Kate Upton quotes:

I think it's very hard to find a good friend. That's why I'm so lucky to have two sisters, because they're my best friends, and they have to be with me forever. They're stuck with me.

I can't change my bra size. They're natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can't change some things. I really just live my life. I love my body. It's what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.

I love my curves. You know, I'm healthy and I think thats what Sports Illustrated represents: healthy, confident women who love their bodies.

My dream was always to be on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated.'

After my first 'Sports Illustrated' cover, I felt terrible about myself for a solid month. People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. I'm not a toy; I'm a human. I'm not here to be used.

I always had career goals. And I figured out a path I wanted to take to accomplish those goals. If that meant calling the best modeling agency in the world, that's what it meant.

Anywhere in life, for girls there's pressure to keep your weight and to keep yourself feeling and looking good.

I grew up in Florida riding horses, so for the majority of my life I was either in boots and jeans or a bathing suit.

If I can help and influence girls who are going through body-image issues then I think that's amazing.

I'm actually an equestrian, and I showed in the American Paint Horse Association and competed for top 20 in the nation.

I was at a photo shoot, and I was wearing a cross necklace that my mom bought me, and somebody made a joke like, 'Why are you wearing a cross? Like you would be religious.' And then they took it away. I was really affected by that. The whole thing made me realize that I do want a cross with me at all times.

My mom played every sport possible. My dad is 'extremely' competitive. You can't even play Ping-Pong with him.

I'm sure every designer has a certain person in mind who they would ideally like to wear their clothes, but the problem is that a lot of the time that person doesn't actually exist, unless she is a 15-year-old model.

I'm hoping they slow down a little bit with technology, because I'm just trying to keep up.

I have to give credit to my trainer. He definitely kept me motivated in staying in shape... I've always been naturally curvy, but of course I had to get used to being in the public eye.

Pickup lines never work...I think someone clever, witty and funny is very attractive.

I hate exercising self-control.

To me, what's sexy is when you look like you're having a good time. That, and when you look effortless and have messy hair,

I think twerking is overrated.

I'm not going to starve just to be thin... I want to enjoy life and I can't if I'm not eating and miserable.

I know I said sometimes I wear clothes but apparently I lied...I'm only packing swimsuits.

I have a paralyzing fear of snakes.

So if I get pegged as a bikini girl, that's fine, and that can still translate into acting or other areas. But, no, I don't wanna be doing bikini shoots my whole life.

I like my bikinis very small, and I also like, uh, nude-colored bikinis because people double-take -- they think I'm naked on the beach.

I just think that pick-up lines in general are horrible. None of them work.

I would love to have my own lingerie line.

People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. It's actually funny. I'm always like, I'm about to pull something on you, and you're so focused on thinking I'm dumb, you're not even going to know.

Listen: I like my bikinis very small, and I also like, uh, nude-colored bikinis because people double-take - they think I'm naked on the beach.

I can never find the right bras.

I don't ever want to be a person that I'm not. A lot of girls fall into the trap where they are trying to impress other people, and that's the time when they lose themselves.

I just want to get married in a bathing suit... Deal with it.

I like to laugh. I like to have a good time. I don't like to be so serious about things, so I would want a guy who would want to laugh and have a good time, too.

I love my body. It's what God gave me.

I never deprive myself. If I'm craving something once a week, then Ill go have it Ice cream or whatever, I just eat the foods I like.

I think as long as you look like your having a good time, I'm impressed. Because I have a lot of energy, and I like being around it all the time. If you're just sitting in the corner, I probably won't notice you.

I think the fame aspect, there was definitely a period when I had to get used to it. My family had to get used to it, too. It's exciting.

I understand why my male followers like me.

I want to be able to sing well, but I have the worst voice in the world.

I want to enjoy life, and I can't if I'm not eating and miserable.

I'm a horseback rider. I know how to use a whip.

I'm pretty competitive. I talk a big game - even when I'm going to lose.

It definitely happens more often than you would think when someone comes up and you're like: "He's really attractive and seems really nice," and it just doesn't work if he smells bad.

I've always loved fashion, but it's not what I set out to do.

Nikolaj [Coster-Waldau] plays one of the ugliest villains. We had to create such a horrible guy, because he is the bad guy in the [The Other Woman] movie. We took him as far pathologically as possible.

Normally, when you go to a beach, everybody is wearing bikinis, but on a film, you're the only one. There's like 60 people staring at you. They're doing their jobs, but they're still staring at you.

People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. It's actually funny. I'm always like, I'm about to pull something on you, and you're so focused on thinking I'm dumb you're not even going to know.

So, I have my own horse and two ponies. I grew up around horses, and that really is my passion.

The things that they're rejecting I can't change. I can't change my bra size. They're natural. I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can't change some things. I really just live my life. love my body. It's what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.

You find your strengths and play them up.

You have to think hard with a tattoo. 'What will I love for the rest of my life?'

I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.
