Did you ever wish to look like Barbie?

"No, that was never an issue to me. I still have a hard time believing that people want to be the models in magazines or they wanted to be barbie. In my house, we weren't taught that looks get you far. We never owned a weight scale, weight was never an issue. My parents looked after our individuality, something I think we also gained through playing various tales and adventures with our dolls."
