Linda Evangelista
I eat super healthy and I'm super fit. I dabble in every type of fitness. I have a trainer and I go to the gym. I do yoga as well.Collection: Fitness
I did that Dior Couture 60th anniversary show in July. It took so long to get ready, I think I would have rather been watching.Collection: Anniversary
I don't diet. I just don't eat as much as I'd like to.Collection: Diet
It was God who made me so beautiful. If I weren't, then I'd be a teacher.Collection: Teacher
I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.
I never get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.
We don't vogue, we are 'Vogue'.
God help anyone who disobeys my recycling system. I have all the separated bins. I'm very adamant about it because I try to be a good citizen of the world, I really do. I even use eco-friendly cleaning products, but sometimes you just have to break open the disinfectant. Some jobs require it.
If they had Nautilus on the Concorde, I would work out all the time.
I can do anything you want me to do so long as I don't have to speak.
When I work, it can be a 16-hour day.
On days when I do not work, I am working on my image.
I have to hit the gym. I have beauty appointments. I have to work toward my next job and maintaining my image, just like an athlete.
We have this expression, Christy and I. We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day.
I love, love, love fashion so much. That's why I became a model in the first place.
Being a rock star was out of the question. I can't sing.
When I started in the business, I was told I had three good years in me.
When people ask how have I kept on top, I have to say with the help of every photographer, make-up artist and hairdresser I've ever worked with.
As long as designers want to dress me, photographers want to take my picture and companies think my face will help their products, then I won't go anywhere until they're done with me.
I don't happen to think magazines should be full of thin people. What I do say is that we can all work a little harder with what we have. It is possible to achieve a better body shape and heart rate with nutrition and exercise.
I'm so glad this worked out for me, I do think I know how to be a good model.
I never, ever used my son for publicity. He'll have his say one day if he wants it. He'll have the last word. He has time to defend himself.
Within two months I made the grand slam: covers of 'American Vogue', 'Italian Vogue', 'British Vogue', and 'French Vogue'.
Sure, I like my short hair. It also quadrupled my rate. I did get sick of seeing it on everybody, though - every stewardess, every salesclerk, and in every restaurant.
I'm part of a team that raises millions of dollars and raises awareness of HIV and AIDS all over the world.
I had no illusions that my career would be any longer than three years tops.
I know that sometimes the chemistry just isn't there between the model, photographer, hair and make-up. It's nobody's fault and you just have to do better next time.
I have turned down so many major advertising bids because I think either the time isn't right or I'm not.
Designers and photographers still want to work with me and I'm grateful for that. I don't know how long I'll carry on - as long as they'll have me.
I don't get cast for every job and I understand that.
Why would I be embarrassed about being Canadian? I'm very proud. We're just the nicest people. Everyone likes us.
Fashion faux pas should be celebrated. I enjoy them because it means we're not all clones.
Hair is the greatest thing to experiment with because it's not permanent. If I didn't like my colour, I'd just change it.
People think modeling's mindless, that you just stand there and pose, but it doesn't have to be that way. I like to have a lot of input. I know how to wear a dress, whether it should be shot with me standing or sitting.
On days when I do not work, I am working on my image. I have to hit the gym. I have beauty appointments. I have to work toward my next job and maintaining my image, just like an athlete.

I like glamour. Not afraid of it.Collection: Glamour
I don't think age is an ugly process. I think age is a beautiful thing. I love wrinkles. I don't like falling down. If I just wrinkle, I may not touch. If I fall down, I'll lift up.Collection: Beautiful
Half-caf, double-tall, non fat, whole-milk foam, bone-dry, half-pump mocha, half sugar in the raw, double cup, no lid, capp - to go.Collection: Coffee
I can do anything you want me to do so long as I dont have to speakCollection: Funny
I have this great fear of people - not when I'm on the runway, but backstage. In a room full of people, I really suffer. I sort of go into a tunnel and I feel very removed. I get so tense, I can't swallow, and my heartbeat goes way up. It still happens now, although I'm better at controlling it.Collection: Tunnels
People think modeling's mindless, that you just stand there and pose, but it doesn't have to be that way. I like to have a lot of input. I know how to wear a dress, whether it should be shot with me standing up or sitting.Collection: Thinking
I admired those girls who did Playboy, Sports Illustrated, and Victoria's Secret. I love looking at them too, but I never went in that direction. I just stayed in fashion.Collection: Girl
We have this saying, Christy and I. We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day.Collection: Fashion
I was having panic attacks. I didn't want to live that way anymore. I was in love and I wanted it to work. I was tired of travelling, tired of the whole scene, just tired. I sat around. I was lazy. I wanted a routine, and I wanted to wake up in the same bed every day, and I got my wish.Collection: Tired
I got so sick of my face and the flaws.Collection: Sick
I think I will always have a place. I don't think I have to rule or reign but there's a place for me.Collection: Thinking
There was a time when everyone remembered that stupid thing about me not getting out of bed for less than $10,000 a day. These days, it's far more important to me that I'm part of a team which raises over $1 million a month for Aids. I'm much more proud of that, than that other old quote.Collection: Team
I was a hoarder, and I got rid of everything. Now nothing comes in my home unless it has a purpose. And decor is not a purpose. Home is New York apartment with a table, a bed and sofas. That's it. Everything else is gone.Collection: New York
One of the reasons I wanted to come back is I got sick of seeing really ugly pictures of myself in the tabloids. I got to the point where I'd look in the mirror and say: "Where'd she go? Because she's still in there." I knew she was still in there (she laughs) and it didn't take much to get her out.Collection: Mirrors
