I know everyone hates when I say this, they think it's a cliché, but if you don't feel good in the bathing suit you're not going to look good. Confidence is really important.

The world should not be exclusive of the ideal body. It has to include all ideals, all bodies.

On whether Blurred Lines' video is sexist: I don't. I really appreciate the people who watch out for that stuff, and I'm sensitive to those sort of things. On the surface level, the naked women dancing, I understand that can be perceived that way. But we're directed to have a sort of confidence, a sarcastic attitude about the whole situation.

I'm a young woman who lives in a world of social media; I'll post boring things too!

The attention from the fashion world is something that I didn't expect. I've shot with Bruce Weber and met Karl Lagerfeld. Having that kind of attention is really exciting.

One thing that I've found is that people could relate and see different qualities in the video that they enjoyed. That wasn't something I was necessarily expecting.

I think everyone has their awkward phases. Growing up isn't easy for everyone.
