Lauren Hutton

I'd like to be the first model who becomes a woman.

Lord knows, I never want to waste any more of my time in mirrors.

The last thing we need is yet another makeup company. Even I have a nervous breakdown when I go through the department store makeup floor.

I had 30-something years' experience in modeling, which is rare.

I'm not part of the cultural elite. I'm a down-home girl. Always have been, always will be.

We need a new religion.

No one's raising children any more. To love a child, you've got to work for it. You have to change its diapers and feed it at night!

I became a specialist at comedic one-liners.

A lot of modeling is how much crap you can take.

In 1974, the modeling world changed. Jerry Ford and my lawyer negotiated the deal for the first exclusive contract in modeling history.

I had always broken the rules.

I look at my first appointment book from 1965 and I get dizzy. I was constantly in a phone booth calling photographers.

Eileen Ford wanted me to fix my nose and my teeth. I said, Sure, great, but I really had no intention to.

I discovered myself!

Whatever tension is on set can end up on your face.

When I went back to modeling, nobody knew how to deal with a 46-year-old model!

Avedon wouldn't let me put wax between my teeth like I usually did.

I was making $50 a week as a house model at Christian Dior for nine months before I learned that photographic models made $50 an hour!

That's the mistake women make - you shouldn't see your makeup. We don't want to look like we've made an effort.

There are plenty of beautiful girls who don't photograph well.
