Miranda Kerr

“As a child, I was very active. I was a gymnast, I played touch football, netball and basketball. When I was 16 years old, I started yoga. I started working out at an early age.”

“It doesn't matter who you are: being human is being human. Everyone has days that are challenging.”

“I really feel that my body craves to be in the mountains or by the ocean or in the countryside.”

“A nice person is a 'yes' person, whereas a good person is a person who accepts their responsibility in things and moves forward and tries to constantly evolve and isn't afraid to say no or challenge someone or be honest or truthful.”

“My goal involves a hammock, a vegetable patch, and a solar-powered house. And I hope to eventually get there.”

“I guess I'm just an open-hearted, fair, good person. I try to encourage people to be their best and look inside themselves and find out what they are passionate about and expand on that and enjoy life.”

“People don't even realize the power the mind has over the body in the way you perceive things. Change your thoughts, change your reality. Words are powerful - every thought and every word we think has an effect on the body.”

“I have a weird sense of humour. My dad's the same. We love watching 'Monty Python' together.”

“Every day, I like to wake up and remind myself to be grateful of the simple things.”

“I love being outdoors. I love listening to the crickets. I want to embrace nature.”

“Everyone has a different beauty and different qualities and I think that women need to learn to love their qualities and be comfortable in the fact that everyone is different.”

“When I pray, I always thank Mother Nature for all the beauty in the world. It's about having an attitude of gratitude.”

“I find the practice of yoga very spiritual and taking the time to just be and to reflect through meditation and chanting helps me to connect to a higher energy.”

“I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness. Because just like a rose is beautiful, so is a sunflower, so is a peony. I mean, all flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that's like women too.”

“I love being outdoors and try to work out outside when I can. I spent most of my childhood outdoors.”

“I'm very direct. It's part of my personality. I've actually grown into that.”

“I've always had a burning desire to help people and make a difference in the world. I didn't know how I could do that in modelling when it can be such a fake world. But my dad told me I could make a difference by being true to myself and teaching people what I've learnt about spirituality, health and nutrition.”

“I work really, really hard and it's challenging going through all of those time zones and having to be awake when you're supposed to be asleep. I literally fly more than a pilot.”

“I consider myself a good person. And I think people perceive me to be, 'Oh, she's nice,' but being a good person, knowing your strengths and working towards those strengths, and encouraging those around you to do the same, that's a good person.”

“I really love a red lip, especially when I am feeling tired, as it brightens my whole face.”
