I've always been kind of uncomfortable just on the beach in a swimsuit. I'm never my most confident in a bikini on the beach, especially when you know people are looking at you, and they expect one thing because of what they see in the magazines, and you might not look that way. It's always been a scary thing for me.

My big pet peeve with people posting food - and I love it when people post food - but my number one thing is when you're posting at a restaurant, and it's dark, like a date night, food never looks good. Flash looks horrible, no flash looks horrible. It's important to only do food photos during daylight - and it's all about color with Instagram.
There's a green room at the Oscars. It's really small, very warm, and it's really fun because you get to see everyone just lounging on couches. It's right before you go out to present, so it's everyone in there. And then they have this crudite section, and cheeses and crackers.
I think I'll probably be pregnant all through my 30s. I've always pictured everyone around the table for the holidays and together once a week. It'll be heartbreaking if it doesn't end up happening, but hopefully it will. We've got some embryos on hold.
I've always enjoyed things a little more chaotic than most people would prefer. I feel that I run well in chaos.
I'll come in from a long flight and go straight to the grocery store. I love cooking for my man.
St. Tropez has a face glow that is amazing - you can put it on without makeup, and your skin just glows.
I have to have breakfast, and breakfast has to be eggs!
I love dress shopping, and I love talking about the wedding food. That's what makes me happy. If you tell me to do a guest list, I cry. I hate it.
I am paid a good amount of money to not blink for 12 hours. It's fun, but I don't take it very seriously.
If I'm going to eat fast food, I'm going to McDonald's. I don't need to pretend.
When I wake up, I'm like, 'I gotta go to Whole Foods.' I'm constantly reading cookbooks; I bring hardcover cookbooks with me on the plane and tag pages. I just have this crazy food obsession.
I always get so excited when I get to go to my friends at corporate offices. I am always, like, looking around. I think that's really exciting to be a part of an actual corporate office.
Women, I love. It's amazing to me, because I am a swimsuit model; I'm half-naked. I just love the fact that women love me, and it makes me love them so much back.
My beauty tricks revolve around eyes. For the early morning shoots, I pop eye pads in the freezer the night before, and when I take them out in the morning they are already cold and active and are great under my eyes. I keep my eye pads right next to my red velvet Ben & Jerry's in the freezer.
Bachelor parties are for the married guys.
My spray-tan woman is amazing. She comes to my house at 10 o'clock the night before a shoot. The results are so brown, flawless, and natural. It's just weird because my natural skin color is very white, almost whitish yellow.
Men and Pilates - it's like the hardest thing on the planet to them! They're not used to getting those muscles. Core and butt and stuff - they're so confused.
I know when I was little, having my Thai mom, even I was weird about fish sauce and fish heads and clams. I kind of sided with my dad because he was a big American guy. So, we were very meat and potatoes, but I really wish I had grown up appreciating my mom's taste a bit more.
I'm only four weeks out from birth, so I still have a couple more weeks before I can work out - which is fine with me. I love the feeling of working out, but I've never been a gym rat, ever, so now, it's all about taking in what I can if it's good for the baby, because it all translates to her in a way.
I always thought the name of my first book would be 'The Insecure Chef,' because when I started cooking, I was so nervous.
Marriage was never my goal, because I've never been very traditional.
Not only am I having a girl, but I picked the girl from her little embryo.
When we do 'Sports Illustrated,' it starts the night before. You do a St. Tropez tan that night, then baby oil gel, then body color.
I drink a ton of water. And I never go to bed too full.
I go out of my way to try not to be too annoying... my biggest goal in life is to not be annoying about being a bride.
I feel like part of me will die when John Goodman dies.
I'm much nicer in person than on Twitter.
I really do love social media. I've always been crazy about - even like, remember AOL chat rooms? I always loved message boards, and I was always interacting on the computer.
I think, like, Twitter is somewhat difficult sometimes, and it can be kind of negative.
Men are very tough, very critical of me. I think they expect you to basically just be a picture. They don't want to hear you speak.
I can cook really complicated recipes, but it takes a real talent to do the perfect egg.
I think of Kate Moss whenever I think of someone who did the bridesmaid thing right. They were all in different dresses, and I love neutrals. But it's so hard to pull that together. You almost need a stylist for it.
I hate the word 'moist.'
If you put pesto in a squeeze bottle or just at the end of a spoon and drizzle it, it looks so much better. It's the little things. Plating is actually easy once you learn the little tips.
I'm weird about fruity desserts like lemony, acidic, zesty... I don't like lemon things and orange things, really.
Everyone thinks that I have an Instagram account for my dog, but I did not make that. It's a fan!
I work out every day. I still feel fit and energetic. In a way, I'm healthier now that I'm pregnant.
If you're going to choose to do something like the Paleo Diet, then you choose not to enjoy your nights out.
I regret things all the time. I've never regretted not saying something. I've only regretted saying something.
My shoots are very much about skin, so I'm an exfoliating and moisturizing nut. I fly so much, so I take my makeup off as soon as I get on the airplane. I look at my watch every half hour and moisturize.
I would love four children because I have a very small family, so I want those big Thanksgiving dinners.
Just being a model, you're not supposed to speak ever, really.
I have a little half-Asian butt, and the more I work out, the more I try to get it bigger, it's just going to get flatter and harder.
It's so funny because my mom is Thai and my dad is this big American guy - and our food tastes were so similar growing up. He was meat and potatoes, I was meat and potatoes.
Some people, I think, think that because I don't take it as seriously as a lot of the girls do, that I frown upon modeling or think it's stupid. I don't at all. This is my life. I would be nothing without this. But I really don't take it seriously.
That's one thing I get neurotic about: I need my soup to be crazy hot.
I always get to eat what I want because if I don't, I go insane.
Dieting is becoming easier and easier for me because I'm finding out things that I love.
I'm very neurotic about shaving. I shave first thing in the morning before a shoot, and if I have dinner that night, I have to shave again.
