Quoted

“I’m 22. I feel like I’m 45 sometimes.”

Backstage at Flare cover shoot

“In 2003, I changed; I was stronger and I was more sure of myself. I wanted to work again, above all to finance my art studies. I called IMG and returned to New York. Three days later, I did Marc Jacobs' fashion show and a week later I worked for Steven Meisel for Prada.”

British Vogue (August 17, 2006)
