My children love everything that sparkles. My boys just go with everything and make it their own, but my daughter is a little upset because she is 9 and I only go to 5, so sometimes she squeezes herself into a five, and she is trying to make that work because she wants to wear it, too.
I wouldn't push my kids to do anything. I want them to be happy, healthy, and I want them to be who they want to be, you know?
I'm a big believer in to-do lists. I think of five things in the shower. I set goals and get my work done, but I have to plan for fun things, too. I'm always thinking about what will make my family happier. So I set up playdates and trips.
I learned from working in the fashion world that if I have a day when I feel slapped in the face, or if someone has been mean, I just have to get back up and it will be another day. I think about what I'm grateful for. I look at my kids and my husband and think, Wow, I'm a really lucky person.
You shouldn't wait for other people to make special things happen. You have to create your own memories.
When you are just muscle, you end up being gaunt in the face, and that makes you look older by 5 or 10 years. I don't think of getting older as looking better or worse; it's just different. You change, and that's OK.
Your kids are happy if you're happy. And if your love is happy, then everything works. I think a lot of people think once the children are there, it's all about the children. But you can't forget about your best friend, your lover, your husband.
For me, my No. 1 priority in life was to always have a family. If I had not been able to work anymore, then that would have been it. I would definitely choose family over career. It's really great that my field has allowed me to work and let me do things that a woman does naturally.
Pursue success, long after any sane person would have given up.Collection: Long

Women often approach me with a question- "Will I look like you after I give birth?". I say to them- "Well, have you looked like me before?". People, do not be fooled.Collection: People
I think if you put a smile on people's faces, they give that back to you.Collection: Thinking
For me, life is about enjoying yourself because you only live once. We should try to make the most of things and follow our dreams.Collection: Dream
My philosophy is that, in life, you have to want something. If you just say "la-la-la" and go through life without a goal, nothing will happen.Collection: Philosophy
Have fun - a smile is the most beautiful thing on a woman.Collection: Beautiful
Keep it simple. You don't want to overdo it with too much makeup or crazy, over-the-top hairstyles. Let your natural beauty show through.Collection: Crazy

I'm European. I don't like wearing tops. And I don't like tan lines.Collection: Lines
I don't think of getting older as looking better or worse; it's just different. You change, and that's OK. Life is about change. I don't have anxiety about it, so I'm not running to get Botox. Maybe that will change, but I don't think so. I feel comfortable in my skin and comfortable with ageing, so I think it's okay that I get wrinkles.Collection: Running
It's important to teach your kids the value of being active by setting a good example.Collection: Kids
You have to just do your thing. As long as you don't hurt anybody along the way.Collection: Hurt

I was determined to experience the birth, and I am so scared at the thought of having my abdomen cut open. So I was lucky that the birth went very smoothly.Collection: Cutting
I'm not someone who plays hard to get. This whole thing about "Oh, let's exchange numbers" and then people wait four or five days before they call you? I don't see the point. If you feel something, why would you let that pass? You only live once.Collection: People
With my busy schedule, it's impossible to have a set fitness routine. So instead I like to try and incorporate exercise into my daily life whenever I can - which requires some creativity.Collection: Creativity
It's not difficult for me to stay healthy. I like healthy food. It's also become a lifestyle for me and I need a certain fitness level to be able to travel and have good skin and nails. If I ate worse then it would be difficult for me to keep up and it also wouldn't be so good for my looks either.Collection: Healthy
I spend a lot of time with my family. I go to bed early, don't watch too much television, don't read everything that's written about me whether positive or negative.Collection: Bed
To me, life is about creating memories. The regular days kind of just blend in. You have to create special times so that you will always remember them.Collection: Memories
I don't flirt. It's disrespectful to your husband. I would never do that. I'm very devoted, and he's the same.Collection: Husband
Nowadays children look at everyone in the magazines and they want to be a basketball star or on a television show, but there is only so many people who can do those things and not that you shouldn't aim or dream for these things, but there are so many other fantastic jobs. So it's good to talk about how to get there and how difficult it is to get there.Collection: Basketball
When I came to America, I was really into all the things people eat here. . . . People called me Muffin because I would eat muffins all the time.Collection: America
I learned not to go in the sun early on in my career. A tan lasts for a week or two before it fades, and the sun is so damaging—it's not worth it. I put sunscreen on my kids every day before school and before they play outside. They know the routine.Collection: Kids
I have the most romantic husband. I do.Collection: Husband
I don't think it makes a difference if you have children or you don't have children. I think it's all in the head about how you feel and, I don't know, I always like to be active and work out and eat right and just be active so I never see it as, oh when you're a mom you can't be sexy or you can't be in lingerie anymore looking good.Collection: Mom
I never really have any major resolutions. I do try to be a good person, to be a good mom, to be a good wife, I don't really start the year off on January 1, 'Oh, I am now going to make a big change.' I try every day when I wake up to be good to the people around me.Collection: Mom
My career never suffered from my not being skinny. I never did catwalk work because I was always too big. I couldn't get the clothes over my hips.Collection: Careers
It's important to keep a balanced diet, but I'm not a fan of deprivation. If I want a cheeseburger, I am not only going to eat that cheeseburger, but I'm going to enjoy that cheeseburger.Collection: Important
A sense of duty - you only really get this feeling when you have a child. You always only used to be responsible for yourself and then there is also a child.Collection: Children
Everyone has a view of what’s pretty and what’s not pretty, and [plastic surgery] just doesn’t look pretty to me.Collection: Views
The trick is that you have to stay naked. You must be naked.Collection: Naked
When I won the competition, I had just been offered a job as a designer in Düsseldorf, so that's probably what I'd be doing now. It can be fascinating to consider how your life might have turned out, like in the movie Sliding Doors, but I'm too busy to look back.Collection: Jobs
In terms of being naked, I'm not very prudish.Collection: Naked
Models have a sell-by date. There are certain jobs I don't do anymore, like the young, sexy, cute things for teenagers, or even 25-year-old girls. I go in a different bracket now.Collection: Cute
People always starve themselves, and then they get hungry, and then they eat the wrong things, like chips or cookies or whatever they can grab.Collection: People
I just like to hear that guys have the same problems that we do.Collection: Guy
No bread. That's the most important thing.Collection: Important
Modeling is a great job to be in. You travel the world. You stay in one of the most fantastic places in the world. It is not always as glamorous as it looks, it's a lot of hard work, too, but it's a lot of fun at the same time.Collection: Positive
My best advice is to work out with a buddy. They keep you motivated and get you out of bed.Collection: Work Out
