“I was definitely living fast. I was working, traveling a lot, playing. I didn’t stop. It all became unbalanced.”

Modeling is a job. Even my mum doesn’t believe that I do work hard.

A lot of horrible, unfair, untrue things have been said about me. I can only say that the best revenge is a success.

No phone, a movie, a glass of wine, and some salad. Perfect!

What people say isn’t going to stop me. I have to do things for myself.

I just haven’t found anyone that I want to spend long periods of time with..

It’s a sin to be tired.

I’m not a show-off by nature.

If you’re beautiful inside it shows on the outside.

I don’t like doing pictures as myself. I like to be made into someone else.

I am not a fashion freak!

You have to be yourself, as models come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

It’s important to accessorise. I always turn to the scarves, hats and sunglasses. But wearing too many accessories at once can look very bad.

My favourite flowers are English country roses – I had a bouquet of them for my wedding.

Even if I wore a hat and a wig, you can always tell it’s me.

I want to live my life in a way that when I get really old, I look back at my life and say: aaah I lived it, not survived it.

Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life

Love is like a ship that needs balance to help you reach your destination.

It takes a lot of physical and spiritual energy to balance on one wheel. Seen?

Minimalism makes life feel more balanced and more satisfying.

We balance probabilities and choose the most likely. It is the scientific use of the imagination.

To be coordinated with the power of balance, your mind and your temple must be running parallel.

I make music that I know that people will enjoy, and balance the ideas and philosophy that we put in music with music that when we play it live, people can move to it and groove to it.

If you’re interested in ‘balancing’ work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable.
