For me it's always about trying to consistently maintain a fit and body-conscious eating schedule so three days before I'm not like, 'Oh my God - I have a bathing suit shoot I have to do.'
Your bikini should compliment your dress, and they should work together to frame your body. It's just like layering a T-shirt under a blazer. Just keep your proportions in mind.
I'm really sick of the 'one percent' that is taking all the money from this country, draining the middle class, making it nonexistent.
Nudity isn't something people should take offense to.
I always say, 'Do you have a body? Then you're swimsuit ready.' That's all you need to worry about.
It's absurd to think that desire for attention doesn't drive both women and men. Why are women scrutinized for it more, then?
The thing to know is love yourself and find the bathing suits that make you feel comfortable and just rock it.
I started modeling when I was - not older, but not 12. I have a mom who's a feminist - she's an English professor, an intellectual. She really gave me the equipment to understand that you can celebrate yourself without putting yourself down or needing to apologize for the way you look. I think that attitude is really crucial for a model.
I enjoy modeling. I feel that acting is more fulfilling for me, and you definitely have a lot more to contribute as an actress than you do as a model, but that being said, when I shoot with a really incredible photographer, it's exciting and inspiring.
It's rare to meet somebody who's secure with herself, confident in who they are, and doesn't have anything to apologize for.
It sounds really cliched, but just be true to who you are.
I'm not always going to like the paparazzi photos, but I'm still going to go to lunch with my boyfriend.
The attention from the fashion world is something that I didn't expect. I've shot with Bruce Weber and met Karl Lagerfeld. Having that kind of attention is really exciting.
Generally, I just think there is a real lacking in men knowing how to hit on women.
I'm not about anything special - I don't use a trainer or anything like that. And really just eating healthy, eating balanced, knowing what is good and, when you push it too far, easing up and getting back on track.
I grew up eating street tacos and burritos on the beach, so I like people who can eat and aren't afraid to show it.
Pop music is always great for keeping the energy up, but it can get really old, especially after eight hours, just because there aren't that many great pop songs.
I'm a carnivore. I really like to eat meat. I crave iron, so I am definitely not the kind of person who you will find eating a salad.
There's nothing wrong with being comfortable in your own skin. If anything, it can be really beautiful.
I didn't necessarily intend it for myself, but it just happens with Instagram and Twitter; people come up to me and call me Emrata; they don't call me Emily. That's my brand, my identity.
