What Makes A Person Is

I Make Many Mistakes. Many Mistakes. I'm Not A Perfect Human Being. I Have To Learn From My Mistakes. And A Lot Of The Ones I've Made Have Been Public. So I Always Get Nervous When People Speak About Something That Sounds Like A Role Model, Because I Don't Know If I've Been A Great Role Model Myself.

I've Been Doing My Job Well For 17 Years. People Must See Something In Me. Otherwise, I'd Be Over And Out.

Patrick Demarchelier Was The One Who Got Me My First Vogue Cover. It Was French Vogue - I Think In ’87 Or ’88. I Think I Was The First Black Model To Be On The Cover Of French Vogue, Which Was Shocking To Me Because When I Asked Them About It, They Were Like, "oh, No. We’ve Never Had That Before."

I Live My Life Day By Day, And That's How I Continue To Live It.

I'm Not Angry. And I Don't Like The Thing Of The 'angry Black Woman,' Either.
