I never thought I was the most beautiful model out there or the most sexy woman, but I was a hard worker.
No, I'm not the first or last model of my type in this industry. You can make up all the reasons you think I am where I am, but really, I'm a hard worker that's confident in myself - one that came at a time where the fashion industry was ready for a change.
I was called the greatest director in Europe, but I was just a hard worker.

If we're going to do trade agreements, as we should, we need trade agreements with rules that will lift up all boats, rather than continuing to pull down U.S. food safety standards, U.S. worker wages, environment, all that these job losses and all that this has done to pull down our standards.
In Philly, there are a lot of social programs. If you have a degree, you can go and apply.

We were doing lots of fun stuff, but that was such hard work.
