- [on the difference between the entertainment and the modeling industry] The entertainment industry certainly contributes to unrealistic standards, but I don't think they're anywhere near as strict about size as the fashion industry. Things are changing and we're beginning to see more diversity on screen. There's so much attention right now on women's roles - creating more of them, making them much more dimensional characters... I hope things continue to evolve.
