Brooklyn Decker

I like an English sense of humor: dry, dirty, a little bit off. That's kind of my taste. ”

I don't see myself doing catalog shoots in Madrid anymore like I was doing two years ago. I hope that the acting side of things grows. ”

I have a really difficult time watching myself on film. I literally cower in my seat and cover my face. ”

The 'Sports Illustrated' cover was the last thing I shot. That week, I told my agent, 'You know what, I really... I don't want to be a model anymore. I really want to do movies.' And I think he wanted to wring my neck at the moment. ”

I'm named after a horse. My mom's best friend had a horse named Brooke, so my dad suggested 'Brooklyn' as a more formal version, and it just stuck - and now I live in Brooklyn part-time, so go figure. ”

My parents had us very young. We lived in a modest house. We built forts, we hiked, we went camping and they wanted us to be independent. It's how children grew up in the 1940s and 50s: outside all the time, playing in the dirt, riding your bike around. ”

I think that I'd like to try to be a superwoman and have kids and work, so we'll see if I can actually accomplish that. ”
