Cindy Crawford

“There are things I'd wish weren't part of ageing. But what you gain is much more than you're giving up. I don't think you come into your own until you're 35 or so.”

“I'm all-American. Sexy but not intimidating. Not the kind of woman who's going to steal someone's husband.”

“I'm not a fan of fillers at all. If you've gone 35 or 40 years without big lips, I don't think it's time to start plumping them up artificially.”

“You don't have to do the picture, you have to do the autograph, but it's important to take that moment to make a human connection.”

“When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar belie...”

“I always knew I wanted to have children. When I met my husband, Rande, I thought, 'This is the guy.' When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn't enough....”

“I have cellulite. I admit it. But sometimes I just say, 'Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini.'”

“I think if people are passionate about something, it could be real estate or biochemistry, and that spark gets turned on in them, everyone's beautiful in that zone.”

“Richard doesn't really like me to kill bugs, but sometimes I can't help it.”

“Twitter is just like posting old-fashioned press releases, and it can be very effective in promoting your business interests and charity work.”

“Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.”

“I married someone whom I was close friends with first. I think that was a really good move.”

“But I try to steal other moments. Sometimes I get up very early in the morning and enjoy a quiet house and cup of tea before the craziness begins. Other times, I'll take a quick walk on the...”

“Our family room, where we live, is about togetherness and ease. Nothing in my house is too formal. There are no coasters on tables; the kids can eat Popsicles on the couch if they want to. I...”

“It's become another dimension to who I am. I don't think Sports Illustrated is going to be wanting me. But who cares? I'm at a different place in my life.”

“Having children really changes your priorities.”

“I want my home to look good, feel good, and smell good. I want it to be inclusive, to reflect the people who live there.”

“I am not a fine chef, but I can certainly get dinner on the table for 14 people. With that many, I try to keep it simple: salmon, mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach, and salad.”

“I've tried and failed a lot. But I've also tried to be really clear about my brand. It is who I am. I'm a mum, I'm a wife, I'm 44 and from the Midwest.”
