“There’s no way to win for a woman. If you choose to do something about the shame that’s getting heaped on you, by fixing your face, then you’re going to get shamed for that– And if you don’t do it, you’re going to get shamed for that too.” – Paulina Porizkova

I also love Paulina and found this interesting. But honestly I wanted to hear from Paulina. There was way too much talking from Teri. I dislike when interviewers do so much of the talking that their guests are reduced to listening to them.
