You have to grow thick skin and that only comes with time and learning.
— Karlie Kloss
By the end of Fashion Week my apartment is covered with makeup and clothes and shoes. Everything you can think of.
My favourite place to eat is my grandma's kitchen. She makes a mean crab cake.
I think that taking ballet is one of the best things a girl can do. Period.
My school in St. Louis is great. They basically created a program where I can do online classes and independent studies when I'm traveling. But then I still get to go home and take classes in a normal school environment.
What I enjoy most is that every day I get to play a new character.
I loved everything about Spain - the people, the language, and the food!
Today, models are able to share industry news, trends, and communicate with fans through Twitter, Instagram and blogs. So in a way, our position as models is way more personable and relatable.
Growing up in a house of five girls, I couldn't help but glance at a fashion magazine or two.
I think to have the skill set and the ability to physically help others in matters of life and death must be incredibly empowering.
I am very lucky to be surrounded and guided by an incredible support team comprised of my family and agents.
If you believe in yourself and feel confident in yourself, you can do anything. I really believe that.
Christy Turlington is my idol. She really is. She's a gorgeous woman inside and out. I admire her work in the charity field. She's just been able to balance it all - and gracefully, as well.
I grew six inches in a year.
I'm not graceful.
You are physically up for scrutiny by everyone and you hear everyone's opinion.
I love being a part of something so many people can relate to and enjoy.
I have a necklace with a golden key, given to me by my sisters, which I always wear.
I love kids, so two things that I have thought about are being a pediatrician or a kindergarten teacher.
You learn to control every aspect of your muscles, your face, your toes, your fingernails. And that is how you tell a story, through movement.
Holy cow, in the course of one week I feel like I've lived about a year!
I'm learning Spanish - I got Rosetta Stone for Christmas.
MTV in general is involved with so many artists - musicians, actors, people in the fashion industry, and art world.
Whether running, biking, swimming, or dancing, I just like to always be on the move.
I wish I could fly. Or speak fluent Chinese. Both I think are equally impossible.
I work strategically with my management team to make all decisions.
I have a notebook that is filled to the brim with my dreams and ideas and goals and aspirations.
My entire high school career - my entire school career - I've been like three feet taller than everyone in my grade.
Ballet really taught me so much about the power of movement.
Doors opened for me and I ran for it.
I still get butterflies when I'm doing a runway show. The music starts, you're wearing these gorgeous clothes and your nervous about your high heels, if your shoes are going to break, if your going to slip or do something wrong.
Whenever I have even a spare second, I'm in the kitchen whipping up a batch of cookies. I make a mean batch of chocolate chippers.
My dreams came true while wearing the opening look from the spring/summer 2010 Dior ready-to-wear collection. I will never forget how special I felt opening John Galliano's show, like I was living a dream.
It's nice to just be a kid and hang out with your friends at lunch.
I'm somewhat in my own cloud.
I would love to rent a little cottage or cabin in Colorado and learn to ski or snowboard. And on the warmer side, I also want to rent a house in Hawaii and learn to surf!
I am very blessed.
Every single day I'm shocked.
I did every sport under the sun while growing up.
Because I'm so tall, clothes look different on me than they do on others.
There's no time for boys in my life right now.
I have gotten to travel the world and experience all these incredible things thanks to my career.
I just keep thinking how lucky I am that I haven't had to sacrifice anything.
I'm one of those tall, lanky, awkward kids.
