People called me 'cottage cheese thighs' all through school.

I don't think guys judge curvy women as much as women do. It shocks me how catty some women can be. In my whole life, I only had one guy break up with me over weight.

I work out not to lose weight but to maintain my good health. And anyway, if I did want to lose weight, it would be no one's decision but my own.

I love my hourglass figure.

I've lived the torment of the names. I've lived the torment of boyfriends breaking up with me because they were afraid I was going to be too fat later in life.

'A New Model' is saying that women should be confident in who they are and that they can be their own role models.

The beauty of being a curvier girl is that we're all shaped so differently.

I just don't live my life in a world where I am not feeling my best, and feeling my best is feeling sexy.

I hit the beauty jackpot, I get it, but that's not enough: you've got to have more to have longevity in this business. It's always been, 'OK, so what can I do now?'

I wasn't put on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated' as a plus-size model; I was put on the cover of 'Sports Illustrated' as a model, as a rookie, as Ashley Graham.
