“My dreams came true while wearing the opening look from the spring/summer 2010 Dior ready-to-wear collection. I will never forget how special I felt opening John Galliano's show, like I was living a dream.”

“I grew six inches in a year.”

“I just keep thinking how lucky I am that I haven't had to sacrifice anything.”

“Ballet really taught me so much about the power of movement.”

“Because I'm so tall, clothes look different on me than they do on others.”

“I'm learning Spanish - I got Rosetta Stone for Christmas.”

“My favourite place to eat is my grandma's kitchen. She makes a mean crab cake.”

“I think to have the skill set and the ability to physically help others in matters of life and death must be incredibly empowering.”

“I wish I could fly. Or speak fluent Chinese. Both I think are equally impossible.”

“I have a necklace with a golden key, given to me by my sisters, which I always wear.”

“You have to grow thick skin and that only comes with time and learning.”

“By the end of Fashion Week my apartment is covered with makeup and clothes and shoes. Everything you can think of.”

“I love being a part of something so many people can relate to and enjoy.”

“I think that taking ballet is one of the best things a girl can do. Period.”

“There's no time for boys in my life right now.”

“I am very lucky to be surrounded and guided by an incredible support team comprised of my family and agents.”

“I loved everything about Spain - the people, the language, and the food!”

“I would love to rent a little cottage or cabin in Colorado and learn to ski or snowboard. And on the warmer side, I also want to rent a house in Hawaii and learn to surf!”

“You learn to control every aspect of your muscles, your face, your toes, your fingernails. And that is how you tell a story, through movement.”
