When you’re in your 20s, there’s maybe a little room for you to not be at the top of your artistic game, if you look good on a magazine cover. When you’re not on the cover of the magazines anymore, then you realize that the work has to be great.

Christa McAuliffe

I’m 5’3”, and not often you get to see that in a magazine. I think that what is so cool about ‘Sports Illustrated’ is it’s all different body shapes, all difference sizes.

Alexa Ray Joel
