I was in that dark, self-destructive place. I was up one minute, down the next. Soaring and crashing and crashing and soaring; the roller coaster from hell.

I liked the way he handled himself in the kitchen. I like men who cook. Men who cook are generally good lovers.

The past explains how I got here, but the future is up to me - and I love to live life at full throttle.

I was in awe of him. I didn't speak; I listened. He was flawless.

If you think I'm over-the-top, I am.

I was in awe of him. I didn't speak; I listened.

I started Botox the first year it came out. I was the first one in line, and I have had Botox every six months since then.

This alpha dog is not going to take it lying down next time.

Aside from my modelling, by the early Nineties I was also starting to work as a photographer, which I loved.

I've sold everything from fashion, make-up, couture magazines, radio, reality television, movies. There isn't a thing I haven't sold, including Tampax. You name it.

I was the first to sign up for Botox when it first came out.

I'm probably the biggest reality television star living.

I'm the female Simon Cowell. He said I'm the scariest woman he's ever met. I asked him why he never dated me, and he said I was too intimidating.

Reinvention is the key to surviving this fashion industry. Madonna is the perfect example of reinvention. She has taken something that is so little and turned herself into a legend by simply never staying the same.

Los Angeles fashion is the Starbucks of the modeling world.

I was Versace's muse, I was Valentino's muse, I was Alaia's muse, Lancetti's muse, Calvin Klein's, Halston's. I could go on and on.

Back in the day I was doing runway, editorial, advertising, spokesmodeling, and public appearances. Those are five different categories.

I have to make sure I exercise and that the ingredients that go into my body are completely organic.

I relax, meditate and do 80 minutes of yoga every day.

I hike and make sure everything I eat is organic.

Whatever it takes to make an individual feel better, I'm all for it.

I've been fooling the public for years and I'm really good at it.

I can only speak from my own personal experience, being behind the camera and in front of it, but every magazine cover you see is completely airbrushed.

I'm a former bulimic myself and it's a horrible, horrible addiction.

Hey, I fool the camera. I'm a liar, a magician.

The idea of the extreme makeover is disturbing.

I became a cover girl and an editorial model, and then I became a runway model.

I'm not a good person to have as an enemy; say nice things about me.

As the saying goes, I want to be the best-looking corpse there is.

I'm aiming to become the white Oprah.

Follow sound business trends, not fashion trends.

Money is like hormones. It's just how you feel on any given day.

What's my motto when it comes to money? Don't put so much emphasis on it!

My first job was for a blue jean company as a sitting model. I posed for 15 minutes and made $50. It was 1976.

I'm addicted to cosmetic surgery!

Every six months I fly to Dallas to get botox and I also get collagen injections.

I grew up in an abusive home and was told on a daily basis by my father that I would never amount to anything and that I looked like a boy.

But as a young model, I never felt as beautiful as I looked.

I've been on the cover of every magazine in the world.

I lived the stuff that Jackie Collins writes about.

I'm keeping my acerbic wit completely fueled.

I was shaped by my mistakes.

Beauty opened all the doors; it got me things I didn't even know I wanted, and things I certainly didn't deserve.

I have to wake up and drink chamomile tea to slow down.

I borrow bits from everyone.

Everyone steals from something or someone.

I have a very vivid imagination.

I'm able to move like no one else you've ever seen in front of a camera.

I grew up studying ballet; I grew up honing my craft.

I was lusted after walking down the streets of New York.
