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

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 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.
Kate Upton

I can never find the right bras.

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

he things that they’re rejecting are things that 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. 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.

You find your strengths and play them up.

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.
Kate Upton

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

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

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

I think that everybody has hard work side, no matter what your job is, you have bad days, you have people you don't get along with. The thing about modeling is every single day you're working with a completely new team so every single day is your first day of work or your first day of school. And you can't really have an off day because that will be the only experience they have with you.

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.
Kate Upton

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

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

I would love to have my own lingerie line.
Kate Upton
18.
I think twerking is overrated.
Kate Upton
19.
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.
Kate Upton
20.
I want to enjoy life and I can't if I'm not eating and miserable...
Kate Upton
21.
I think that glamour is about confidence. I think however somebody feels beautiful, that's glamour.
Kate Upton

You have to think hard with a tattoo. 'What will I love for the rest of my life?'
Kate Upton
23.
I understand why my male followers like me.
Kate Upton

I'm a horseback rider. I know how to use a whip.
Kate Upton
25.
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.
Kate Upton
26.
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.
Kate Upton
27.
I just think that pick-up lines in general are horrible. None of them work.
Kate Upton
28.
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.
Kate Upton
29.
If I can help and influence girls who are going through body-image issues then I think that's amazing.
Kate Upton

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.
Kate Upton
31.
I think that the people who are the loudest about wanting to change you are the people with the least amount of vision and creativity.
Kate Upton
32.
Fashion can give you confidence. And things have definitely changed in the industry, mostly for the positive. We're more accepting now. For me, someone like Ashley Graham, who loves her body and is always talking about it, is inspiring.
Kate Upton
33.
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.
Kate Upton
34.
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.
Kate Upton
35.
I could go anywhere, but I always like to have a bit of a feminine touch to everything I do.
Kate Upton
36.
I'm hoping they slow down a little bit with technology, because I'm just trying to keep up.
Kate Upton
37.
I've always loved fashion, but it's not what I set out to do.
Kate Upton
38.
I think something that's so amazing, and why I really wanted to get into modeling, was to be able to travel, to be able to see the world and live in this glamorous world and meet all these different people.
Kate Upton
39.
I just want to get married in a bathing suit... Deal with it.
Kate Upton

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.
Kate Upton

I hate exercising self-control.
Kate Upton

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.
Kate Upton
43.
I have a paralyzing fear of snakes.
Kate Upton
44.
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.
Kate Upton

I have to say, the other day I was reading some negative comments, and I was thinking they were really funny. So I guess they don't anymore.
Kate Upton
46.
I knew nothing about fashion growing up, because in Florida you just wear bikinis and flip-flops. But kids can be cruel, and they used to make fun of me for having long legs and bushy eyebrows. My mom would flip through magazines and say, "Look, all these models have that too." I decided I wanted to be a model.
Kate Upton
47.
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.
Kate Upton
48.
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.
Kate Upton
49.
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.

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