I didn't expect myself to be perfect my first season because no one ever pulled me aside and said "This is how you walk."
Gigi HadidI've learned that if I only put my mind to one thing that I can get tunnel vision. Then I may not be as open to other opportunities because I'm so focused on one thing. I think what's worked better for me personally is I have three goals every day: be nice, work hard and make friends. Those are my daily goals, and I feel like those are the things that create opportunity and creating connections that will then lead to other things that I may not have planned for otherwise.
Gigi HadidThe most hurtful thing to me is when people try to put assumptions on me and my relationship because that is not OK. Love is something that's really serious and private that you can't try to claim or know.
Gigi HadidWhen I moved to New York, leggings were always a staple piece in my closet and I'm always with leggings, a T-shirt, a cool jacket and shoes cause that's what would be easier for me when I was a kid.
Gigi HadidI grew up as a horseback rider and a volleyball player so honestly when I got a gym membership in New York, I thought I was going to die.
Gigi HadidRecently, I kind of found that if I just step into my own skin and relax and just walk like I'm just walking down the street, it always looks better than if you try too many cool moves.
Gigi HadidHonestly my style sense, I guess, started in high school when I was a volleyball player. That was just what I wore: leggings every single day with my sports bra so I didn't have to change into it in the girls' gym locker room and that's kind of how it started.
Gigi HadidI feel like when I'm working and when it's not my time off, I like working out alone because it's kind of like that time that my mind gets to just shut off and I can just focus on working on being a better boxer.
Gigi HadidI am double jointed in my elbow. So I can turn it all the way around and then bend it so it looks like it's broken.
Gigi HadidMy idea of happiness is effortless happiness. The things that ground you. For me it's art and cooking, for example, and when I can be with my friends and the people I love and do simple things. That's when I'm the happiest.
Gigi HadidMy stepdad always said, "If you're going to believe the good, you're going to believe the bad." I think that's really important.
Gigi HadidI 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.
Gigi HadidThere were a lot of times where I didn't get any shows and even until recently got a lot of kind of negative commentary from social media about my runway walk.
Gigi HadidI'm an athletic person. But I love my body because I know what it's been through to be what it is. And honestly I'm not going to change for someone that is depressed about their life.
Gigi HadidI try to be more goofy when I'm on set now that I'm more comfortable. In real life, I'm so goofy and super weird. I'm never mean but people don't see the weird side of me.
Gigi HadidI make this really good tomato soup from scratch and I do it with grilled cheese sandwich dippers on the side. That's really, really, really good. And my grandma loves that. My grandma is the best cook ever so for her to love that makes me think it's probably the best thing I make.
Gigi HadidBella [Hadid] is also very naturally gifted in beauty so she can also go whenever she wants to go to the gym.
Gigi HadidI have so much respect for people that can do it [tredmill running], I wish I could because it looks really cool and really fun.
Gigi HadidI've always been more of the athlete in my family, but Bella [Hadid] is just good at - when she needs buckle down for like two weeks and be in [the gym] every day, she's really good at that.
Gigi HadidSo many women around the world in so many different career paths and places are expected to be perfect and I know that it sounds clichรฉ, but none of us are.
Gigi HadidMy fitness inspiration has always been athletes, my whole life. Serena Williams is a great friend of mine and Ronda Rousey - we did Sports Illustrated together. Obviously, following powerful women and seeing their bodies and how hard they work is really inspiring to me.
Gigi HadidWhen I moved to New York, obviously I work with a lot of high fashion brands and I get to wear insane, totally crazy bags and all this crazy stuff but still, I'll always go back to my original sense of style.
Gigi HadidI've met people and have mentors that have taught me and I'm still trying to get better today.
Gigi HadidIf I'm telling people I'm boxing and then I'm eating a burger tonight, it's because I am. I'm not cheating and eating a salad and then being like "Yeah! Burgers are cool!"
Gigi HadidSometimes things aren't a dream because you don't really think it's a possibility. So my goal on a daily basis is just to go to work and be someone that people like to be around. I just want to work hard and be nice to people, and I feel like when you touch people in that way, on a more personal level, then they go to work the next day pushing for you. And that's when an opportunity comes that you wouldn't have even expected otherwise.
Gigi HadidI started going to castings a few years ago when people didn't know who I was. People forget about [that time] because they've seen my career - the path that it's had in the last couple years.
Gigi HadidMy coaches are always my friends. I've always had a coach a year of my life and they're really important part of being a better human for me.
Gigi HadidJust be nice to people and be someone people want to work with because if people don't like working with you it's just not going to work out.
Gigi HadidI read one thing, and 100 people can say good things then you read one bad thing that says you're the worst and you believe them.
Gigi HadidI get to go back and ride my horses with all the people that I grew up with because that's really fun for me.
Gigi HadidI used to go on runs, it's kind of hard for me now unfortunately in Paris because it's a little bit hectic. My knees aren't that great, so recently I haven't been on the treadmill that much but that's why I like to box on a soft floor. It's good for me.
Gigi HadidI post pictures that I want to post and say what I want to say. If that's three times a day or three times per month then whatever.
Gigi HadidWhen I'm on the road, a lot of the times - even though people don't really think it - we walk on heels and the runways are really long! My legs get a pretty good workout just from being on the runway.
Gigi HadidI was always in front of the camera. My mom was really passionate about photography - I have pictures of my whole life. I've always just been in front of my mom's camera and it's always comfortable to me.
Gigi HadidMy biggest fear is the people I love not knowing how much I love them. I just want to remind people all the time.
Gigi HadidI feel like I try to keep learning every time I step off a runway, I try to get better with each one.
Gigi HadidI'd say probably the most epic experience was before the Victoria's Secret show - I think it was before the casting - and I saw Naomi Campbell at a party. I was saying that I was nervous about my walk and she said "Come to my hotel tomorrow and we're going to practice." So I went in New York and we practiced in the hallway of her hotel with all of the hotel staff watching. She just said "Don't even flinch. Keep going!" It was hilarious, but I think that was kind of a confidence booster.
