Dignity Quotes

“When it’s all said and done I would like to look back and think that I help to make modelling a possibility for a greater number of people. I don’t do things that I will regret in the future.

“There's a right way and a wrong way to do things. If you make a chair, you want to make a nice chair. You want people to admire it.

And doing what you don't want to do means either you have no choice, or you don't think that the moments of your life are worth fighting for.”
