You have two kids. Would you ever encourage them to go into modeling?
No, you have to have chops for it, and Savannah is too fragile and sweet and sensitive. You can’t be that sensitive to be a model. You just can’t. You have to be desensitized to your beauty. She doesn’t have it.

What if she wanted to be an actress?
She does want to be an actress, and that’s a different story. You have to be sensitive to be an actress. You have to have sensitivity to have skill. No, she doesn’t have it to be a model. It’s not the same thing.

Did you ever want to become an actress? A lot of models have moved onto the world of acting.
No, I’m in a movie called 'Wassup Rockers.' I’ve done a few movies, but I don’t like acting. I have no talent in remembering lines. I just don’t have it.

I want to talk about 'America’s Next Top Model.' Are you still feuding with Tyra?
No, I never feuded with her. What are you talking about? I never feuded with her once. I debate Tyra. There’s a big difference.

So there are no bad feelings at all because of how you left the show?
No, I’m still on the show. I’m on eight episodes of the show.

So you don’t have any bad feelings about not being a judge anymore?
No. I have my own show. Why would I?

How do you feel about your replacement, Twiggy?
I don’t feel at all about her. I have no thoughts about her. I’m not trying to be glib; I just don’t have any thoughts.

You were on the 'The Surreal Life.' What was that like?
Horrible. It was a toxic experience. I took the money and paid for my daughter’s education. I took the money and ran. I wasn’t drinking, I wasn’t sleeping, I wasn’t screwing.

Do you wish you'd never gone on?
No, because it paid for my daughter’s school!

Have you kissed and made up with Omarosa?
No, why would I? She’s a whore. Why would I? She’s a toxic human being.

Will there be a season two of your show?
Absolutely. It’s a hit on the Oxygen Network -- 1.8 million people tuned into watch it. I’ve achieved what I set out to do, entertained people with a docudrama of my life as a single mom trying to adjust and find the balance of becoming a model agent, which I’ve done. I’ve got 22 kids that I’m getting work for, and I’m very happy.

In season two, will you be doing casting calls again, or will we just be following the models you have now?
Absolutely. I’m always on the lookout for the next big thing.
