It's been amazing how this crazy career has been created. I feel that it's been given to me. I wouldn't be anywhere without Victoria's Secret.
The best V-Day gift I've ever received was a personalized photo collage.
I feel if I'm healthy and happy, I look good. With a good mixture of fitness and healthy food I always feel great!
Victoria's Secret is like a big family.
I was always interested in fashion and beauty. I was fifteen when I was scouted in a flea market. Two years later, I arrived in New York. I was in awe because it was like another planet.
Most women find a man with good manners sexy.
I'd like to one day be featured on a list of inspirational people who have made a difference in the world, whether it be helping underprivileged people or putting an end to the poaching of wildlife in Africa.
I want to live my life naked, with all my little naked kids naked in the garden.
Brazil, I'm totally obsessed. I've been going since I was 17, and the first time I went, I fell in love with it.
My ideal Valentine's Day is spending it with someone you are in love with and for that someone to make you feel loved and appreciated.
I'd love to be a pop star - at heart.
I was very skinny, braces; so I never thought I would be a model.
I am healthy and happy.
I get skinnier if I'm very busy.
At school I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me. I would say to my mum, 'The girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV.'
I'm usually bikini-ready all year round.
I try to train as much as I can, as much as my schedule allows it.
If I'm on holiday, I'm active on the beach, I play tennis, I run, I swim a lot. It's just about making the workouts fun, I think, and then it doesn't really feel that bad.
I grew up in a farm in South Africa and I was scouted there and they sent me to Europe. It's kind of been blessed, since then it happened all so fast.
I have always been very comfortable in little clothing; its part of my job.
