When I Was A Model, Actually, For A Little While, My Friend That I Worked With A Lot, She Had Horrible Self-esteem Too. We Decided That The Exact Moment When We Actually Thought We Were Attractive, We Wouldn't Be Anymore. We Would Just, Like, Miss It.

My Parents Are Both From Vermont, Very Old-fashioned New England. We Heated Our House With Wood My Father Chopped. My Mom Grew All Of Our Food. We Were Very Underexposed To Everything.
