"I went to New York for three days to model, and then I spent a winter in  New York in a friend's windowless basement apartment. I was broke, I  was taking class at the Joffrey Ballet, and my knees gave out. I  realized I couldn’t dance anymore, and I went into a major depression.  My mom came over from South Africa and said, "Either you figure out what  to do next or you come home, because you can sulk in South Africa."
