I was a good kid. My parents laid rules out for me, and I followed them.

I feel beautiful when I'm at peace with myself. When I'm serene, when I'm a good person, when I've been considerate of others.

I always hang up my own dresses. It is a good lesson in appreciation and in always remembering that you're part of a team, not outside of the team, but with the team and on the team.

It makes me happy when my sons come home and tell me, 'We bumped into Donatella and she says hi.'

I love living with animals. And my children love animals. I love walking around and being with the horses. But the deer? They're naughty.

Probably the most important piece of advice that I've ever gotten is to develop your mind. I left school very young and I always regretted it.

The art isn't there to be purchased - it's there to be enjoyed.

I would like to see fewer actors modeling, or if they're going to model to the extent that they are modeling, then I think that models should be actors.

I always had difficulty as a model just being myself. I can be very shy, and I used to have a lot of anxiety about working on set.

When you sign yourself up for what you're doing, you have to take care of yourself.

I wanted to be a fashion designer.

I don't know why I got so lucky. I have to pinch myself often and say, 'Is this just a dream?'

If you pick something you actually enjoy doing, you have fun every day of your life.

I'm going to be 80, walking with a stick down the runway.

So everyone has that problem, models have that problem, too.

Every couple goes through things.

Children are very addicting. Once they start growing up, you miss when they were little.

I always try to make my things happen.

I always did feel beautiful when I was pregnant, but I do feel more me when I'm my normal size.
