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.

I’m actually an equestrian, and I showed in the American Paint Horse Association and competed for top 20 in the nation.

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.

I have to say, the other day I was reading some negative comments, and I was thinking they were really funny. So I guess they don't anymore.

I think as long as you look like your having a good time, I'm impressed. Because I have a lot of energy, and I like being around it all the time. If you're just sitting in the corner, I probably won't notice you.

I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.

I'm a horseback rider. I know how to use a whip.
