I'm one of those tall, lanky, awkward kids.

I'm somewhat in my own cloud.

If you believe in yourself and feel confident in yourself, you can do anything. I really believe that.

It's nice to just be a kid and hang out with your friends at lunch.

MTV in general is involved with so many artists - musicians, actors, people in the fashion industry, and art world.

My entire high school career - my entire school career - I've been like three feet taller than everyone in my grade.

My favourite place to eat is my grandma's kitchen. She makes a mean crab cake.

There's no time for boys in my life right now.

What I enjoy most is that every day I get to play a new character.

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.

Whether running, biking, swimming, or dancing, I just like to always be on the move.

You are physically up for scrutiny by everyone and you hear everyone's opinion.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Doors opened for me and I ran for it.
