From Kevyn Aucoin, I learned about the power of eyebrows. He was an eyebrow freak, and rightly so because there's nothing in your face that changes you more. You can quite visibly lift your eye with a higher-placed eyebrow, or if you thicken or thin it.

Nothing ages as poorly as a beautiful woman's ego.

The real bummer of fame is that at some point you're bound to get demoted.

Paulina Porizkova

I think every model has times when they get obnoxious and crazy. You all of a sudden realize you are young and beautiful and you have money, and you just kind of go nutty for awhile.

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

Paulina Porizkova

I'm not a quitter.

I used to think the word 'feminist' reeked of insecurity. A woman who needed to state that she was equal to a man might as well be shouting that she was smart or brave. If you were, you wouldn't need to say it.

I discovered when I was young that I was not like everyone else, and that was great, because it's the people who are different who bring about change and new things.

Paulina Porizkova

Beauty, unlike the rest of the gifts handed out at birth, does not require dedication, patience and hard work to pay off. But it's also the only gift that does not keep on giving.

I'm definitely a narcissist, and TV is fabulous for narcissists.

Fame is an interesting phenomenon.

Paulina Porizkova

I remember when I first started modeling, and I would read interviews with people. Then I would see them, and they would always say something entirely different to a crowd of people than they would say privately. I always found that really offensive.

My boyfriend thinks I lost my true calling to be a librarian.

When I model I pretty much go blank. You can't think too much or it doesn't work.

Paulina Porizkova

I have now spent over a year trying to figure where in the workplace I belong.

Paulina Porizkova

I have worked every day since the age of fifteen, supporting not only myself, but also helping a sizable family when needed.

Paulina Porizkova

I will continue to be intelligent, I vowed, no matter how beautiful I become.

Paulina Porizkova

My first recognition of age setting in was exactly on my 36th birthday. I have no idea why, on this day of all days, I looked in the mirror and realized my face no longer looked young.

Paulina Porizkova

Now, I don't actually know the exact cut-off age where beautiful ceases and 'must have-once-been-beautiful' begins. It's true it's not forty-five. I can still get attention when I try really hard, even if it's greatly reduced.

Paulina Porizkova

I was fired by 'America's Next Top Model' on my birthday.
