“It sounds really cliched, but just be true to who you are.”
“I don't believe in proving myself, ever. I'm in the school of thought where if someone is a curious person, they can find whatever they want.”
“I wouldn't say I am the type of girl who craves Doritos, but I definitely love a good cupcake sometimes. Or a croissant in the morning.”
“It's rare to meet somebody who's secure with herself, confident in who they are, and doesn't have anything to apologize for.”
“I met Patti Smith, which is not Hollywood, but that really blew my mind. I love her. We were at a very small party, too, on a boat, and I totally fanned out. I told her that I loved her, and wasn't cool at all.”
“A selfie is a sort of interesting way to reclaim the gaze, right? You're looking at yourself and taking a photo while looking at everyone. But also, who cares?”
“I feel like it's always about how this girl stays thin, or what one girl is doing to another, and it shouldn't be that way.”
“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.'”
“Honestly, I am not a huge beauty girl, so I'm pretty low-maintenance, California.”
“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 cook a lot, so that really helps: You know how much salt and sugar and all of that kind of stuff you are putting in your body.”
“When I was a little girl, I loved theater a lot and I was always playing and making my own worlds.”
