I grew up in Florida riding horses, so for the majority of my life I was either in boots and jeans or a bathing suit.
The things that they're rejecting I can't change. I can't change my bra size. They're natural. I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can't change some things. I really just live my life. love my body. It's what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.
I don't ever want to be a person that I'm not. A lot of girls fall into the trap where they are trying to impress other people, and that's the time when they lose themselves.
So if I get pegged as a bikini girl, that's fine, and that can still translate into acting or other areas. But, no, I don't wanna be doing bikini shoots my whole life.
I want to enjoy life, and I can't if I'm not eating and miserable.
I hate exercising self-control.
I want to be able to sing well, but I have the worst voice in the world.
Anywhere in life, for girls there's pressure to keep your weight and to keep yourself feeling and looking good.
I'm sure every designer has a certain person in mind who they would ideally like to wear their clothes, but the problem is that a lot of the time that person doesn't actually exist, unless she is a 15-year-old model.
I'm a horseback rider. I know how to use a whip.
Normally, when you go to a beach, everybody is wearing bikinis, but on a film, you're the only one. There's like 60 people staring at you. They're doing their jobs, but they're still staring at you.
My mom played every sport possible. My dad is 'extremely' competitive. You can't even play Ping-Pong with him.
I've always loved fashion, but it's not what I set out to do.
I think the fame aspect, there was definitely a period when I had to get used to it. My family had to get used to it, too. It's exciting.
