I think fear is unavoidable and that, when recognized and embraced, its something that can work for you - especially in the audition room.

Dyeing my hair has become a kind of addiction. I can't see myself as anything other than blond. Once you go blond, you stay blond forever.

Sometimes my husband will surprise me with flowers for no reason. Unexpected romantic gestures are very important and keep things exciting.

The most beautiful things are not associated with money; they are memories and moments. If you don't celebrate those, they can pass you by.

I love being an advocate for women as we get older so that we can feel comfortable with ourselves. It's all about being healthy for me now.

Do I sometimes wish I were thinner? God, in the old days, absolutely I did, but now I feel that to lose weight would be disloyal to myself.

I do like a little make-up though. I like a little mascara and lip gloss at least. But when I go to the gym I'd feel weird wearing make-up.

Dinner is a great first date. Don't believe that stuff about girls not wanting to eat on a first date - sharing a romantic meal is so sexy.

I'm very neurotic about shaving. I shave first thing in the morning before a shoot, and if I have dinner that night, I have to shave again.

In the beginning of my career, I read an article about the reason that men always look five years younger than women is because they shave.

I've never asked for special treatment along the way. And I'm never going to hide the fact that I'm a girl, ever. That's obvious, isn't it?

All I can say is that the only person that can stop you from achieving your goals is yourself. If you believe, then everyone else will too.

You only hear the horror stories - that after a baby, you never get your body back - but it's not true; it depends on your life beforehand.

The great outdoors is a theme with me; a walking holiday in Scotland is perfect - Culloden and the forests of Aviemore are both favourites.

I've always believed everything was about protecting the Clinton power structure and anyone would be sacrificed who got in the way of that.

I wouldn't even have braces on my teeth. I think they are horrible and this idea that everyone should conform and be perfect is ridiculous.

I think just having smooth skin is so great because when you get your summer tan, you don't have to do anything. It's just soft and smooth.

I love sports - I used to play volleyball really competitively...I went to Junior Olympic qualifiers, and I've ridden horses my whole life.

What people want to know is, OK, what's after modeling? It's not just OK anymore to model until you're 25 and then stop and be a housewife.

I've been heartbroken. I've broken hearts. That's part of life, and its part of figuring out who you are so you can find the right partner.

Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.

I do the functional stuff. I go to the gym and do all these things by myself. I don't have a routine. I like to do new stuff all the times.

I grew up in an abusive home and was told on a daily basis by my father that I would never amount to anything and that I looked like a boy.

But you see, that's the gilded prison of fashion. We're riding in private jets, and meantime I was so incredibly, painfully sad and lonely.

I want to develop a small make-up line myself. I want to combine all the things that I love and just create them the way I want them to be.

When you look at the world, the world isn't just one palette. It's a beautiful rainbow, and why not have someone to represent that rainbow?

When you love yourself and are able to indulge in yourself, and you're grounded in your 'yes' or 'no,' it's nothing to ask a guy on a date.

I believe there are three keys to success. For me it is keeping my priorities in order: It's my faith and my family, and then the business.

Well, I didn't go to Julliard or anything. I'm basically self-taught. When I was younger, I wrote folk songs on a guitar my father gave me.

There'd never been a clothing line made by a young woman like me: a multiethnic woman who has one foot in Gucci and one foot in the ghetto.

When I was younger, most people thought my lips looked like Tweety Bird's - there were always comments like that from family and neighbors.

People strive to be models or actresses - but a lot of what you see isn't actually real. There is no perfect body. Everything is retouched.

Rod and I believe that it's our duty to set an example, which means teaching our children to treat others as they would wish to be treated.

I love living in Brooklyn. Originally I moved there because I could enjoy a bigger space for less money than I would ever get in Manhattan.

Fashion is such a weird thing. Growing up, I just made do with whatever I had access to - a lot of hand-me-downs and thrift store shopping.

In reality, if there are 200 people commenting on something online, it's less than a grain of salt in a huge beach of humanity - who cares?

I'm quite strong for a girl. I studied karate growing up - I'm a brown belt - and me and my sister used to beat the crap out of each other.

I think fear is unavoidable and that, when recognized and embraced, it's something that can work for you - especially in the audition room.

I like to surf. I like to play guitar. I want to do college classes online. I wanted to do marine biology for a long time, but I don't know.

I believe modeling is a combination of natural talent, the ability to adapt to different situations, hard work, and, most importantly, luck.

I finally feel like I'm becoming somebody. I really think like I can do something. I just know I'm going to be an actress. I want it so bad.

I feel like I'm just a woman like every woman. We have our doubts, which is better, because I always prefer to stay humble about everything.

I collect hats, and I'm really big into Stetsons. Not particularly the Stetsons brand but that sort of fedora-type. I just think it's sharp.

People are surprised at how down-to-earth I am. I like to stay home on Friday nights and listen to 'The Art of Happiness' by the Dalai Lama.

Actually, when I say my name in the U.S., people are like 'You're Elsa from Frozen!' And I'm like, I can't break their hearts, 'I could be!'

Natalia Vodianova is a model who always did it right. She was able to just put her personality out there, and I try to do that all the time.

One thing that I can say is that I think it's important that there's some sort of celebration of beautiful women that isn't just exploitive.

I basically stay in jewelry all the time. I have the same couple of necklaces, earrings, and rings, and they usually don't come off my body.

In Asia, it is very hectic - there is no overtime, no holidays, no weekends. It's pretty rushed because they are trying to cut the deadline.

The more you push, pass that pain, to feel the exhilaration of what that pain really delivers, then you will find the values of who you are.
