Personal Quotes
The thing I like about my body is that it's strong. I can move furniture around my apartment. I can ride my horse... I can play basketball. It's a well functioning machine.
I don't want to have to be beautiful all the time. I want to be able to look cruddy in my weekend sweats, with a pimple on my face and pimple cream on top of the pimple. The expectation to always be beautiful bothers me.
Fashion and style is just that. Fashion and style. It's not brain surgery.
When I did 'Playboy', I got letters from women who didn't consider it feminist to do nude photographs. I thought the whole POINT of being a feminist was that you got to make your own choices.
[in People magazine, 1/11/93] Even I don't look like Cindy Crawford in the morning.
Even in normal life, I'm not the skinniest model.
[on her return to the runway for Fashion Week in 2002] The other models looked at me with a little too much awe like, "Oh my God, I've been your biggest fan for over 20 years!" And I'm like, "How old are you? Shut up!"
The only annoying thing about being recognized is the whispering. You can hear, "Is that Cindy?" And then they follow me for blocks. I wish they'd just come up and say, "Hi".
One day my girlfriend and her boyfriend and I were sunbathing topless because that's Barbados - you can wear nothing if you want. And the Pepsi guy walks up and with my agent to meet us for lunch. I saw him coming and wondered, Should I put on my top because I have a business relationship with him? I didn't want him to get offended because the rest of the beach had seen me with my top off.
Our sex life has been ruined by the arrival of our first baby. We can't be so spontaneous because we don't want the nanny to hear us. We can't scream and yell like we used to.
I regret that I wasn't wilder. I was working and I was nervous. I was the the one in the corner with the book being responsible.
If I'm comfortable with the photographer, I'll do topless.
I was at dinner in Milan with several big photographers and several of the big models at the time, and there people snorting coke right there. I called my my mom and said, 'I can't do this.'
(on guilty food pleasures) Dark chocolate - it feels like a necessity!
Acting like a slut. If we're shooting bikini bottoms at a hotel, you don't walk topless through the lobby. You cover up until you get to your little area. I'm not an exhibitionist but some models are, and I get embarrassed around them because I think people then think all models are that way.
I didn't mind being topless - but I wouldn't be comfortable without any clothes on.
