I was almost tragically shy, like, clinically. I should’ve been admitted somewhere. I think my parents knew, but maybe they didn’t think much about it. It’s hard walking the Earth shy. You miss out on a lot. – Joelle Carter
The first entry into modeling doesn’t build your confidence. They pull out the tape measure and pick you apart. I’m a curvy woman, so I was definitely told I was ‘too curvy.’ – Joelle Carter
I’d like to play a mixture of Lucille Ball meets Murphy Brown meets Glenn Close on ‘Damages,’ to keep a little bit of the darkness in there. I like dark comedy a lot. – Joelle Carter
I think everyone should take an acting class. It’s like therapy because you get to learn a lot about yourself if it’s the right teacher. You’re putting yourself up there in front of people, and it takes a lot of the intimidation of everyday away. – Joelle Carter
My husband’s a little younger than me. When I first started dating him, I just fell mad for him. I made a deal with myself: I was like, ‘I’m not gonna get weird about what the future might be. I’m just going to be in every moment I can and enjoy us to the fullest.’ I told him that, too. – Joelle Carter
Living in Georgia, I never wanted to model. But I had the travel bug big time when I was young. I think because I had an all-American look, I was great for catalogs. They constantly sent me overseas for editorial, but I would always come back with catalog jobs. I was fine with that. It served my purpose to see the world. – Joelle Carter
