Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again. We are not here merely to make a living. We are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. We are here to enrich the world, and we impoverish ourself if we forget the errand. My goal is to not forget the errand. (MV - WOW, nice response!)

Has anyone every tried to hold you back in life? uh... yeah I believe a lot of people have tried. But I have learned that people who tear you down it is their way of feeling superior, they possess fears and insecurities and have no other way to handle those insecurities. Hurtful words can sting but only for a second because at that same second I turned those words around to build on my foundation of strength and determination. Some people would rather try to blame others to bring them down to their level rather than take responsibilities for their own actions but rather than feeling like I was taking their burden I was the reflection of who they wished to be. I
have learned I can only define myself and to accept no ones definition of my life. (MV - Ok, Clara for President!)
Is there a significant other in your life currently? No
What can guys do to be more attractive to women? Just be themselves at least in my eyes. You can only pretend to be someone you are not for so long. Dont try to do what you think the woman wants you to do.. do what feels right and be respectful, honest and open at all times.
If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would it be, and why? Meet anyone... I would have to say not neccessarially meet anyone but to have a few more moments with my mom that passed away in my arms a couple years ago would be nice.
Who has been the most insipiration person in your life? My mom
What advice do you have for upcoming models? Be yourself and have fun
What can fans do to support your career? Promote me as much as possible and sponsorships for events are always needed....
Any final farewell Message for fans? One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility. How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these. (MV - Philosophically lyrically resonating!)
