“My mom never used to put makeup on. But one day, when I was a kid, she had a red lip, and I was like, 'Oh my God, you look so amazing!' She said, 'But if I wore it all the time, you would not have noticed.'”

“Every model aspires to get contracts, so I have been very lucky with Dolce & Gabbana to be able to get that before I even really started as a model.”

“I'm really tired, incredibly tired of hearing people say that fashion is behind anorexia.”

“I just realized some things make me happier, and the good weather in California makes me happier.”

“It's easy for me to stay grounded because I know I am just a girl, a mother, a daughter, a lover... a normal person who was lucky enough to do this job, and I know it's my job - not the person I am.”

“You keep dreaming big, never put the limit on your dreams, and believe that everything can come true.”

“I've learned more from makeup artists in my nine years of modeling than from my mother. She always told me not to wear any makeup. I try to keep my skin and hair clean and give them a rest when I'm not working.”

“When you wear your signature scent, you feel something special from within.”

“I'll sometimes go and do a sunbed, but never spray tan.”

“I love to go to the beach or stay at the pool with my girls - enjoy the sun and the water as much as I can, take rides with the bicycles, and spend time with my family.”

“I wouldn't know the political solution to ending the conflict in those countries that refugees escape from. The only thing I know for sure, however, is that we need to help these people.”

“My perfect day would start with a kiss from my daughter. I would drive her to school listening to our favourite punk rock music on loud in the car.”

“I really love doing simple things. I'm surrounded by people all the time at work, so I want to have a normal life when I'm off duty: motherhood, food, and love!”

“I like to wear colors and prints in the summer and play with extravagant accessories.”

“אני צריכה לתת לעור ולשיער שלי דחיפת לחות. אני משתמשת בשמן לשיער בקצוות לפני שאני עולה למטוס ותמיד מתיזה תרסיס פנים במהלך הטיסה.”

“אני ממש עייפה, ממש נמאס לי לשמוע אנשים אומרים שהאופנה היא מאחורי האנורקסיה.”

“אמא שלי אף פעם לא נהגה להתאפר. אבל יום אחד, כשהייתי ילדה, הייתה לה שפה אדומה, ואני הייתי כמו, 'אלוהים אדירים, את נראית כל כך מדהים!' היא אמרה, 'אבל אם הייתי עושה זאת כל הזמן, לא היית שמה לב'.”

“ההגדרה שלי ליופי היא אושר. אני מאמינה שכשאתה מאושר, רואים את זה, וזה הופך אותך לאדם מושך ויפה יותר!”

“יש לי מזל גדול: יש כל כך הרבה דוגמניות שנראות כל כך מיוחדות והופכות לדוגמניות הפופולריות של הרגע. יש לה מראה כל כך ייחודי ומיוחד, בעוד שאני יותר קלאסית במראה.”

“התחלתי לעבוד כדוגמנית כי נולדתי רזה. לא נהייתי רזה כדי להיות דוגמנית.”
