I'd like to share with you these inspirational words from the great minds of
our age:

ON FATE "I wish my butt did not go sideways, but I guess I have to face that."
        -- Christie Brinkley
ON PSYCHOLOGY "I loved making 'Rising Sun'. I got into the psychology of why
        she liked to get strangled and tied up in plastic bags. It has to do
	with low self-worth."
        -- Tatjana Patitz

        help it."
        -- Cindy Crawford
ON TRAVEL "I haven't seen the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Louvre. I haven't
        seen anything. I don't really care."
        -- Tyra Banks
ON BREAKTHROUGHS "Once I got past my anger toward my mother, I began to excel
        in volleyball and modeling."
        -- Gabrielle Reece
ON EPIPHANY "I just found out that I'm one inch taller than I thought."

        -- Beverly Johnson
ON THE BASICS "It's very important to have the right clothing to exercise in.
        If you throw on an old T-shirt or sweats, it's not inspiring for your
	workout."
        -- Cheryl Tiegs
ON INTRODUCTIONS "I think most people are curious about what it would be like
        to be able to meet yourself. It's eerie."
        -- Christy Turlington

        that I know most women love to hear, so I never keep it far from me
	when women are nearby."

ON PARADOX "Sometimes I get lonely, but it's nice to be alone."
        -- Tatjana Patitz
