In parts of the world where basic infrastructures like paved roads and transportation systems are underdeveloped, people walk for days to reach a health care provider.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
We're living in miraculous times where connections are made at the blink of an eye, the tap of a thumb, and the click of a mouse. We can never replace human interaction, but these simple actions can be powerful and meaningful to those we connect with.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
Even though Haitian women are considered the 'poto mitan' - the 'central pillars' of the family and their communities - they are often the most underserved members of already poor communities.

May is the month when people focus on mothers more than any other time of year.

When 1970s feminism hit the United States, women demanded the right to natural childbirth and to have their husband or another support person in the delivery room. My mother gave birth to me during this time.

Quote by -Christy Turlington
Walking strengthens my legs, and I swing my arms to tone my upper body.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
I was really gangly and uncoordinated as a kid. I couldn't even do a cartwheel.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
I haven't left modeling completely; I just took a step out, and I now have the rare luxury of picking and choosing how to spend my days.
Quote by -Christy Turlington

Quote by -Christy Turlington
I almost had to exhaust myself at modeling before I could say, 'O.K., I'm ready for school.'
Quote by -Christy Turlington
Getting older is baggage for so many people but I don't spend time on things I can't control. Wrinkles don't scare me; they're a part of life, and I will and do embrace them, but I look at surgery, and that scares me.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
I remember doing a shoot for Herb Ritts, hanging off the Eiffel Tower - that wasn't your usual day at the office. It was terrifying, and in the end, you couldn't really tell how high I was because the photographer was scared of heights, so he was quite far away from me.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
When I was 18, and my looks were what I was - and all that I was - it did feel very limiting.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
You know, all these sentiments about beauty coming from within, they've always resonated when I've read them, but it takes a bit of living to truly appreciate them. To realise we are so much more than our experiences, that we are who we are because of the lessons we've learnt, now that's what true 'beauty' is for me.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
I have good skin, but it's dry - drier than you would think, considering I have Latin skin. It's fairly transparent, too, so I'm constantly trying to give it nourishment and moisture, but nothing really holds.
Quote by -Christy Turlington

In my teen years, I was hanging out with adults - Steven Meisel, Francois Nars, Oribe, Paul Cavaco. We had so much fun! We'd go out in New York.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
I always recognized that modeling would allow me to see and do a lot, so I looked for opportunities to learn and grow.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
There have been so many photographers and editors who mentored me over the years. At the very beginning, the person who taught me the most was Arthur Elgort. I always loved working with him. We traveled a lot together.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
I never looked at magazines before I started modeling. I was 13 or 14, and none of my friends were into magazines. We were into the fashion of the day, though.
Quote by -Christy Turlington

In some countries, as many as 91 percent of women have no one at their side to assist them during labor and delivery.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
Like so many new moms, I felt anxiety over the impending birth of my daughter. However, most of the anxiety I felt was around the idea of raising a child. I wasn't focused on potential risks to my health or hers that could occur during the actual birth.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
Giving birth was probably the most empowering thing I've ever done physically. I was like, 'Now I can do anything. I can run a marathon... I can run three marathons!'
Quote by -Christy Turlington
There has been a lot of media attention around the dangers of drugs used to treat mental illness on the fetus.

I'm not an everyday fragrance person usually. I wouldn't put fragrance on before dropping off my kids or going to the gym.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
Every actor is a model to a certain extent, since they have to do so much press.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
Yoga is about compassion and generosity towards others. It means being mindful of the world around us.

Yoga has brought me closer to myself. It's helped me realize the interconnectedness of the mind, body and spirit, in the Buddhist sense of the word.
Quote by -Christy Turlington
What I did for a living for so many years separated who I was from what I did.
