I remember really loving the CoverGirl ads when I was younger - there was something very cool about how they always put the girls in white. It looked so clean.

I was basically a surfer girl from California. I never looked like a model.

I came across an older picture of me that someone had posted on Facebook, and I totally remember squirming and feeling very fat while I was shooting it.

I remember my first 'Sports Illustrated' shoot was with the photographer Walter Iooss, and Julie Campbell was the editor, and we were at the president of Mexico's private house in Cancun - this was before anything else that's now in Cancun even existed. And they told me to get a tan, so I spent all morning in the sun, and I was burnt.

In the beginning of my career, I read an article about the reason that men always look five years younger than women is because they shave.

I don't really seek out vegetarian spots... but mainly, I know how to work a menu no matter where I am.
