Quotes by Daria Werbowy
When I was a kid, everywhere I went people said I should be a model, but I was more into skateboarding.
The fact that my parents got over to Canada is kind of amazing in and of itself. Had they not immigrated when I was a child, I probably would have never been doing what I’m doing. So, thanks, Canada!
When I was a kid, I was always around boys. I was always trying to keep up with boys – skateboarding and snowboarding. If my brother was mowing the lawn, I had to mow the lawn. If my brother was using a hammer, I needed to use a hammer. I’ve always been a little bit of a feminist.
If I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it as best I can. I’m going to give it everything.
Modeling’s terrifying to a lot of people. Standing in front of a camera is terrifying. I like a challenge.
Sometimes I am still surprised that I’m a model and that people think I’m good-looking.
I’ve gone through a lot of different phases on what I do and why I do it – morally and ethically. I’ve tortured myself about it, especially in dealing with success and money.
