I Look At Modeling As Something I'm

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'm Determined, And I'm Passionate And Driven About Whatever I Commit Myself To Do. If I Don't Know Something, I'm Going To Ask, And I've Got No Problems In Asking Questions. I Never Have. People Ask Me, "are You Nervous When You Go On The Runway? You Don't Look It." Yes, I Am.

I Loved Watching So Many Of The Great Designers I've Worked With Do What They Do. That's Why I'm Still Loyal To The Designers That I've Known Since I Was 16.

I've Never Known My Real Father, And I've Never Looked For A Father Figure In A Boyfriend, But I Suppose I Have Looked For Real Father Figures In My Life - And I've Acquired More Than One. I Certainly Couldn't Ask For Better Ones. I Love Them Enormously - And They Know That.
