- Get a grip. The idea of the extreme makeover is disturbing.
- Back in the day I was doing runway, editorial, advertising, spokesmodeling, and public appearances. Those are five different categories. Your Twiggys and your Lauren Huttons weren't doing that. I was Versace's muse, I was Valentino's muse, I was Alaia's muse, Lancetti's muse, Calvin Klein's, Halston's. I could go on and on.
- [On her _"Surreal Life, The" (2003)_ (qv) co-star, 'Caprice Bourret' (qv)] Caprice is not a supermodel. She's some girl who developed a fake accent after moving to England, like 'Madonna (I)' (qv).

- Claims to have coined the term "supermodel" in 1979; however, the term was already in use before her time, such as a 1968 article in Glamour magazine describing 'Twiggy (I)' (qv), 'Cheryl Tiegs' (qv), 'Veruschka von Lehndorff' (qv), 'Jean Shrimpton' (qv) and fifteen other top models as "supermodels". This list as well as several other top models of the 1930s to early 1970s have been credited as "supermodels"', which dismisses Janice's claims as her being the "first supermodel" (her career began in late 1970s).
- Claims to be the first supermodel. However, it is commonly accepted that there are only five supermodels, and the following list does not include her: 'Claudia Schiffer' (qv), 'Christy Turlington' (qv), 'Cindy Crawford (I)' (qv), 'Naomi Campbell (I)' (qv), and 'Linda Evangelista' (qv).

- Her appearance on _"On-Air with Ryan Seacrest" (2004)_ (qv) was cut short because of her making obscene gestures and statements.
- Dickinson wrote of a rivalry between herself and 'Kimora Lee' (qv) when they both were on _"America's Next Top Model" (2003)_ (qv) in her book, "Everything about Me is Fake and I'm Perfect". Dickinson admits that she criticized Kimora's fake hair and nails, but says that she would have been much nicer if Kimora had shown up on time for filming.

- Says that the girls who win _"America's Next Top Model" (2003)_ (qv) are not of a high enough caliber to make it in the modeling business.
- In her autobiography, "No Lifeguard on Duty", she claims that she was partly responsible for her father's death because she had discarded his heart medication pills, and he had a heart attack that night and died. The statute of limitation for prosecuting Dickinson for the death of her father was up by the time the book was published.
- She was the fiancée of 'Sylvester Stallone' (qv) from December 1993 to July 1994. Sly thought that he was the father of her daughter Savannah, but when he discovered the truth, that the real father of girl was 'Michael Birnbaum' (qv), he left her.
