“Every time I would see magazines, especially in the ‘90s when I was growing up, it’s always these perfect, tall, thin women, and I just have never been that,” she said.
“I vividly remember Tyra Banks on the cover, and women with curves, and I remember just thinking that was so cool, that was so cool. But I still didn’t think that I would,” she continued.
“I thought you had to be a professional model and a runway model. And it’s always really young girls. I don’t want to date myself, or sound old, but in my 40s? That’s crazy,” she marvelled. “I never thought in a million years that I would be shooting one myself.”
