I personally think my sister is so stunning without makeup. And she doesn't wear that much makeup because she has the best skin color.
I grew up on the beach, so I'm really comfortable in a bathing suit, playing volleyball, running around.
Boxing has been great for me because it's, like, my new sport, so it's something that I can get better at.
I pay attention to how every makeup artist does everything.
I think that it's nice when someone can go and look more exotic and do the girl-next-door thing as well.
I think that something photographers find about me is that I work really hard to make sure I know what they want before I start shooting.
My mom was a model, so she's been really good about giving me tips on how to navigate behind the scenes - like the importance of being nice to everyone on set and remembering people's names, to how to be a positive part of the photo shoot and stuff like that.
As long as they want me modeling, I'll be here. But I hope to maybe have a cooking show one day or host a talk show when I'm older and have a developed brand. That would be really fun.
If you look at sculptures from hundreds of years ago, everyone's naked. It's not a bad thing.
In third grade, I played basketball with the boys every day at lunch. I had braces that were yellow and purple, and I wore full Laker uniforms to school.
I'm always tan and blonde and don't really fit into New York. I'm a California girl, even if I try and cover it up with leather.
I'm really lucky to have a lot of friends in fashion. I don't know if that's common, but I just get along with a lot of people. My really close friends are Ireland Baldwin, Kendall Jenner, Lily Aldridge and Devon Windsor.
I personally would rather do the Master Cleanse for ten days than just eat salad for six months.
I eat healthy when I can; I eat a burger when I want, and I work out. You have to live with the routine that keeps your body the healthiest, and that's what I do - I don't change it for a swimsuit shoot. You have to figure out what works with your body the best.
