I have a paralyzing fear of snakes.Collection: Fear
I don't ever want to be a person that I'm not. A lot of girls fall into the trap where they are trying to impress other people, and that's the time when they lose themselves.
I'm actually an equestrian, and I showed in the American Paint Horse Association and competed for top 20 in the nation.
I hate exercising self-control.
I'm not going to starve just to be thin... I want to enjoy life and I can't if I'm not eating and miserable.
I grew up in Florida riding horses, so for the majority of my life I was either in boots and jeans or a bathing suit.
So if I get pegged as a bikini girl, that's fine, and that can still translate into acting or other areas. But, no, I don't wanna be doing bikini shoots my whole life.
Anywhere in life, for girls there's pressure to keep your weight and to keep yourself feeling and looking good.
If I can help and influence girls who are going through body-image issues then I think that's amazing.
I'm sure every designer has a certain person in mind who they would ideally like to wear their clothes, but the problem is that a lot of the time that person doesn't actually exist, unless she is a 15-year-old model.
My dream was always to be on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated.'
So, I have my own horse and two ponies. I grew up around horses, and that really is my passion.
I want to be able to sing well, but I have the worst voice in the world.
I just think that pick-up lines in general are horrible. None of them work.
I was at a photo shoot, and I was wearing a cross necklace that my mom bought me, and somebody made a joke like, 'Why are you wearing a cross? Like you would be religious.' And then they took it away. I was really affected by that. The whole thing made me realize that I do want a cross with me at all times.
After my first 'Sports Illustrated' cover, I felt terrible about myself for a solid month. People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. I'm not a toy; I'm a human. I'm not here to be used.
You have to think hard with a tattoo. 'What will I love for the rest of my life?'
I can't change my bra size. They're natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can't change some things. I really just live my life. I love my body. It's what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.
I've always loved fashion, but it's not what I set out to do.
I always had career goals. And I figured out a path I wanted to take to accomplish those goals. If that meant calling the best modeling agency in the world, that's what it meant.
I would love to have my own lingerie line.
I think the fame aspect, there was definitely a period when I had to get used to it. My family had to get used to it, too. It's exciting.
I think twerking is overrated.
I think it's very hard to find a good friend. That's why I'm so lucky to have two sisters, because they're my best friends, and they have to be with me forever. They're stuck with me.
I'm hoping they slow down a little bit with technology, because I'm just trying to keep up.
My mom is from Texas, but I was raised in Florida.
Listen: I like my bikinis very small, and I also like, uh, nude-colored bikinis because people double-take - they think I'm naked on the beach.
I can never find the right bras.
My mom played every sport possible. My dad is 'extremely' competitive. You can't even play Ping-Pong with him.
People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. It's actually funny. I'm always like, I'm about to pull something on you, and you're so focused on thinking I'm dumb, you're not even going to know.
I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.Collection: Beauty

To me, what's sexy is when you look like you're having a good time. That, and when you look effortless and have messy hair.Collection: Sexy
I think that glamour is about confidence. I think however somebody feels beautiful, that's glamour.Collection: Beautiful
I think that everybody has hard work side, no matter what your job is, you have bad days, you have people you don't get along with. The thing about modeling is every single day you're working with a completely new team so every single day is your first day of work or your first day of school. And you can't really have an off day because that will be the only experience they have with you.Collection: Team

I understand why my male followers like me.Collection: Males
he things that they’re rejecting are things that I can’t change. I can’t change my bra size. They’re natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can’t change some things. I really just live my life. I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.Collection: Love Life
I'm pretty competitive. I talk a big game - even when I'm going to lose.Collection: Games
Fashion can give you confidence. And things have definitely changed in the industry, mostly for the positive. We're more accepting now. For me, someone like Ashley Graham, who loves her body and is always talking about it, is inspiring.Collection: Fashion

I think something that's so amazing, and why I really wanted to get into modeling, was to be able to travel, to be able to see the world and live in this glamorous world and meet all these different people.Collection: Thinking
Nikolaj [Coster-Waldau] plays one of the ugliest villains. We had to create such a horrible guy, because he is the bad guy in the [The Other Woman] movie. We took him as far pathologically as possible.Collection: Play
I could go anywhere, but I always like to have a bit of a feminine touch to everything I do.Collection: Feminine
I like to laugh. I like to have a good time. I don't like to be so serious about things, so I would want a guy who would want to laugh and have a good time, too.Collection: Laughing
I knew nothing about fashion growing up, because in Florida you just wear bikinis and flip-flops. But kids can be cruel, and they used to make fun of me for having long legs and bushy eyebrows. My mom would flip through magazines and say, "Look, all these models have that too." I decided I wanted to be a model.Collection: Mom
