There's so much more to life than how you look.

I typically get 7 to 8 hours, but I'm a 12-plus-hour sleeper. I need to go into hibernation once a week to refuel.

The beauty industry is just like the fashion industry - prejudice is ingrained. But with new people coming in with fresh eyes and passion, I definitely am seeing progress.

You cannot look at someone and say they are unhealthy. You are not a doctor, and if you were, you'd realize why that's silly.

I always, always take my makeup off last thing at night, no matter what.

Black high-waisted bottoms go with everything.

I started my modelling career by sending my pictures to American Apparel and eventually meeting my friend Petra Collins, who started shooting me for magazines around New York. I ended up signing a modelling contract with Wilhelmina Models a couple of years later.

At first, I was scared that if I claimed I modeled, people would be like, 'What?'

I think that people put a lot of worth into looks. Unfortunately, there's a standard that so many people look up to that is unrealistic for everyone's body type.

Showing young girls' realistically captured bodies in ads lets young girls realise that it's okay to have dimples, stretches, rolls, etc. since we're only human.

Don't be afraid to show off who you are.

I don't want people to think I think I am the most diverse thing fashion has ever seen or whatever. But there are so many different walks of life that I don't represent, and there is no one person who does.

Seeing someone that you can relate to in the media is everything as a child, and a lot of people are not granted that luxury.

People claim to be progressive by celebrating curvy bodies - but the standards for those hourglass shapes are equally rigid. They mask that with body positivity - but what about unconventionally attractive bodies?

I don't really listen to the media or anyone's perception of beauty, so it makes me almost immune to silly comments about my body.

I never thrived in high school.

We need to overcome the stereotype that genders aren't fluid.

I feel really comfortable and cute in bikini bottoms that have thick sides.

Less is more. I would notice that when I did my makeup, I was putting on more makeup than they did on me at shoots. A little goes a long way, so I definitely learned how to wear less.
Barbie Ferreira -
My favorite models are always going to be the people who are pushing the boundary and challenging what it is to be a model.

What the body-positive movement wants is to stop categorizing people, and to let people of all body types be able to do anything, whether they're slightly bigger than the average model or a lot bigger.
Barbie Ferreira -
The way I move, the way I think, the way I handle myself - it might be by accident, but it's who I am, and I've just learned to own that.
