I'm thinking of slowing down on modeling and branching out to other things. I want to pursue some new and old dreams and start making them happen.

What better model of a synthesis than a nocturnal dream? Dreams simplify don't they?

Young girls look to me as a role model and think I crash diet to keep slim. That's not true I always eat properly.

I think I've done every crazy diet there was in the beginning but it's weird: I'm thinner now than I was when I was modeling. I don't obsess about it.

I actually started as a model builder and quickly progressed into production design which made sense because I could draw and paint. But I kept watching that guy over there who was moving the actors around and setting up the shots.

The only thing Martha and I have in common is that we both used to model. Martha Stewart is extremely talented. Her designs are picture perfect. Our philosophy is life is messy and rather than being afraid of those messes we design products that work the way we live.

The leading cause of death among fashion models is falling through street grates.

My dad's one of my biggest heroes. I also think Paul Newman's an inspiration. I know a lot of people say that but I love that he's a great role model and a humanitarian. I admire people who don't necessarily want to change the world but try to make it a better environment.

I didn't have any role models really. My best friend was a dog. My mum and dad saved a dog from the gutter and that dog was my brother before Jesse was born. Sami was his name and he was my role model.

Becoming a dad means you have to be a role model for your son and be someone he can look up to.

My role model is my dad.

The older people that one admires seem to be fearless. They go right out into the world. It's astounding. Maybe they can't see or they can't hear but they walk out into the street and take life as it comes. They're models of courage in a strange way.

I just really like fun cool interesting quirky girls. And sometimes you find that in 6'2 model bodies and sometimes they're short and brunette. All shapes and sizes - it's really about the personality. That sounds cliche but it's so freaking true!

In New York City you can walk down the street and see a girl in a trench who looks equally as cool as a girl wearing Lululemon. It's like you're watching models. You see a little of everything right by you.

You can involve yourself in electronics computers puzzles... there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.

To conclude: good journalism is one of the models of good conversation and communication in the wider social context.

I won't compare ants and people but ants give us a useful model of how single members of a community can become so organized that they end up resembling in effect one big collective brain. Our own exploding population and communication technology are leading us that way.
