Carman Kass Quotes:

“It’s not really like you have a thing like a supermodel anymore. It’s more of a word than a real existence. I think, also, looking at it from a designer’s point of view, at one point maybe they felt the stars took too much attention away from the clothes.”

“I have a figure, and there aren’t many girls out there right now who have that.”

“I get paid to work; I don’t pay to work.”
