Rita Ora: “I’m An Example Of What You Can Achieve”

Published: Monday 17th Oct 2016 by Sam

Rita Ora continues to carve out quite the career.

Once the “new girl” on the Roc Nation roster, the Brit-bred belter has morphed into a multimedia maven.

Music, movies, fashion, endorsements, and philanthropy – you name it, she does it.

The latest role to add to her growing list of hustles is TV host. For, Ora has been tapped to front the revived ‘America’s Next Top Model‘ on VH1.

Set to kick off this December, the promo run has landed the star on the cover of Paper Magazine‘s November issue.

Beyond posing in an array of dazzling ensembles, the 25-year-old offered a number of notable quotes.

On How Her Success Can Inspire ANTM Contestants:

“I’m not here to tell them what to do. I’m here to show them that they can do this, too. I’m an example of what you can achieve because it’s worked.”

On Her New Album:

“I’m so happy [to go into the studio] because I can take my extensions out, put my cap on and hibernate in a cave and just make great songs with my label, who is awesome and who has my back.”

On Singing In Honor Of Mother Teresa:

“It was such a blur. Being Albanian [like Mother Teresa] and having the support from my country was really special. I kept thinking, how did I even get here with a veil on my head?”
