I have worked every day since the age of fifteen, supporting not only myself, but also helping a sizable family when needed.

Fame is an interesting phenomenon.
- Birthday
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My first recognition of age setting in was exactly on my 36th birthday. I have no idea why, on this day of all days, I looked in the mirror and realized my face no longer looked young.
- Attention
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Now, I don't actually know the exact cut-off age where beautiful ceases and 'must have-once-been-beautiful' begins. It's true it's not forty-five. I can still get attention when I try really hard, even if it's greatly reduced.
- Handed

Beauty, unlike the rest of the gifts handed out at birth, does not require dedication, patience and hard work to pay off. But it's also the only gift that does not keep on giving.
- Ego
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nothing ages as poorly as a beautiful woman's ego.
- Flicker
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you have used your beauty to get around, it's like having extra cash in your back pocket. I was so used to walking down the street and having the young guys passing by at least give me a flicker of a look. But once you're over 40, you become invisible. You're a brick in the building, and it's sad.
- Problem

Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista - those models got bunched together. I was always asked to be bunched in there, but I didn't want to be part of the herd. The only one I really had a problem with, though, was Naomi.
- Man
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to think the word 'feminist' reeked of insecurity. A woman who needed to state that she was equal to a man might as well be shouting that she was smart or brave. If you were, you wouldn't need to say it.
- Feminist
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My name is Paulina Porizkova, and I am a feminist.
- Business
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always hated modeling. It's superficial and fake, and I hate to have to care about what I look like. I get a pimple and freak. The whole business is all about selling beautiful girls' faces and bodies, so how can there be anything intelligent or nice about that except for the girl who makes money?
- Crazy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think every model has times when they get obnoxious and crazy. You all of a sudden realize you are young and beautiful and you have money, and you just kind of go nutty for awhile.
- Music
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People want you to be beautiful and shut up. When I paint or play music, they'd rather not know about that.
- Die
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always hear, 'Oh, she's really beautiful.' I'd die to hear, 'Oh, she's really smart.' I'm not as dumb as I look.
- Favorite

- Nov 07, 2020
Reading is, hands-down, my favorite activity.
- My Life

- Nov 07, 2020
Words are my life.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
At 52 and unaltered, people tell me I look good for my age. This is not the same as being told you're beautiful.
- Only
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm against all of us looking homogenous, where there's only one kind of a template of a person.
- Bad
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think I had my first anxiety attack at the age of 10. Then it sort of varied between being so bad that I barely dared to go out to periods where it almost vanished. It's sort of like an ebb and flow thing.
- Modeling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I remember when I first started modeling, and I would read interviews with people. Then I would see them, and they would always say something entirely different to a crowd of people than they would say privately. I always found that really offensive.
- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
After I finished working for Estee Lauder, I stopped being a professional model. I decided to never again advertise something that I don't actually use. I only sign up for things that I truly believe in.
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
From Kevyn Aucoin, I learned about the power of eyebrows. He was an eyebrow freak, and rightly so because there's nothing in your face that changes you more. You can quite visibly lift your eye with a higher-placed eyebrow, or if you thicken or thin it.
- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wash my hair once a week. If it gets stinky in between, I just dry-shampoo it.
- Look
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you have really pretty skin, then you can pretty much stick on mascara and a lip cream and look great.
- Nov 07, 2020
Modeling sucks.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I discovered when I was young that I was not like everyone else, and that was great, because it's the people who are different who bring about change and new things.
