I grew up with a lot of body image issues - not just about my weight, but I would always see these perfect orb, domed boobs on television, and think, "Mine don't look like that." I thought there was something wrong with me.

You have to fight because you can't count on anyone else fighting for you. And you have to fight for people who can't fight for themselves. To get anything of real value, you have to fight for it.

The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue really sets the social standard for what people expect the perfect woman's body to look like, and a lot of those bodies usually look the same.

If you work hard the fight's easy. If you don't work hard then the fight's hard.

Sports Illustrated is very serious about their covers. They'll never say, like, 'Oh you got it.'

Strong and healthy is the new sexy.

Some people like to call me cocky or arrogant, but I just think 'how dare you assume I should think less of myself'
