If you can eat five fruits and vegetables a day, that alone can totally change your diet.Collection: Alone
If there's foods I don't like, like kale, it doesn't mean that I'm not efficient in my diet; it just means I can eat broccoli and other green vegetables. That's what people don't understand, is that as long as you're having a variety of foods in your diet, you don't have to have the food of the week that's everyone going crazy about.Collection: Diet
I don't take supplements - I get nutrition from food.Collection: Food
Makeup does a lot for your confidence. When I put makeup on, I walk taller. I smile more. I feel good. I know I look prettier. Even if I just put day makeup on.Collection: Smile
I just think a big smile and feeling confident makes you beautiful.Collection: Smile
For most of my adult life, I always had this pain in my gut, but because I had to survive, and I had to pay the rent, I needed the roof over our head and food for us to eat and some clothes.Collection: Food
If I had a modelling job and then it became a poster, it meant that my kids and I could have turkey for Christmas dinner. Otherwise, we had chicken.Collection: Christmas
Almond milk is not a milk; it's not a beverage, really.
I always said, as a dietician, age doesn't matter. As long as you're doing good research and helping people eat well, it doesn't matter what age you are.
When I go out on the runway, I can feel the audience vibrate.
I take 12-bean soup mixes, soak the beans overnight, boil them up, add tomatoes and flavoring, and freeze it. I'll have a cup a day. It's very nutritious.
My best piece of style advice is to keep your wardrobe small and love everything in it.
I would say, anyone who knows me says they don't envy my life. I've just been through very hard times, yes.
Looking back, letting my hair go natural was an amazing decision because I started getting major ad campaigns. I also signed with agencies in Europe and travelled to many different cities, which I loved. People would stop me in the street and say they loved my hair!
I had two brilliant children and one genius. Elon could figure out things when he was very young and was always advanced for his age. He could hold a conversation about something that was way beyond his years, and he read voraciously.
Aging doesn't scare me at all. You can handle the bumps each year. They're traumatic when you're younger, and they're hurtful, and you go through some terrible times, and you feel terrible.
I love a massage - I should go more often, but I think I go once a month.
Poverty makes you work really hard.
I don't do a lot of fad diets or supplements and don't recommend that.
I just wanted to be the best dietician in the world - but then modeling took over.
I just want to work.
My parents were very famous, but they were never snobs.
With wearing makeup a part of my job as a model, one might think I'd get tired of it, but I absolutely love it.
I think that's one thing that's kept me working in this industry for so long: my interest in self-representation. It's a big part of my role as a dietitian, too - helping people feel happy, healthy, and confident exactly as they are.
I don't dye my hair. It's so fabulous. I had brown hair for so long. I was always getting my roots done. Sometimes I did it myself because I couldn't afford to go to a hair salon. When I turned 60, I decided to see what color I am underneath. I started dyeing my hair a very light blond and then I let it grow out. I cut it very short.
I was a science nerd. I have two science degrees. I enjoyed the sciences, nutrition, so I always modeled part time, thinking it would end.
Makeup transforms me. I feel like I'm in disguise when I walk my dog without makeup on.
At 15, I was modeling. I had to do my own hair and makeup. I also made my own clothes because I grew up in South Africa, where fashion was six months behind because of the seasons.
I've never been scared of aging.
My mother worked as an artist until she was 96.
When the kids were growing up, they learned to be independent. I told them, 'As long as you're doing something good, it's worth pursuing.' That's why I invested in them in the first place and gave them as much as I could for their first company, Zip2.
When I got divorced, I knew I needed to step it up, so I taught nutrition at a college, modeled, and built my dietitian practice all over Canada.
I started doing runway work when I was 15, and I remember meeting a model who was 30 - ancient, for the industry - and everyone was so happy to see her. As I've gotten older, I've experience the same thing. People are just thrilled to see me modeling!
When Elon was 17 and my daughter was 15, they really wanted to move to Canada, where my family is from. I said no, because I wanted to do a Ph.D. in Johannesburg, and I was getting lots of modeling work there. But Elon and I went over to visit, and while I was gone my daughter sold my home and my car and had a big garage sale with all my furniture.
I grew up in the happiest home - my parents were really adventurous, and I was very lucky.
If you try to hold onto the old trends, then you'll look old.
I like to tweet out nutrition research because I did my bachelor of science degree in dietetics.
I have to avoid sweet food because it's my weakness, and it's really hard. What you eat will definitely affect your skin, so I really try to stay away from sweets.
I just think everything my kids do is fabulous.
For fifty years, I was a part-time model, but basically, I'm a nutritionist, a teacher, a mother.
After divorcing, I left South Africa to live in Toronto. They were tough years. On my own with three young children and no income. I'd cry when they spilt milk because I didn't have the money to buy any more.
I spend three hours a day working on my social network profiles. I think about the right people to tag, the ones who might generate new leads. It's my work, my self-promotion.
My personal style icons are Diane Von Furstenberg and Linda Fargo. For strength and their own style, Christine Lagarde and Angela Merkel.
I cap my shoe collection at 40.
The beehives from the '60s were gorgeous. The big hair from the '80s wasn't.
When I was younger, I was mousey brown and started putting in highlights with each child. By the time I had my third baby, I was pretty much a blonde, and I stayed that way until I was in my late 50s.
I'll continue working as long as people want to hire me.
When I go to shoots, the young models are excited to see me. It proves they can have long and successful careers, too.
My parents were the only people to go to South Africa from Australia in a single engine plane... the two of them, no radio... you had to fly down low to see the street signs to know which city you were in... most people couldn't speak English.
I was a nerdy student.
