something, I want to be the best. And one of the best things you can be is a Victoria's Secret Angel; for me, that's always been a goal.

There is makeup, there is hair, and there is the perfect light. There is a whole team that gets you to get that perfect picture. It's a fantasy.

If you're doing live-action, you have to learn how to actually do whatever it is that you're doing. If you're doing voice-over, you can fake it.

I missed out on everything. Sometimes on the street I see teenagers hanging out and going to the movies, going to concerts, and I get so jealous.

It has been crazy and amazing. I had never thought I would work with Akshay and Rajinikant and would get to associate with these talented people.

I remember tap-dancing and singing in front of the TV when I was a kid, telling my dad to stop watching Ed Sullivan or Milton Berle and watch me.

As a kid, you get to the stage where you realise the gender barriers that exist in society and what you're supposed to do and not supposed to do.

I work out not to lose weight but to maintain my good health. And anyway, if I did want to lose weight, it would be no one's decision but my own.

I believe that mink are raised for being turned into fur coats. And if we didn't wear fur coats, those little animals would never have been born!

I feel like having a positive attitude in life is going to change the world. If we could all have a good attitude, we could really make a change.

Because my friends and family are real people, and they wear all sizes, I couldn't imagine designing something that my loved ones could not wear.

Most difficult is the labeling by other people that models are empty-headed bodies. I think if you look for negativity, you can find it anywhere.

Everyone says, 'You give birth, you go home, and you have this amazing baby and it's just beautiful'. And I walked in and I just started sobbing.

If you think about it now, it's kind of ridiculous. All these hot girls on Baywatch in tiny little red bathing suits running around saving lives.

I just learn from other people. And I try to get strengths from other people and the things they do, the things they can overcome in their lives.

Adopting a really positive attitude can work wonders to adding years to your life, a spring to your step, a sparkle to your eye, and all of that.

They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, Oh my God, I have to be so brave. See, every woman hates herself from behind.

As a small child me and my pals fantasised about one day owning an ice-cream van. To have ice creams on demand would have been a dream come true.

I'm a sexually liberated woman that earned that liberation. I am very proud of the fact that I feel comfortable in certain forums discussing sex.

I don't know Bill Clinton as someone who needs to literally sexually harass a woman. I'm sure that he could have found many willing participants.

When I came to America, I was really into all the things people eat here. . . . People called me Muffin because I would eat muffins all the time.

It is terribly important to do certain things, such as wear overembroidered dresses. After all, the mass follows class. Class never follows mass.

I'm the female Simon Cowell. He said I'm the scariest woman he's ever met. I asked him why he never dated me, and he said I was too intimidating.

I want a man who isn't questioning who he is. I want a man to be able to stand next to me and not disappear and not be emasculated by my success.

I'm still figuring out why people would want to look at me. Maybe it's generic beauty, but it's weird to be valued for something I was born with.

I did as much research as I could and I took ownership of this illness, because if you don't take care of your body, where are you going to live?

Obviously there are going to be a lot of skeptics. I only hope I can prove them wrong and give the idea of model-slash-anything a genuine chance.

I've learned so many things and a lot of things I've learned the hard way. I look at failure as education in that respect I'm very well educated.

College was a wonderful time to really explore my interests. I ended up writing my senior thesis about gender inequality in the developing world.

Maybe I've had a sheltered life and career, but I have so many role models to look up to. It's normal that I would strive to build my own career.

I went from the glamour of working with Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano to living on an isolated hilltop, with my husband gone most of the time.

I think modelling is a very difficult thing. It's glamorous and fun, but underneath it all, you know your flaws, and those are what you focus on.

At the end of the day, I'm not a model, I'm an actor. I didn't want to be a model for a brand - I wanted to be a spokesperson and to collaborate.

I'm not looking to be a trophy. When not acting, I spend my time studying metaphysics and quantum mechanics to keep my life as grounded as I can.

Interactions - whether personal or business, teacher-student, friend to friend, or family member - all call for balance, respect, and compassion.

I remember my mom saying that after you have a baby you get really thin. So you gain all that weight and then you just lose it and keep losing it.

Before a shoot, I'll watch what I eat. During the shoot, I watch what I eat. Afterwards, the first thing I do is go have a steak and French fries.

I think that we can't deny the public's want for balancing out the images that are out there depicting women. Not all of us are 17 and a size two.

I'm thinking of slowing down on modeling and branching out to other things. I want to pursue some new and old dreams and start making them happen.
