Miranda Kerr

“I want to be a good role model for girls and show them they can do whatever they feel passionate about and still live a healthy life.”

“I got stuck up a tree when I was about seven, and my dad had to come and get the ladder to get me down. I loved to climb all the way up to the top. I must have been a koala in my past life.”

“For me, family is life. The decision to start one wasn't complex at all. My career has been wonderful, but it's not my life. I don't feel pressure to get back to work.”

“My ambition comes from my passion: finding what I love and then expanding on that.”

“When I was young I wanted to be a gymnast. I used to compete at it, but then I grew too tall.”

“I love taking pictures of food.”

“When I get home, I'm not the boss like I am at work - I slip into a more feminine role. I take everything off and put on my Stella McCartney silk robe. I'll put on a red lip or red nails, and it lifts my mood. Sexy underwear also gives you a spark.”

“I think for any relationship to be successful, there needs to be loving communication, appreciation, and understanding.”

“I collect underwear from my travels. Lace, lingerie, bodysuits... they're like souvenirs.”

“My mistake in my relationships has been to feel that I can do it all on my own: 'I don't need a man.' That is definitely a mistake. Women generally want to feel loved and appreciated. It's something that I am working on every day, trust me! It's a challenge for me to do that.”

“I live by the 80/20 rule: I'm 80 percent healthy, and then 20 percent indulgent.”

“I grew up sitting beside my grandmother playing the piano and singing.”

“What I like about modelling is that it has given me that opportunity to travel and experience different cultures, work with creative people, and now it's given me a voice, and with that voice hopefully I can do good things with it.”

“Some sunshine is good for the soul, but I always make sure I wear a big hat.”

“I'm a pretty driven person, and I've accepted that about myself. For a long time, I was like, 'I'm a very laid-back person, I grew up in the country,' but I'm also very driven, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am right now.”

“Maybe I am too traditional, but men feel important when you ask for their help instead of thinking you can do it all on your own.”

“For me it's all about keeping things simple and feeling comfortable in what I am wearing. I prefer investing in classic well-tailored pieces.”

“I'm quite tactile, so I like fabrics that feel good. I try to avoid fabrics that crease - especially with my son. When you have a child, that's important. A great pair of a jeans, a t-shirt and some loafers, that's what I always wear.”

“To wake up to the sound of my son saying 'Mama, mama!' It's the best sound ever.”

“I'm doing my best to raise my son and give him a nurturing, loving, and caring environment so he can grow up and be the best version of himself.”
