I grew up on the beach, so I'm really comfortable in a bathing suit, playing volleyball, running around.
When you're two, three, four years old, it's not really modelling. You run around, and they give you toys in a fun place, and they take pictures of you playing.
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.
Boxing has been great for me because it's, like, my new sport, so it's something that I can get better at.
A camel is a very awkward animal to ride, and it's very hard to get used to because they're not very graceful.
I pay attention to how every makeup artist does everything.
Once you just tell yourself, 'OK, I'm going to have a breakdown right now, and I'm going to cry for an hour, put my phone away. I'm going to go swimming, and then I'm gonna make my family dinner and lay on the couch and watch 'Ru Paul's Drag Race,'' once you accept that it's not the day and you can just have a breakdown, you're over it.
I'm all for one month of going really hard and eating really healthy and boxing every day if you're doing it for, like, one job.
I'm a really big Juice Press fan. There is a store right around the corner from my apartment in New York.
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.
