Czechoslovakian - Model | April 9, 1965 -
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.

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?

People want you to be beautiful and shut up. When I paint or play music, they'd rather not know about that.

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.

At 52 and unaltered, people tell me I look good for my age. This is not the same as being told you're beautiful.

I'm against all of us looking homogenous, where there's only one kind of a template of a person.
