On 'America's Top Model,' I've always told my girls to smile with their eyes. We call it 'smizing.' Over the years, it's actually become part of pop culture. I would be walking down the street, and girls would say, 'Smize!'

I can't stand when girls come to me and say they want to be a model, but they can't tell me who the top three photographers are in the world.
