I felt a lot of guilt being a model, knowing that I was in images girls compared themselves to. As a model, you’re not really discouraged to have an opinion, but you’re encouraged to be very agreeable and go with the flow and not challenge people. I had been very quiet for a number of years, but when I was 23 or 24 I got into a very heated conversation with this photographer in London once because he looked through my book and he pointed at one of the pictures and said, “You shouldn’t have this picture in your book. You look out of proportion. Your legs look too heavy.” I think it was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I looked at him and I’d just had enough. … I got really quite angered by him and I said, “I feel so guilty as it is having women look at these pictures and think this is what they have to look like without assholes like you telling me that I’m actually too fat.”
