A biography for Coco Rochahasn’t been written yet.
“I've always thought of modeling as a performance, so I don't mind kind of pretending. I kind of pretend in a lot of my poses that I am a ballerina or a hip-hop dancer or a grunge performer.”
“In the beginning, the clients would say, 'This is too much,' but over time, the ones I liked kept working with me. They'd say, 'It's not too much. Coco can still be Coco. She still gives 100 percent when she's on a photo shoot.'”
“I'm obsessed with historical English royalty.”
“I will definitely hook up my daughter if she decides to be a model.”
“Everyone always remembers my dancing.”
“I hate when people say models don't have personalities; what does that even mean? Everyone has a personality.”
“At the beginning of my career, I was nervous to talk. I was just a very young girl. You don't want to upset anyone or frustrate anyone - you just want to work.”
“If you are a new, upcoming designer, you've got to think of new, cool ways to make the industry look at you. Don't just get stuck in a rut, show your clothes, and be like, 'You should like this.'”
“I hate when people say, 'Well, this is unfair for the underdog.' Well, the underdog should try harder.”
“Moms or soon-to-be-moms put a lot of pressure on themselves.”
“I'm that type of person that loves change.”
“Braveness, for me, is running into my basement with no socks on. There are huge spiders down there!”
“I won't work with Terry Richardson again.”
“I don't think it's fair for people to put fellow beings down just because they're only known for their looks.”
“Nowadays, we have to break the molds to what it means to be a model in 2016.”
“Designers from Milan think that 'more is more,' like Cavalli and Dolce & Gabbana.”
“I think, as long as you're secure with yourself and happy with yourself, it really doesn't matter what the world around you thinks.”
“I think being true to yourself is ultimately the best way of living.”
“So many girls second-think their pose or what they're doing. And, in turn, the photos will come out really unnatural. I say to really give the camera a performance - that, and make sure you're comfortable with how you look, and give it a good smile and a filter.”
“I think balancing work and family takes constant adjustment. Its not something you can say you've accomplished and move on.”
