Kate Upton

“My mom is from Texas, but I was raised in Florida.”

“You have to think hard with a tattoo. 'What will I love for the rest of my life?'”

“I want to be able to sing well, but I have the worst voice in the world.”

“I'm actually an equestrian, and I showed in the American Paint Horse Association and competed for top 20 in the nation.”

“My dream was always to be on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated.'”

“I think twerking is overrated.”

“I think it's very hard to find a good friend. That's why I'm so lucky to have two sisters, because they're my best friends, and they have to be with me forever. They're stuck with me.”

“People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. It's actually funny. I'm always like, I'm about to pull something on you, and you're so focused on thinking I'm dumb, you're not even going to know.”

“Listen: I like my bikinis very small, and I also like, uh, nude-colored bikinis because people double-take - they think I'm naked on the beach.”

“I would love to have my own lingerie line.”

“I just think that pick-up lines in general are horrible. None of them work.”

“I have a paralyzing fear of snakes.”

“I don't ever want to be a person that I'm not. A lot of girls fall into the trap where they are trying to impress other people, and that's the time when they lose themselves.”

“I'm hoping they slow down a little bit with technology, because I'm just trying to keep up.”

“I'm sure every designer has a certain person in mind who they would ideally like to wear their clothes, but the problem is that a lot of the time that person doesn't actually exist, unless she is a 15-year-old model.”

“I'm not going to starve just to be thin... I want to enjoy life and I can't if I'm not eating and miserable.”

“I was at a photo shoot, and I was wearing a cross necklace that my mom bought me, and somebody made a joke like, 'Why are you wearing a cross? Like you would be religious.' And then they took it away. I was really affected by that. The whole thing made me realize that I do want a cross with me at all times.”

“So if I get pegged as a bikini girl, that's fine, and that can still translate into acting or other areas. But, no, I don't wanna be doing bikini shoots my whole life.”

“I hate exercising self-control.”

“I grew up in Florida riding horses, so for the majority of my life I was either in boots and jeans or a bathing suit.”
