28 Quotes by Stephanie Seymour

I educated myself, and it made me feel good. I went to museums. I read books. I did all the things, pretty much, that you would do in school. I would never want my kids to leave school, though, I’m really for education.

I did everything young. I was always in a hurry to do everything. I had kids young and I worked young and I didn’t have time to go back to school because I wasn’t willing to give up anything that I had.

Education always continues. We all know that beauty fades, but what stays is a person’s personality, their sense of humor, their wit, what they’re interested in. That’s what really shines.

Probably the most important piece of advice that I’ve ever gotten is to develop your mind. I left school very young and I always regretted it.

My husband and I were in Paris for the weekend and I hated wearing anything that was in style. I really loved ’50s dresses, so we started going around Paris and hunting this stuff down. It became like this treasure hunt. From then on, I felt like a pirate every time I left Paris.

If you want to be a model, then you should probably become an actor. That’s the only way to get hired to do the great advertising campaigns that are really interesting or the magazine covers, and it’s hard to build a name for yourself as a model without those things.

I always hang up my own dresses. It is a good lesson in appreciation and in always remembering that you’re part of a team, not outside of the team, but with the team and on the team.

I would like to see fewer actors modeling, or if they’re going to model to the extent that they are modeling, then I think that models should be actors.
