The beehives from the '60s were gorgeous. The big hair from the '80s wasn't.

I cap my shoe collection at 40.

I just think everything my kids do is fabulous.

When the kids were growing up, they learned to be independent. I told them, 'As long as you're doing something good, it's worth pursuing.' That's why I invested in them in the first place and gave them as much as I could for their first company, Zip2.

With wearing makeup a part of my job as a model, one might think I'd get tired of it, but I absolutely love it.

My parents were very famous, but they were never snobs.

I just want to work.

I was a science nerd. I have two science degrees. I enjoyed the sciences, nutrition, so I always modeled part time, thinking it would end.

When I got divorced, I knew I needed to step it up, so I taught nutrition at a college, modeled, and built my dietitian practice all over Canada.

Poverty makes you work really hard.

I spend three hours a day working on my social network profiles. I think about the right people to tag, the ones who might generate new leads. It's my work, my self-promotion.

When I go out on the runway, I can feel the audience vibrate.

I'm so flattered that at 69, people are booking me and finding me on Instagram.

I try not to give advice unless people ask me.

I don't care why a client books me, as long as they book me.

I don't dye my hair. It's so fabulous. I had brown hair for so long. I was always getting my roots done. Sometimes I did it myself because I couldn't afford to go to a hair salon. When I turned 60, I decided to see what color I am underneath. I started dyeing my hair a very light blond and then I let it grow out. I cut it very short.

I eat vegetarian at home, so I always have yogurt and milk, eggs, whole wheat bread, whole grains. Lots of vegetables and fruit. Cereals and oatmeal. That type of thing.

Almond milk is not a milk; it's not a beverage, really.

I always have snack-y foods with me, like nuts and individually wrapped prunes. I don't like getting hungry. When you're hungry, you'll look for foods, and it's never salad; it's always muffins!

I have to avoid sweet food because it's my weakness, and it's really hard. What you eat will definitely affect your skin, so I really try to stay away from sweets.
