With acting, it wouldn't be about money: it would be about taking my life experiences and using them to create art. ”

I was home-schooled my entire life and never been in a classroom. ”

I started Instagramming, like, my model life, per se, when I was 14. I got into it as, like, this is an opportunity to be able to show yourself not just as a pretty face but as a personality, which I think models have never been able to have until now. ”

I've, like, lived in a bikini my entire life, so modeling bikinis was, I don't know. It was just so natural to me. ”

I would look at my profile and be like, 'Look at this girl! She has, like, the most perfect life!' and I would feel so guilty for not feeling blessed all the time. ”

I'm very ambitious when it comes to business. ”

It's not healthy to ever put someone first before yourself. ”

I'm really healthy, and that's one of the things I pride myself on. ”

I always associate blonde with sunshine and puppies and happiness, but I don't think sexiness. ”

I have this thing called my 'Post It People': they're my closest family members. Those are the ones who count. The ones who I put their word as something special to me. So if they're all like, 'No you're good, we love you, we know who you are as a person,' then I don't take anything else personally, 'cause those are the ones who matter - my family. ”
