“There is no such thing as a boring person: everyone has stories and insights worth sharing. While on the road, we let our phones or laptops take up our attention.

“There is no sin worse in life than being boring--and nothing worse than letting other people tell you what to do. I was one of the few heiresses to walk the runway as a model. A lot of people thought that was shocking. Why did I do it? Was it a desperate cry for attention, like the papers said? Hardly. It's not like I need any more attention. Did I do it for money? Of course not. Modeling doesn't pay that well, anyway, unless you're Gisele or Cindy Crawford, or, like Patti Hansen, you get to marry a rock star. I did it because it was fun.” PeopleNeedsWellsSaidCoursesFunStarsSinWalksPayAttentionRocksCryPaperModelsBoringDesperateShockingPapersModelingRock StarRunwayCindyHeiress Book:Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose Source: Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose
