Quotes:
“I always say, ‘Eat clean to stay fit; have a burger to stay sane.’”
“I post pictures that I want to post and say what I want to say. If that’s three times a day or three times per month, then whatever.”
“I’m always tan and blonde and don’t really fit into New York. I’m a California girl, even if I try and cover it up with leather.”
“I’m really lucky to have a lot of friends in fashion. I don’t know if that’s common, but I just get along with a lot of people. My really close friends are Ireland Baldwin, Kendall Jenner, Lily Aldridge and Devon Windsor.”
“My mom was a model, so she’s been really good about giving me tips on how to navigate behind the scenes — like the importance of being nice to everyone on set and remembering people’s names, to how to be a positive part of the photo shoot and stuff like that.”
“As long as they want me modeling, I’ll be here. But I hope to maybe have a cooking show one day or host a talk show when I’m older and have a developed brand. That would be really fun.”
