Heidi Klum

“I wanted to be a fashion designer.”

“I'm bad at baking. I'm bad at letting go of things. I'm probably bad at reading.”

“I am generally a very happy and easygoing person. I also believe it's always better to meet people with a smile rather than looking cold, especially when you first meet. It changes everything.”

“I grew up in a big family with a lot of kids around, and I definitely want to have children as well.”

“My boys wear red pants or crazy color tops. My kids are more fashion forward in their own dressing.”

“It's not like I'm this glamour diva who hands everything over and I just sit on my throne at home.”

“I always did feel beautiful when I was pregnant, but I do feel more me when I'm my normal size.”

“I sing a lot, even with my voice.”

“I'm not someone who plays hard to get. This whole thing about 'Oh, let's exchange numbers' and then people wait four or five days before they call you? I don't see the point. If you feel something, why would you let that pass? You only live once.”

“Keeping it all together as a modern woman means multitasking, especially when you work. I think you always need to try your best, but at the same time you can only do what you can do, and you don't need to beat yourself up about it. I'm not white-picket-fence perfect.”

“I am someone who always gets up again, even if there are setbacks. I have a survivor instinct. I'm not sure where it comes from, but probably from all the little things that make you into who you are.”

“Going blonde is like buying yourself a light bulb!”

“I feel like looking in the mirror when you brush your teeth, yes, I see lines, and then I smile and I see things here and there. But that's just, you know, you - that's your journey, you know?”

“If you love what you do, then you always find the time.”

“For me, my No. 1 priority in life was to always have a family. If I had not been able to work anymore, then that would have been it. I would definitely choose family over career. It's really great that my field has allowed me to work and let me do things that a woman does naturally.”

“It's important for children to see what's out there and learn that it's fun to go.”

“Well, I was already so happy being chosen to do the issue itself, that when I got on the cover, it was even more of a surprise and even more amazing to me.”

“I think if you give your best as a parent, then that's all you can do.”

“But all the money in the world cannot make you happy either, so there has to be a balance.”

“Apart from sharing my tips on toys or snacks, I'm open to hearing new ideas from other moms. I want to learn, too.”
