Quotes from Stella Maxwell

I'm kind of obsessed with Instagram. I like the fact that you can really express yourself. Obviously, there are limits, but you can always show a lot of your personality and day to day things that no one would ever know.

I have a trainer, so i just go see him whenever I can.

My first beauty moment was when I was probably four years old. My sister and I snuck into my mom's room and got into her makeup. We put on blush and lipstick and eyeshadow. I will always remember that day.

Day to day, I like to be comfortable. I definitely wear too many jeans; I have so many at home. But I like the whole dress-up thing, too. It's nice to do a little bit of both.

I love yoga. I'll film a class with my teacher, bring my mat with me, and just do it anywhere.

It's a dream of mine to be a yoga teacher one day.

I've been doing a lot of yoga because it really centres me - mentally as well as physically. It's just an hour of my day that's always positive, and I always come out in a better mood.

I had a friend that was really passionate about yoga, and she let me come with her to a couple of her classes - I just got really into it. The more you practise, the better you get. It's an hour when I'm not thinking about anything except breathing.

Yoga is a great thing to do because you can just practice it by yourself in your hotel.

I like to do varied exercises, even just going for a hike with my friends or taking my dog for a walk, then going to see my trainer or going to yoga.

I think looking after your mental and physical health is key to confidence, because they go hand in hand. Meditation, doing some yoga, working out always makes me feel more confident in my own skin.

Your outlook is pretty happy and positive after yoga. It's a good way to open up and center.

Change your routine regularly because your body gets used it, and it won't benefit you after a while. Mix it up - legs, arms and butt - so you work your total body and stay balanced.

Belgium is half French-speaking and half Flemish, and I was born on the French side. So we spoke it a lot - like, in kindergarten, it was almost all French. But then I moved to New Zealand when I was 10, where we obviously spoke English all the time, so I lost the French a little bit.

Exercise is great for your mental health!

I'm really into oat milk.

I was actually in New Zealand studying, and I just got discovered. I was with my friend shopping, and this woman came up to me and was like, 'Would you like to come in? I own an agency.'

I was actually born in Belgium and lived there until I was 11, then moved to Australia for a year, then moved to New Zealand, so I only lived there from when I was 12 to 18.

Where would we be without our friends? Honestly, every friend is so unique and special. I have my friends back in New Zealand; I have my friends in New York and California. Then you have your friends who are your family. Barbara Palvin falls into that category. I have a lot of love for all my friends.

I'm really lucky because I can sleep on planes. I wear an eye mask, I have a book, and I sit down and pass out pretty easily. I know that not everyone can. I think I'm good at it because I travel so much, and for me, being on planes is like a sacred time. It's the only time to zone out and meditate.

All my family look Irish. They act Irish. My sister even has red hair... it's crazy. I'm the one that doesn't seem Irish. None of the kids in my family, my siblings, speak with an Irish accent... we've never lived there full-time; we weren't born there. We just go there once or twice a year. It's weird. Our parents sound Irish, but we don't.

Modelling, for me, I find that it's like acting.

The atmosphere of a shoot is so intimate, while a show is more of a celebration of that designer and their work and the models coming together to walk in the clothing and present the frocks in their unique way.

I just try to eat a little bit of everything - moderation is key with diet.
