I've always been the kind of girl that takes every day as it comes.

I'm that type of person that loves change.

I usually don't usually go for fluffy, bohemian-chic pieces.

I'll probably always have some black in my accessories, but it's also important to have a pop of color.

French designers are classic, chic, and traditional.

People who rooted for me and were impactful in my career knew everything about me. They knew my goals, my likes, my dislikes, what I wanted out of my career.

Nowadays, we have to break the molds to what it means to be a model in 2016.

Usually, a model gets two to three seasons, or a year and a half, and that's it - you're done. For me, it will be 10 years.

In the beginning, the clients would say, 'This is too much,' but over time, the ones I liked kept working with me. They'd say, 'It's not too much. Coco can still be Coco. She still gives 100 percent when she's on a photo shoot.'

I'm kind of getting over the whole Manhattan life. I'm from Vancouver, and that means mountains and a lot of space.

I'm not fussy.

If you are a new, upcoming designer, you've got to think of new, cool ways to make the industry look at you. Don't just get stuck in a rut, show your clothes, and be like, 'You should like this.'

I hate when people say, 'Well, this is unfair for the underdog.' Well, the underdog should try harder.

We get all excited about collaborations. You get excited to hear that Rihanna has something, because Rihanna is a singer, and she has amazing fashion. You want to see what she would create. I don't get upset and think, 'Someone else is going to do better than me.' You're like, 'Oh, good for her.'

I will definitely hook up my daughter if she decides to be a model.

My faith is everything.

When I was asked to be a part of 'The Face,' I was like, 'This is exactly what I do without cameras.' I didn't find it any different than what I usually do for young girls - giving runway tips or just explaining how the whole industry works - but now you have, like, 19 cameras on you, documenting you while you scratch your nose.

When someone tells me that I'm not real, I say to them, 'Well, what about me isn't real?' I have not changed my figure. This is who I am.

You always wonder when you get pregnant what projects and opportunities will come in or come knocking.

I think being true to yourself is ultimately the best way of living.

Oftentimes, my career as a model is based around glamour or creating a fantasy world. That in itself is not a bad thing, as I think art and inspiration has its place in society.

For me, anytime I see a mother truly loving her child, famous or not, it brings a smile to my face. I think most people would agree.

I think balancing work and family takes constant adjustment. Its not something you can say you've accomplished and move on.

Jean Paul Gaultier is not only immensely talented but also a genuinely sweet and kind person.

My wedding dress is a piece of art that I'll treasure forever. It was designed and created by Zac Posen. I gave him only the tiniest bit of direction when he started, and the end product was more beautiful than anything I could have imagined.

I love Africa, especially Botswana. I could see myself retiring to a little tree house there one day.

Everyone always remembers my dancing.

Don't get me wrong: 'America's Next Top Model' is fantastic. They've done 20 seasons, so they've obviously done something right. But I think what ensures that the winner of 'The Face' will become a working model is the prize - a year-long contract with a cosmetics company is huge.

I find it funny to look at people who are people-watching, and, don't get me wrong, I like to people-watch, too. But it's an interesting thing when people on the street just stop and ask you, 'Are you Coco? Can I take a photo of you?'

It's especially important to make sure all clients are happy. You don't want to get stuck into a corner and for people to think you now only have one look.

I would have loved to meet David Bowie.

My mom's half-Irish, and my dad's half-Irish. We don't know much about my mom's side, but my dad's mom came from Belfast and married my grandfather, who was from Wales.

I was always excited by the idea of having my own company, but models are rarely serious when they venture off into something else, be it acting, singing, or starting their own business.

When you wear something different, you have to be confident that not everyone may get it at first.

When I first started modeling, I had the chance to walk the runway with Naomi passing by me, but I didn't know anything about supermodels. But when I saw her backstage, she complimented me on my walk, and I thought she was so nice - everyone was freaking out that I didn't know who she was.

Whatever you do, never do the duck face - that's the worst look for any girl out there. Some girls think that pushing out their lips looks fabulous, but it doesn't.

So many girls second-think their pose or what they're doing. And, in turn, the photos will come out really unnatural. I say to really give the camera a performance - that, and make sure you're comfortable with how you look, and give it a good smile and a filter.

Moms or soon-to-be-moms put a lot of pressure on themselves.

A lot of people might think the job of a model isn't necessary anymore, but just like an actor, singer - how they make you feel a certain way - how watching a dancer gives you emotion, models can do the exact same thing to many different people.

You can definitely notice a girl who has confidence versus one who's thinking, 'How are they judging me?'

As a model, we come in the room, and we are casted just on our looks. I think I'm funny; I think I'm clever. But in the end, they're picking me for my cheekbones or if I'm tall enough.

One of my favorite poses was when working with Steven Meisel. It was one of my first photo shoots with him, and we were trying to get the cover of Italian 'Vogue.' Then, I literally took my Balenciaga hat, pulled it down, and gave a rolling-eye, 'ugh' face, crossed legs on the floor. And lo and behold, that was the cover of Italian 'Vogue.'

It's hard sometimes because people don't take a model seriously in any sense. Unless she's taking a photo, that's as good as she is.

I hate when people say models don't have personalities; what does that even mean? Everyone has a personality.

I don't think it's fair for people to put fellow beings down just because they're only known for their looks.

Don't have just anyone run your social media. I think it's insane when brands or celebrities relegate their social media to an intern or someone who does not know them well.

Be current. Know and comment on current trends and news. Don't be the last one entering a conversation.

Personally, even though I have a great PR team, no one except my husband and I touch any of my 10 social media accounts. It's a lot of work, but I know that my brand, my image, and my voice are authentic to me.

Braveness, for me, is running into my basement with no socks on. There are huge spiders down there!
