Candice Swanepoel

I was a ballet dancer growing up and that's what I was convinced I would be. ”

Women are complicated. We all know that. ”

It's been amazing how this crazy career has been created. I feel that it's been given to me. I wouldn't be anywhere without Victoria's Secret. ”

I have always been very comfortable in little clothing; its part of my job. ”

Being confident in your own skin is very sexy. I think when you have fun and are yourself that is sexy too. ”

At school, I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. ”

Most women find a man with good manners sexy. ”

At school I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me. I would say to my mum, 'The girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV.' ”

I get skinnier if I'm very busy. ”

I was very skinny, braces; so I never thought I would be a model. ”
