I'm quite scared of flying, and especially helicopters, I don't like them at all.

I feel like looking in the mirror when you brush your teeth, yes, I see lines, and then I smile and I see things here and there. But that's just, you know, you - that's your journey, you know?

I'm not quite that difficult, even though maybe I'm a little bit bossy. But you know, in order to get things done, you do have to be a little bit bossy sometimes or tell people what you really want. Otherwise, things just don't get done, do they?

I believe that when you put a smile out there, you get a smile back.

I never went to a modeling school, and I don't suggest to anybody that they go to a modeling school... In fashion, one day you're in, the next you're out.

You shouldn't wait for other people to make special things happen. You have to create your own memories.

In my job, people tell you that all the time: 'This shoot was great. You look amazing.' But you never know what they say when you turn away.

I don't have the hard everyday life that so many working mothers face.

It's not like I'm this glamour diva who hands everything over and I just sit on my throne at home.

I have always been too round to do fashion shows.

I like basketball, and I've been to three games, which is so much more fun than seeing it on TV, I think.

I'm bad at baking.

I know a lot of celebrities who are perfectly happy to put their name to something and then leave it at that because the money is good, but I need to have complete control over how something is going to look if my name is going to be attached to it.

I don't have my name on anything that I don't really do.

I sing a lot, even with my voice.

Fashion is a very particular world, as you know.

For me, my business is my business and my house is my house. I don't want the public in my house.

Well, I was going to school in Germany. And in my free time I was dancing.

I like doing small parts, because I don't feel I'm that practised in acting. It's like making baby steps towards a bigger goal.

Some people are born skinny, and that's just the way it is. You can't point a finger at them and say they're ill or anorexic. It isn't fair to people born that way.

I'm not that patient sometimes. I'm like a rocket - I go a hundred miles per hour.

I was being rejected all the time. Agents would say, 'I don't think you're the type they're looking for.' I was always like, 'You think? I don't want you to think. I want them to think that.' This business is all about someone's opinion, but not the agent or the manager's. How do they know? They're not that person.

A little acting debut in Spin City, with Michael J. Fox, which opened up a whole new door for me.

The main thing is healthy eating, exercise, which I do for special events, like if it's Sports Illustrated, or the swim suit catalogue for Victoria's Secret, or my own calendar that I did for the year 2000.

I actually eat a lot.

So everyone has that problem, models have that problem, too.

I love painting.

I danced for 15 years of my life. Which was my love and my passion.

But all the money in the world cannot make you happy either, so there has to be a balance.

Well, I was already so happy being chosen to do the issue itself, that when I got on the cover, it was even more of a surprise and even more amazing to me.

A woman is a woman!

Because I'm on the runway with some of the best models in the industry.

So to get back to being intimidated, yes, you get intimidated when you're on the runway with Naomi Campbell, who is the best runway model in the world.

I have the best husband in the world. He's very involved.

When I came out of school I didn't even think that modeling was a job.

I'm someone, the same as my girlfriends, when they say what do you think about this, I don't always say they look fabulous. I say what I think.

With a family of six, there is always something to make, create and do together.

Children are very addicting. Once they start growing up, you miss when they were little.

No Botox. I don't think I will go there. I don't want to say never, because who knows? Maybe in 10 years I will.

Sure, climbing Mount Everest would be cool, but that's something I would now like to do as a family. Big experiences like that I don't want to have on my own anymore. I want to share them.

It's important for children to see what's out there and learn that it's fun to go.

I always wanted to be a mom.

I always think, look at how people were before they were pregnant. If you were a toned, healthy, energetic person, most likely you will be like that again.

I come from a place where we're not that shy about our bodies.

If you have issues with family, friends, and people at work, try and solve these issues head on so you can move on and concentrate on having the life you want.

I need my products to work and be fast! I don't love having 50 different things in my bathroom, like a different cream for every inch of my face. That's so not me.

I am generally a very happy and easygoing person.

When I was younger, I had a perm, and it was really big. My mom was a hairdresser, so even my dad had a perm! I looked like a poodle, but it was cool at the time.

I'm bad at letting go of things.

It's not difficult for me to stay healthy. I like healthy food.
