Molly Sims quotes:

I grew up watching Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer.

My mom FedExes a red velvet cake she makes from scratch to me every birthday.

House of Style' changed my life. I literally had no experience in front of a TV camera before, and there I was taking over for Rebecca Romijn. My exposure heightened instantly.

I'm going to get up every morning at 6:30 to work out. Then, when I've kept with it all week, I give myself something I really want, like a new handbag or a piece of jewelry I'm coveting.

Don't believe everything you read.

Modeling in Europe at the beginning of my career was pretty hard, with the constant traveling and uncertainty as to where I was going to be from one day to the next.

Fish oil is a great protein for your hair.

Be yourself, fill your life with good people, and don't get a big head. It can all be gone tomorrow.

I was always getting run-down from jet lag and being in strange towns where I didn't speak the language or know what the food was like.

I still love red velvet cake.

I'm much better off the tee. I'm not a great putter. I do not have a good short game.

Timing is everything.

I've also learned that sometimes, no matter how much you want things to work, you have to accept that sometimes they just don't.

I believe in magic, psychics and all that.

For an hour every day, I did something. I was on the elliptical or the treadmill, and if someone asked me to go to a class - whether it was spinning, boxing, yoga, you name it - I went. By the end of the month, I felt so good, I just kept going. I didn't want to lose my momentum.

I have this whole thing: if you look good, you feel good, and if you feel good, you look good.

I tried to be really healthy and eat whole and organic as much as possible. I think that's the key to avoiding crazy weight gain.

I think it's important to come from a humble place.

Modeling in Europe at the beginning of my career was pretty hard, with the constant traveling and uncertainty as to where I was going to be from one day to the next. I was always getting run-down from jet lag and being in strange towns where I didn't speak the language or know what the food was like.

I watch my wheat intake.

Basically, high protein, low carb. I work out three to four times a week. I definitely don't do the same thing every day, whether it be spinning or hiking or walking or doing the treadmill. I try to do something different every day. But definitely the one thing is, I sweat.

Best thing that's ever happened to me. I focus so much less on me. It's made me content, it's made me happy. It's like a Christmas present every single day that I get to unwrap. It's hard work.

Don't wear big earrings and a big necklace and a big ring all at the same time. Pick your magic.

Get in front of a mirror, know your body.

I absolutely love being a mother.

I always tell women, "Get in front of a mirror, know your body." Don't think, "OK, I'm going to lose five pounds and I'm going to gain five pounds." Try to find an acceptance in the present and buy things that make you feel good. I would say, if you're buying less expensive clothes, buy two sizes bigger. They'll hang better.

I do really well under pressure.

I do try to watch it. I'm not saying you have to put yourself on a diet, because I hate the word "diet." But it's more of, like, having a balanced lifestyle makes me feel better. I try to do one to two days with no meat. I try to lessen my gluten. Those are things that I struggle with.

I think I've done every crazy diet there was in the beginning, but it's weird: I'm thinner now than I was when I was modeling. I don't obsess about it.

I think that since I've had the baby, who's almost two, it's a work-hard-play-hard. Imake a lot of lists, I'm very scheduled, which is hard sometimes, but it keeps me organized - I know Now I can play or Now I've got to work.

I try to do one to two days with no meat. I try to lessen my gluten. Those are things that I struggle with.

I value so many people who have to work full time, definitely single mothers. Their work is the hardest work. I applaud it so much.

I value so many people who have to work full time, definitely single mothers. Their work is the hardest work. I applaud it so much. I absolutely love being a mother. I love his milestones. I love his smile. I love that he's talking and making sentences and telling me he loves me. It's amazing.

I wanted to be consistent with my exercise, so I committed to working out for 30 days in a row, no matter what.

I would say, if you're buying less expensive clothes, buy two sizes bigger. They'll hang better.

I'm the one who's always kissing all the boys and stuff.

I've always wanted to do things differently, and if one person or ten people are doing the same, then I want to do it differently. I love to travel, I love art, I love fashion. I love going to great restaurants and trying different things. Different cultures are inspiring to me.

I've never met a bread basket that I didn't love. At the same time, it can make me tired.

I've never met a bread basket that I didn't love. At the same time, it can make me tired. If I have too much wine, it's too much sugar. If I overindulge on tortilla chips in a Mexican restaurant, I can really feel it. I think sometimes just watching it and not doing things in excess can really help with whether you feel good or not.

I've spoken to people who I swear can tell the future.

So a lot of people are like, "What are you thinking? Why are you buying size 10?" Well, I'm 5 feet 9 1/2 inches and a size 4. Even though that's what I wear, between a 4 and a 6, a 10 sometimes hangs better on me. Especially the not-as-good materials.

So forget the price tag. I mean, forget the size tag and focus on "Does it look right on me?" Would it look better with a little more blouse? A lot of people think, "Oh, my God, it's got to be tight, it's got to be tight." Actually, you look thinner when it's not as tigh

Sometimes when I'm healthier on a big day, I feel better about myself.

Sometimes when I'm healthier on a big day, I feel better about myself. If I eat terribly and I don't sleep well and I drink too much - three or four or five days in a row - it really catches up to me. It's good to have one fun day, as I call it, whether it be a Saturday, a Sunday, a Monday. It doesn't matter.

This does not come naturally. I have to work out 60 to 90 minutes at least five days a week and stick to a high- fiber, low-calorie eating plan.

Tips like that. Wearing necklaces, knowing how to layer, wearing a statement piece. Don't wear big earrings and a big necklace and a big ring all at the same time. Pick your magic. I have this whole thing: if you look good, you feel good, and if you feel good, you look good.

When you work with the same people for 10 years, they become family. Now when I see them - it might not be for nine months - but when I see them, it's great.
