In Paris, I Rent A Bike In

Realization That I Couldn't Be A Ballet Dancer Was A Blessing In Disguise Because That Was The First Time I Felt Like I Stepped Into Adulthood. I Realized, Okay, This Is Not Going To Work Out. It Was Frustrating For About A Year Because I Didn't Know What To Do With The Creativity And The Discipline That Dancing Had Instilled In Me From A Very Young Age. But Then I Moved To Paris To Model, And That Was My Cultural Awakening. Now, I Think Dancing Has Been The Biggest Thing In My Life, Much More So Than Modeling, And It Still Helps Me Enormously In My Work.

Looking Back At It Now, I Really Feel Like It Was A Gift Because I Don’t Know If I Have The Talent To Become A Prima Ballerina. It’s Such A Hard Job To Have. I Don’t Have Any Regrets About It.

The Ultimate Art Form Of Fashion Is Couture. I Completely Geek Out When It Comes To Couture. It Shows Fashion As It Used To Be. I Don't Know How Many People Can Actually Afford The Clothes, But In A Way, That's Beside The Point.

The Reason I Stopped Modeling Was Because I Wasn't Pleased With Trying To Portray Something That Is Impossible To Reach. Even When I Do Photo Shoots Now For Films, I'm Just Not Interested In Trying To Look My Best All The Time Anymore. That Pursuit Of An Impossible Perfection Seems Ridiculous To Me Now. I'd Rather Show My Vulnerabilities Or My Doubts Than Try To Be Something That No One Is.

Brad Pitt Seems To Have No Problem Getting Parts That He Wants, Nor Does Angelina Jolie. Not That I'm Saying I Look Like Either Of Them, But I Just Don't Think That It Has Anything To Do With That. It's The Emotions Or Characters You Are Able To Take On That Will Get You Work, Not Necessarily The Way You Look. Obviously, Beauty Can Open Doors - It Is Hollywood, After All - But That's Not Enough.
