Answering the question, "Why did God make some people more gorgeous than others?" as quoted by The Independent (UK) 19 February 2004 http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/heidi-klum-you-ask-the-questions-757078.html. <br class="br">Context: I think that everybody is beautiful in his or her own way. If you smile a lot and are confident, then you are a gorgeous person. I don't know whether my looks come from God. I'm not really religious. I don't really know what I am. I'm just trying to be a good person. I am who I am.
