  1. “In a couture runway show or be the face of the Dior campaigns globally or on the cover of magazines. It was before the kind of global connectivity we have now. So I kind of was able to have a very, very normal real life.”

  2. “Sure, I had this kind of double life. I was 15 years old and very much figuring out who I am, what, you know, in high school, I mean, you're figuring out a lot of things. And like I said, I was a 5'11, 15 year old. So that came with its own set of challenges. I don't know, I guess I had this double life and I would be in school have a very normal day in class sitting in the school lunchroom with my friends, with my peers, and then I would get on a flight to Paris or New York a couple days a week. I really had this full-time job even as a freshman in high school. So I had this double life and it was before social media. So none of my friends or teachers really knew to the extent of what I was doing. So I would go to Paris and walk.”

  3. “The right place at the right time, and I had this window of opportunity and I ran for it. And I have an amazing family who was by my side every step of the way. I mean, starting a career at 15 is, I think there's pitfalls to that, just the nature of being 15 and having a lot of pressure on you. So for me, I had a lot of luck and the right people around me. And I think a lot of young women who want to go into modeling or work in fashion, that's not always the case.”

  4. “Sure, I mean, I think there's a lot of misconceptions, and I think there's a lot of generalizations around the fashion industry, around the modeling industry. And I can only speak to my experience, but I've had just a really positive experience as a model. Like I said, it's been my key to the world. I've been able to travel the world. I have more frequent fire miles than most CEOs. And I've been able to see the world and learn so much, learn from so many brilliant people. And so, you know, I've used it to my advantage. I think that there are aspects of the industry that are really challenging. I think a lot of people tell you no. There's a lot of competition. Like you said, I mean, there's so many beautiful people. There's a lot of luck. And I feel like for me, in my Cinderella story, I feel like I was in.”

  5. “And so, anyway, so I was 15 years old, and I got this opportunity to go to New York for the weekend and meet the designers of Calvin Klein, and they booked me. And I walked in their fashion show, and it completely kind of put me on the map as a new up-and-coming model. And it just was, it's been a wild ride ever since that day in the mall when I was stopped.”

  6. “I grew up in the Midwest and my Childhood, and at 13 I was stopped in a mall and asked if I would be interested in walking in a fashion show. At the time, not only did I not care about, it just wasn't my life, fashion. I mean, I didn't even subscribe to magazines. I was focusing on school. I was focusing on ballet, academics, and sports. And so anyway, this idea of modeling was totally not even in my mind. And so I didn't enter this with the ambition of building a career and modeling. I was stopped in a mall at 13, walked in a local charity fashion show to raise money for a local family whose friend's father, her dad had cancer. So it was this charity benefit. And there were scouts there from real agencies. And they took my name and said, let's stay in touch. I grew a couple inches fast forward to when I'm 15. How tall?”

  7. “Start with like Sure. I mean, honestly, Tim, I feel like I'm living my own version of a Cinderella story or an American dream. I mean, I have been able to travel the world and have been able to learn from the most extraordinary people. I'm sitting here with you talking. I mean, this is, I feel like I'm living a dream every day. You know, I certainly did not anticipate going into fashion or being a model. I had a very different kind of career path in mind. I had this opportunity and I took it.”

  8. “I mean, you certainly mentioned one, Kathy Ireland. There's a long list. Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Giselle, many women who are in the industry and have used their platform or voice or experiences to build businesses or to make meaningful impact in the world, in whatever way they're passionate about. And for me, that is success. I don't know. Yeah, I did not anticipate working in fashion or being a model, but I recognized somewhere along the line that there's so much more you can do with it. And the women who have come before me certainly have proved that.”
