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 be able to sing well, but I have the worst voice in the world.

People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. It's actually funny. I'm always like, I'm about to pull something on you, and you're so focused on thinking I'm dumb, you're not even going to know.

I have a paralyzing fear of snakes.

I hate exercising self-control.

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.

After my first 'Sports Illustrated' cover, I felt terrible about myself for a solid month. People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. I'm not a toy; I'm a human. I'm not here to be used.

I was at a photo shoot, and I was wearing a cross necklace that my mom bought me, and somebody made a joke like, 'Why are you wearing a cross? Like you would be religious.' And then they took it away. I was really affected by that. The whole thing made me realize that I do want a cross with me at all times.

I'm actually an equestrian, and I showed in the American Paint Horse Association and competed for top 20 in the nation.

So, I have my own horse and two ponies. I grew up around horses, and that really is my passion.

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.

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.

I'm not going to starve just to be thin... I want to enjoy life and I can't if I'm not eating and miserable.

Anywhere in life, for girls there's pressure to keep your weight and to keep yourself feeling and looking good.

If I can help and influence girls who are going through body-image issues then I think that's amazing.

My dream was always to be on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated.'

I just think that pick-up lines in general are horrible. None of them work.

You have to think hard with a tattoo. 'What will I love for the rest of my life?'

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. I 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.
