I think that there are a lot of male writers and directors in Hollywood, and a lot of the female characters you do see are really one-dimensional, but I think that's changing more and more as there are more women taking control in Hollywood.
— Emily Ratajkowski
Pop music is always great for keeping the energy up, but it can get really old, especially after eight hours, just because there aren't that many great pop songs.
My friends are not in the industry - they're young artists or knitwear designers or whatever.
I really like to have a moment alone at the house, either in the morning or when I come home from work, when I can just zone out at my computer, relax, stare out the window, get into a 'Game of Thrones' episode, go up on my roof, whatever, then go out to dinner.
Lunch is usually a salad or a sandwich. If I'm on set, I'll have catering, but I'm well behaved with that stuff. It's easy to go crazy - they know how to feed you.
I have really big features, so a little makeup goes a long way. I would hate to look like a clown.
I like going in the ocean and leaving my hair for two days with the saltwater beachy look. I think that is part of the reason I would love to cut my hair short. I just wouldn't ever have to think about it.
It's a weird thing. Rick Springfield wrote 'Jessie's Girl,' and he probably gets sick of talking about 'Jessie's Girl.' The thing is, I didn't write 'Blurred Lines.' I didn't direct the music video. I'm really happy for the success, but it is kind of a funny thing to follow me around.
When people are like, 'College! Oh my God! Ultimate freedom!' I didn't feel that way. My roommates were loving hitting the town, but I wasn't as psyched about going to the frats.
I suck at surfing. I can't pull myself up.
I don't know that it needs to be a transition from modeling to acting. I think that they can both exist at the same time.
We're animals. A body is a body.
There's a reason ISIS exists, which is because we've invaded countries, and they hate the Western world. I'm not forgiving them; I'm just saying there's a reason.
There's nothing wrong with being comfortable in your own skin. If anything, it can be really beautiful.
For me, I want a president who is more than a symbol, someone who has ideas that I align with.
I really like beef jerky. If we go to a gas station, I have to buy beef jerky.
It sounds really cliched, but just be true to who you are.
I'm not about anything special - I don't use a trainer or anything like that. And really just eating healthy, eating balanced, knowing what is good and, when you push it too far, easing up and getting back on track.
For me it's always about trying to consistently maintain a fit and body-conscious eating schedule so three days before I'm not like, 'Oh my God - I have a bathing suit shoot I have to do.'
The main criticism that I get is, 'Aren't you just conforming to a patriarchal standard of beauty?' Well, this is just the body I was given. I didn't do anything to it - it's just my body. But even if I had altered it, that would be fine, too.
I never eat at home. Dinner is my time to be social and catch up with people.
I actually don't wear fragrance. I always feel like I smell cheap. I guess I just haven't found one that's not overpowering or too sweet. Even when I try one of the super masculine scents, I just think, 'I don't want to smell like a man.' Besides, I like my own scent.
I have the same skin-care routine morning and night, although I'm not one of those people who always uses the same products. My skin changes with the weather.
Honestly, I am not a huge beauty girl, so I'm pretty low-maintenance, California.
I've always been full-figured in a not-boyish way.
I think that the stigmas against model-actresses - and even just, like, entertainer, celebrity chef, and musician - those kinds of walls have been broken down, and you can do multiple things. So while I can, I don't see why I would stop.
My high school didn't have a football team; we just had like a surf team, because I grew up in Encinitas, California, which is the ultimate place where everyone skated or surfed, so it was a very different culture. It was, like, cool to be the art kid.
I did go to UCLA for art, but the other option was going to Sarah Lawrence and doing creative writing all the way. So that is part of the reason I love to read so much.
When I was eleven years old, I basically looked the same as I do now.
There is winter in L.A., there is rain in L.A. But there is no rain on 'Entourage.'
The female body is a beautiful thing, and it should be embraced and celebrated.
I'm really sick of the 'one percent' that is taking all the money from this country, draining the middle class, making it nonexistent.
When I spend a lot of time in New York, or somewhere when I don't have a car, I miss that mobility and freedom that you have when you have a car. You don't have to rely on anyone else.
I didn't necessarily intend it for myself, but it just happens with Instagram and Twitter; people come up to me and call me Emrata; they don't call me Emily. That's my brand, my identity.
I basically stay in jewelry all the time. I have the same couple of necklaces, earrings, and rings, and they usually don't come off my body.
I grew up in San Diego, California, and I spent a lot of time in the summer basically living in a bathing suit, you know, get in the car and drive straight to the beach and spend the entire day in that thing, so I always approached bathing suits thinking that they are very much like outfits.
There are some people who fit into categories very well. But then there are a lot who don't.
I sleep the best in my own bed, which is too bad because I'm not sleeping in my bed enough.
If I have a meeting or need to look more done up, the thing I can always do is a cat eye.
I really love Celine. Obviously. Alexander Wang. Givenchy. Those are probably my main favorites. Dolce & Gabbana, too.
I really like to hike. L.A. is a great place for that. And doing yoga a couple of times a week is a really big part of my regimen.
Hollywood is a boys' club, and that's something I thought was a stereotype - and it's not. That really shocked me. Still shocks me. Everyone's helping their buddies out and pressing their buddies and playing tennis with their buddies and making movies with their buddies, and that grosses me out.
I met Patti Smith, which is not Hollywood, but that really blew my mind. I love her. We were at a very small party, too, on a boat, and I totally fanned out. I told her that I loved her, and wasn't cool at all.
I would really like to take on something that really surprises people and shows that I want to be taken seriously as an actress. Also, creatively speaking, that sounds really fun.
I don't believe in proving myself, ever. I'm in the school of thought where if someone is a curious person, they can find whatever they want.
I spent most of my time with adults because although my parents were older when they had me, they're really like teenagers. I sort of became the third musketeer.
I didn't want to act in high school, because I was sick of auditioning for Nickelodeon, Disney mean girls, or the cheerleader.
We're able to choose our candidate not based on gender or sex or anything else other than their ideas.
I remember the first time I pulled out of my driveway in my grandparents' Nissan Ultimate or Centra. I just remember getting in a car that smells like my grandparents, with both my parents standing on the lawn, so petrified. That was my car up until I was 18.
Learning how to drive was a scary thing.
