In ten years of modeling, I've trained myself to relax and be able to use my upper body.

My besties do Victoria's Secret. I just don't do it.

When I started, I knew nothing about fashion. I remember, my first day going to my agency, I was wearing these huge bell-bottoms - they were patchwork corduroy and denim, which, at the time, I thought were amazing. My agent told me, 'You have a casting with Prada - you have to burn those jeans.'

Designers from Milan think that 'more is more,' like Cavalli and Dolce & Gabbana.

Having worked with many of the world's top modeling agencies for the last decade, I've seen what works and doesn't work in managing a model's career.

When I started my first blog years ago, I just wanted to share my perspective. For a long time, models had been these mute pretty faces - and I wanted to have a voice.

I think, as long as you're secure with yourself and happy with yourself, it really doesn't matter what the world around you thinks.

Something I always look for in an outfit is to have a standout piece.

Fashion can be a very fickle lady, especially when it comes to models - fashion likes to turn on its own.

Connecting with fans is very important to me and useful, too! It's almost as if I have my own focus group. If I put up one picture that gets 1,000 likes and one that gets 15,000 likes, it gives me a big clue as to what people like to see.

I've always thought of modeling as a performance, so I don't mind kind of pretending. I kind of pretend in a lot of my poses that I am a ballerina or a hip-hop dancer or a grunge performer.

I think, in general, models tend to do their favorite faces or their comfortable face, but your facial expression is just so important. You don't want to have an editorial of 20 photos where it's just you giving a 'Zoolander' face.

We have to come into this industry so young, and you have to learn to take it as it is. I was scouted at 14, started modelling at 15, and lived in New York at 16.

As a high-fashion model, I have long had a policy of no nudity or partial nudity in my photo shoots.

Everybody knows that, in general, a basketball player needs to be tall and a fashion model needs to be skinny, but how skinny is too skinny?

Girls are told they're not skinny enough, or they hear, 'She's old. She's boring. We've had her. She's not tiny anymore.' A lot of people don't take into account the vulnerability of these young girls.

I won't work with Terry Richardson again.

At the beginning of my career, I was nervous to talk. I was just a very young girl. You don't want to upset anyone or frustrate anyone - you just want to work.

Having good style really just means having a decisive eye and being able to put things together in an aesthetically pleasing manner. It's not a matter of spending a lot of money and throwing it all together.

I think it's important to wear clothing that means something to you, and so I always try to make sure I'm wearing at least one item that has a personal meaning to me.

For a small population, Canada has always had a very strong and vibrant style.

I think there can no longer be such a thing as hitting a wall on a photo shoot. If I ever hear a photographer say to me, 'OK, what else?' I should retire, because that should never happen now having experienced just how much the body is capable of doing.

I always think that some of those moms who are rocking cool fashion looks while walking their little babies in a stroller is just the bomb. You don't have to, all of a sudden, have to transition into 'mom' outfits from the '90s just because you became a mom.

I think it's fun to dress up, although sometimes you do get a little tired of it, but I definitely try to have a different look every day.

To be honest, the thing is I don't really like clothes. I mean, it is cool, but I like tech. I am a tech girl. A secret nerd - there, I said it.

I don't get to keep the dresses I wear. It is not fair.

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.
