I never set out to be a role model for large women, I just do what I feel is right.
I am a free man. I do not need to copy Petrarca or Boccaccio. My own genius is enough. Let others worry themselves about style, and so cease to be themselves. Without a master, without a model, without a guide, I go to work and earn my living, my well-being and my fame.
I did model for a little while part-time, but I wasn’t a bloody model, and I am definitely not that horrible thing ‘model-turned-actress.’

Be a good reading role model. Show kids what you like to read, what you don’t like to read, how you choose what you read. Let them see you reading.
Me and Kylie are sisters, but not everything we can always do together. She’s not trying to be a model. She’s trying to be more like a personality. We’re trying to kind of separate ourselves – not in a bad way!
I have made a film about jazz that tries to look through jazz to see what it tells us about who we are as a people. I think that jazz is a spectacularly accurate model of democracy and a kind of look into our redemptive future possibilities.
I have never been a professional model; I have had some modeling sessions.
I am a vigilant monarchist. I want to see things evolve. The direction the monarchy seems to be moving in – towards a more mainland-European model – is one I would feel sympathetic about.

I realise that every time my face is on TV or I’m playing in a tournament, that I am a role model for a lot of people and a lot of kids do look up to me. I try to do my best in that regard and put myself across as honestly and as modestly as possible, as well.
I don’t have a model’s body. But I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m okay with what I have. I can rock this body, you know?

It’s an audacious thing to build a model of the cosmos. It’s exciting how little we know.
A woman can be very beautiful and an ideal model and she will photograph incredibly well, but she’ll appear in film and it won’t work. What works is some fusion of physical beauty with some mental field or whatever you call it. I don’t know.
If it weren’t for my education, I truly wouldn’t be as successful at my job as a model.
Music is your own talent and is an important tool. Even if you don’t want to be a role model, get ready to be in the public eye. Energy is there, you just have to use it.
