Zitat des Tages von Cindy Crawford:
The face you have at age 25 is the face God gave you, but the face you have after 50 is the face you earned.
It's a huge change for your body. You don't even want to look in the mirror after you've had a baby, because your stomach is just hanging there like a Shar-Pei.
I am not a fine chef, but I can certainly get dinner on the table for 14 people. With that many, I try to keep it simple: salmon, mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach, and salad.
Nobody in my family ever thought that I'd a be a model.
But I try to steal other moments. Sometimes I get up very early in the morning and enjoy a quiet house and cup of tea before the craziness begins. Other times, I'll take a quick walk on the beach. You can find peace in a few minutes.
Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.
Not that I believe you can have it all: I believe you can have it all, just not at the same time.
I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person, which makes me a better mom.
The thing I like about my body is that it's strong. I can move furniture around my apartment. I can ride my horse... I can play basketball. It's a well functioning machine.
I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person, which makes me a better mom. I feel lucky because I have the luxury of working only one or two days a week.
Our family room, where we live, is about togetherness and ease. Nothing in my house is too formal. There are no coasters on tables; the kids can eat Popsicles on the couch if they want to. I let them ride these little cycles we got for them when they were 3 that have rubber wheels and no pedals.
I don't have to try to be perfect at everything.
Life is where you're at. Whatever you're doing is enough. You don't need to do everything well all the time. When you live your life like that, it's a huge relief.
I have cellulite. I admit it. But sometimes I just say, 'Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini.'
When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs.
I wasn't the most popular girl in school by any means.
Having children really changes your priorities.
You don't even want to look in the mirror after you've had a baby, because your stomach is just hanging there like a Shar-Pei.
I don't waste as much time at work because I'd rather spend it with my kids.
It's become another dimension to who I am. I don't think Sports Illustrated is going to be wanting me. But who cares? I'm at a different place in my life.
The good thing about people underestimating models is that the bar is set so low, you tend to impress people more easily.
Richard doesn't really like me to kill bugs, but sometimes I can't help it.
Being a nice girl from the Mid-West, my inclination is always to give in and say yes because I want people to like me.
They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, Oh my God, I have to be so brave. See, every woman hates herself from behind.
In the studio, I do try to have a thought in my head, so that it's not like a blank stare.
Obviously, your family life is the priority, but there's still other stuff you have to get done in a day. I think the way I make it work is by taking care of myself, and that includes fitness and eating right and all those things, but also by being very organized and punctual.
I don't think makeup is rocket science or a cure for cancer.
I always knew I wanted to have children.
I married someone whom I was close friends with first. I think that was a really good move.
Even in normal life, I'm not the skinniest model.
If I put on a few pounds, it goes straight to my butt.
I believe that at least 70 percent of parenting goes to the mother. In our house, I'm the one who knows about all the school stuff, helps with the homework, organizes the play dates, and remembers the birthday parties.
Watching your husband become a father is really sexy and wonderful.
I want my home to look good, feel good, and smell good. I want it to be inclusive, to reflect the people who live there.
I don't look the same as I did 20 years ago, nor should I.
There are things I'd wish weren't part of ageing. But what you gain is much more than you're giving up. I don't think you come into your own until you're 35 or so.
