Australian people are dope. They're so fun. They want to just have a good time, and they have a great sense of humour.

I love doing my own make-up.

My favourite beauty look is definitely '70s beauty - sun kissed skin, wavy hair and defined eyes.

I work out twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed. I'll start with half an hour of running and then some yoga to stretch everything out so everything is warm.

It's people's own prerogative to be able to look at something and know the difference between 'this is what someone looks like with make-up on' and 'this is what they look like in real life.'

The most important thing for staying in shape is having fun with your workouts.

I make sure the foods I eat will benefit the appearance of my hair, skin and nails.

I was such a tomboy - goofy and, in my eyes, nerdy - and I never thought I would end up in modeling. I mean, you see pictures of these girls in magazines who have this incredible talent, and no one ever really thinks you can make it to that level. At least I didn't!

I modeled for 4 years before I felt like I had my big break.

I don't think people should confuse fantasy and reality because no one is perfect - we all know that.

People should embrace themselves.

I always stay active, even if I'm on vacation.

I think there's something special and timeless about girls getting ready together.

I think that, like any art, fashion is about expression. It allows you to express yourself and your identity through what you choose to wear.

Perfection is really boring!

Rome is one of my favourite cities in the world.

As a model, you're such a gypsy, so that 'home' element is kind of taken from you.

I love going on dates and talking.

I'm a homebody, but I make people come to me, like, 'Everyone just come over, and we can have fun at my house.' I love to entertain.

I can shoot a basket pretty well.

I never thought I was cute, ever.

It's really not important what my personal life is.

I can't even sleep in. My body won't let me.

My favorite memory from school was going to football games with my friends. We always had so much spirit and dressed up to go to the games, even though our team was pretty bad.

I've met some of my best friends in the world working for Victoria's Secret.

You can put in a curl or put on a lip color or mascara, but the important thing is that the health of your skin and hair is shining through.

I love being in Chicago.

The short amount of time I'm out on the runway is like going on a rollercoaster. It's such a happy, exciting feeling. I'm more like a racehorse ready to go - I just want to get out there.

I always love a side of guacamole with everything.

I definitely only want to do charity work that I'm hands-on involved in. I don't want to get a dress on and go to a stupid event.

I shopped a lot on 1stdibs.com when I first started modelling. Just whenever, I've always been on and bought all my furniture on 1stdibs.com.

My plan growing up was to leave home and try not to panic. I always knew that to strive to be self-sufficient was an important ambition.

I'm utterly androgynous, and I truly love it. It's been part of my identity for so long. I've never been that pretty girl, and I wouldn't want to be.

It makes me cross when I hear people say, 'It's so last season.' I always say, 'It's vintage.'

A girl must have an indefinable magic, real character, a strong sense of self. Her role is to respond to the brief of a photographer or communicate the vision of a designer - while making whatever she does look utterly effortless and whatever she wears utterly seamless.

Someone once referred to modeling as being like winning the lottery gene pool. It's such an odd way to put things, but what is different about modelling is that the industry often picks you.

I'm like a tourist when I'm in London.

Water - I drink gallons of it! You can use the most luxurious skincare products in the world, but they won't work as well if you do not hydrate from inside.

As a child I wanted to be a ballerina, ice-cream van owner, wife of George Michael, a nun, and a music conductor.

I can play the flute. Music was my favourite A-level, and I used to love composing my and stylising my voice to sound like 90's singing sensation Tori Amos.

I knew I'd made it when my face appeared on a stamp.

In my work, I'm called to a job at the drop of a hat, so I like a sense of order to my holidays, and holding a map makes me happy.

When I first began modeling, I was very conventional looking. I had hair down to my waist in a side parting - almost church-like. But beneath the sheath of hair lay this Amazonian, strong-looking frame.

Clothes are like a suit of armour when you're young. I was quite a shy teen, so I wanted to make aggressive statements with the way I looked. I'd say my goth/indie stage was the worst: there was a lot of experimentation involving pink food dye in my fringe.

Winter is my favourite season.

Caution is the key to safe cycling. I'm aware that cars are bigger than me, but I feel quite safe. I'm in control, liberated and free, when I'm on my bike.

I love the physicality of my job and how my mind and body are most happy when I'm expressing and moving. My face was always secondary to body alignment and the dynamism of making a moment come alive.

My story wasn't one of those cliched stories of being an ugly duckling, I had a pretty good time at school. But then I think being six foot by the age of 15 meant that I couldn't help but be noticed, and that was when my physical being felt quite painful - I could not any longer walk into a room without being noticed.

I've been on both sides: the victim and the villain. I was the victimised model, and everything from my weight to my fertility was held up for discussion. And then I was the person that could garner some kind of positive outcome, by taking on the role of vice chairman of the British Fashion Council and becoming an activist of body image.

I understood early on that I was not the best-looking girl in the room. But I knew my advantage was a hard work ethic and I was ambitious: I knew I could be a great model.
