Biography

[When she recalled playing a model]: When the Halston girls walked onstage, everybody else bowed down. My career had never really been as a model because, even at my bone-thinnest, I still weighed about 140 pounds. But after that show aired, everyone knew me as a model. There was no way out of it.

[on her diagnosis]: Finally my doctor said, 'I'm going to have you tested for endometriosis. Don't worry about it, you probably don't have it but let's run the test anyway. We did an ultrasound and he said, 'Yup, you have it.' That was the first time I heard of endometriosis.
