Quotes from Emily Ratajkowski

I do my own makeup for events and red carpet stuff.

I think always what happens when you ask men questions on the red carpet, it's always based on what projects they're working on, whatever they're about, rather than this, 'Give us little tips for all of us women'... because we're all the same. Questions should just be more individual.

When I was a little girl, I loved theater a lot and I was always playing and making my own worlds.

I always say, 'Do you have a body? Then you're swimsuit ready.' That's all you need to worry about.

I want to establish myself as someone who can act and doesn't have to rely on my figure or modelling background.

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.

The world should not be exclusive of the ideal body. It has to include all ideals, all bodies.

I'm really sick of the 'one percent' that is taking all the money from this country, draining the middle class, making it nonexistent.

I didn't want to act in high school, because I was sick of auditioning for Nickelodeon, Disney mean girls, or the cheerleader.

I signed with an acting agent first; I wasn't really interested in signing with a modeling agent. But that same day, they said, 'You should go over to Ford.'

I'm completely bathing suit-obsessed, and I love lurking on Instagram looking for the best bikinis.

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.

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.

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.

There's nothing wrong with being comfortable in your own skin. If anything, it can be really beautiful.

I'm a big fan of the Irish accent. After a couple of drinks, I start to get a bit of an Irish lilt, too.

I'm a carnivore. I really like to eat meat. I crave iron, so I am definitely not the kind of person who you will find eating a salad.

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 absolutely love Ireland. It's one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and I have strong ties here. Both my grandmothers are from Ireland, and I have spent every summer in Bantry since my father, who is an artist, had the romantic idea 20 years ago to buy an old farmhouse on the west coast and renovate it.

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.

People will say, 'How do I get abs like you?' I don't know. We're all different. If my girlfriend did what I did, hiking and yoga for a workout, it would affect her body in a different way. That's the message that I really want to get out there. I'm trying to counteract that culture.

I sleep the best in my own bed, which is too bad because I'm not sleeping in my bed enough.

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.

It sounds really cliched, but just be true to who you are.
