I'm not white-picket-fence perfect.
— Heidi Klum
I'm a lioness. I have four cubs. I'm a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them.
I don't think I could not have been with an artist of some kind, someone creative.
I wanted to be a fashion designer.
I'm not quite that difficult, even though maybe I'm a little bit bossy. But you know, in order to get things done, you do have to be a little bit bossy sometimes or tell people what you really want. Otherwise, things just don't get done, do they?
I certainly like working in Germany.
I'm bad at letting go of things.
I have a whole army of pajamas.
If you have issues with family, friends, and people at work, try and solve these issues head on so you can move on and concentrate on having the life you want.
I always think, look at how people were before they were pregnant. If you were a toned, healthy, energetic person, most likely you will be like that again.
Sure, climbing Mount Everest would be cool, but that's something I would now like to do as a family. Big experiences like that I don't want to have on my own anymore. I want to share them.
I sing a lot, even with my voice.
When I came out of school I didn't even think that modeling was a job.
I like basketball, and I've been to three games, which is so much more fun than seeing it on TV, I think.
A woman is a woman!
But all the money in the world cannot make you happy either, so there has to be a balance.
I love painting.
I think you always need to try your best, but at the same time you can only do what you can do, and you don't need to beat yourself up about it.
I don't know why we work, my husband and I. We just do. We are black and white - yin and yang.
I'm quite good at multitasking, but I have to do things immediately.
If you are talented, you can really do anything. And if your heart is at the right place and you have the passion for it, you can go for it and do it.
Every couple goes through things.
As a model you need to be able to do the craziest things.
I'm bad at baking.
I am generally a very happy and easygoing person.
I think it's important to get your surroundings as well as yourself into a positive state - meaning surround yourself with positive people, not the kind who are negative and jealous of everything you do.
I always wanted to be a mom.
No Botox. I don't think I will go there. I don't want to say never, because who knows? Maybe in 10 years I will.
With a family of six, there is always something to make, create and do together.
I don't have the hard everyday life that so many working mothers face.
So to get back to being intimidated, yes, you get intimidated when you're on the runway with Naomi Campbell, who is the best runway model in the world.
Well, I was already so happy being chosen to do the issue itself, that when I got on the cover, it was even more of a surprise and even more amazing to me.
I danced for 15 years of my life. Which was my love and my passion.
So everyone has that problem, models have that problem, too.
For the longest time, you just sound like a broken record, but you have to be consistent when teaching kids.
I always did feel beautiful when I was pregnant, but I do feel more me when I'm my normal size.
I have a normal life and I have this glamorous life, but to me it's two different things.
I'm quite scared of flying, and especially helicopters, I don't like them at all.
All German women are beautiful.
It's not difficult for me to stay healthy. I like healthy food.
When I was younger, I had a perm, and it was really big. My mom was a hairdresser, so even my dad had a perm! I looked like a poodle, but it was cool at the time.
I need my products to work and be fast! I don't love having 50 different things in my bathroom, like a different cream for every inch of my face. That's so not me.
I come from a place where we're not that shy about our bodies.
It's important for children to see what's out there and learn that it's fun to go.
Children are very addicting. Once they start growing up, you miss when they were little.
I'm someone, the same as my girlfriends, when they say what do you think about this, I don't always say they look fabulous. I say what I think.
I have the best husband in the world. He's very involved.
Because I'm on the runway with some of the best models in the industry.
I never went to a modeling school, and I don't suggest to anybody that they go to a modeling school... In fashion, one day you're in, the next you're out.
Well, I was going to school in Germany. And in my free time I was dancing.
