In the studio, I do try to have a thought in my head, so that it's not like a blank stare.

I've always found that beauty and confidence are synonymous. If you feel confident, that's what people see.

I also turn to homeopathic remedies for the treatment of indigestion, travel sickness, insomnia and hay fever just to name a few. Homeopathy offers a safe, natural alternative that causes no side effects or drug interactions.

I have cellulite. I admit it. But sometimes I just say, 'Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini.'

But I try to steal other moments. Sometimes I get up very early in the morning and enjoy a quiet house and cup of tea before the craziness begins. Other times, I'll take a quick walk on the beach. You can find peace in a few minutes.

Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.

The face you have at age 25 is the face God gave you, but the face you have after 50 is the face you earned.

I am the doctor of our family, and I am a big fan of homeopathy.

I think women see me on the cover of magazines and think I never have a pimple or bags under my eyes. You have to realize that's after two hours of hair and makeup, plus retouching. Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford.

Life is where you're at. Whatever you're doing is enough. You don't need to do everything well all the time. When you live your life like that, it's a huge relief.

I believe that at least 70 percent of parenting goes to the mother. In our house, I'm the one who knows about all the school stuff, helps with the homework, organizes the play dates, and remembers the birthday parties.

Modeling is about illusion. It's a fantasy world where models play various roles. By featuring extreme looks, magazines show women how to have fun with makeup and clothes, and to inspire them to experiment - just like we did when we were little girls.

I don't think makeup is rocket science or a cure for cancer.

Watching your husband become a father is really sexy and wonderful.

When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs.

I think if people are passionate about something, it could be real estate or biochemistry, and that spark gets turned on in them, everyone's beautiful in that zone.

As my mom always said, 'You'd rather have smile lines than frown lines.'

You start out happy that you have no hips or boobs.All of a sudden you get them, and it feels sloppy. Then just when you start liking them, they start drooping.

If people would treat themselves with the same kind of love they give to their friends, that would be such a great gift we could give ourselves.

The body I had at 21, God gave me. The body I have at 31, is one I worked for.

I don't want my daughter to think she has to deprive herself to be pretty...It's all about balance and I can teach that best by living it.

Our family room, where we live, is about togetherness and ease. Nothing in my house is too formal. There are no coasters on tables; the kids can eat Popsicles on the couch if they want to. I let them ride these little cycles we got for them when they were 3 that have rubber wheels and no pedals.
Cindy Crawford
25.
Modern women - we're very good at keeping ourselves busy. There are PTA meetings, exercising, bake sales at school. I like that my life is not the same every day.
Cindy Crawford
26.
It's a huge change for your body. You don't even want to look in the mirror after you've had a baby, because your stomach is just hanging there like a Shar-Pei.
Cindy Crawford
27.
Nothing I have accomplished has given me more confidence than birthing my children at home naturally. I was so high after delivering my children-not just because I had a new baby, but because I was so proud of what my body (and mind) were able to do. I strongly encourage women not to give this power away.

Most of the reason I work out now is not for the external - it's for how I feel. I find working out gives me more energy. I started eight days after he was born.

I hated turning 40; the whole idea of it stank. But once I got through it, I was fine.
Cindy Crawford

The thing I like about my body is that it's strong. I can move furniture around my apartment. I can ride my horse... I can play basketball. It's a well functioning machine.

They were doing a full back shot of me in a swimsuit and I thought, Oh my God, I have to be so brave. See, every woman hates herself from behind.
Cindy Crawford

I don't look the same as I did 20 years ago, nor should I.

Fashion and style is just that. Fashion and style. It's not brain surgery.

Richard doesn't really like me to kill bugs, but sometimes I can't help it.

It's become another dimension to who I am. I don't think Sports Illustrated is going to be wanting me. But who cares? I'm at a different place in my life.

Usually, your personality doesn't come out on the cover of Vogue. If the photographer says, "Smile," you smile. You might not be in a good mood that day, but you're smiling anyway.
Cindy Crawford
37.
I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person, which makes me a better mom.
Cindy Crawford

I owe the quality of my skin to my cosmetic surgeon.
Cindy Crawford

I just want to be a nice girl from the Midwest - I don't want to have to act like a heavy to be taken seriously, and I resent that I have to be so pushy and political sometimes just to do my job.
Cindy Crawford
40.
Not that I believe you can have it all: I believe you can have it all, just not at the same time.
Cindy Crawford
41.
I've tried and failed a lot. But I've also tried to be really clear about my brand. It is who I am. I'm a mum, I'm a wife, I'm 44 and from the Midwest.
Cindy Crawford
42.
I wasn't the most popular girl in school by any means.
Cindy Crawford
43.
Nobody in my family ever thought that I'd a be a model.

Having children really changes your priorities.
Cindy Crawford
45.
How many girls, models or not, are secure about their bodies? I think I'm more realistic about what to expect of myself now. I also have a lot of other things than modeling going on in my life that I'm proud of.
Cindy Crawford

You leak sometimes. My pediatrician said, 'Can't you just wear pads under your clothes?' I said, 'You don't know the kind of clothes I wear on photo shoots.'
Cindy Crawford

I don't have to try to be perfect at everything.
Cindy Crawford
48.
I always knew I wanted to have children.
Cindy Crawford

I don't see my skin aging. I see my skin looking as good, or better, than it did ten years ago...and that makes me smile.
Cindy Crawford

Fashion is social commentary, but to me, it's the whimsy of it and how women and men use clothes to express themselves. It should be fun and when it stops being fun, that's when I put my jeans and my T-shirt on and then that's your uniform.
