And then I recalled those mysterious stories about the waxworkers of the middle ages and the public reprobation attached to their trade. Did they not live in cellars, in the eternal twilight propitious for enchantments and apparitions? Their visionary art (who, more than they, evoked a truer image of life?) was closely related to that of magicians: bewitchments were carried out with wax figures, witch trials are full of them, and one particular legend haunted me above all, that of the modeler from Anspach, who slowly squeezed the soul and the life out of his model in order to animate his painted waxwork and then, having finished his work of art, awaited nightfall to go and bury the corpse in the ditch at the city walls. ↗

There are relatively few role models for young people. We are in a society that is ruled by men. ↗

My role models in the business were the older guys on my team when I first got there: Gray Scott, Adrian Smith, Roland Taylor. These were the guys who took me under their wing, and really schooled me in terms of what the business was about. ↗

I still believe there is a need to open up search and it will come eventually. It is very important to challenge the current models. ↗

Lots of models have played mermaids throughout history and it is, kind of, a funny rite of passage. ↗

Models, even male models - how small they've gotten! It looks great for the clothes, but it's not what you want in real life. ↗

The older people that one admires seem to be fearless. They go right out into the world. It's astounding. Maybe they can't see or they can't hear, but they walk out into the street and take life as it comes. They're models of courage, in a strange way. ↗

But things move in circles: one minute it's the models who are famous, then it's the actresses, then it's the designers. ↗
