Karlie kloss

I love kids, so two things that I have thought about are being a pediatrician or a kindergarten teacher.

I think that taking ballet is one of the best things a girl can do. Period.

MTV in general is involved with so many artists - musicians, actors, people in the fashion industry, and art world.

You have to grow thick skin and that only comes with time and learning.

I like to add personal touches to my decorating style, including photographs and nostalgic items that remind me of family and home.

It’s an interesting sign of the times that models are being booked for jobs and covers because of their following on a social media platform, I walked in the Balmain show for Olivier Rousteing. If you rounded up all the numbers of the majority of his line-up, there would be upwards of 10, 15 million followers.

My school in St. Louis is great. They basically created a program where I can do online classes and independent studies when I'm traveling. But then I still get to go home and take classes in a normal school environment.

I have a notebook that is filled to the brim with my dreams and ideas and goals and aspirations.

I'm certainly not an expert and I imagine I'll spend my life figuring it out. What I do know, is that you can't take it all on yourself: find amazing people to collaborate with, build a team, and support other people doing the same. When you share your goals and ambitions with other people and they share with you, you exist in an energizing cycle of always creating new things with people that believe in you.

There's no time for boys in my life right now.

Be patient. Be confident in yourself. Anything can happen if you really work at it. Never give up. It‘s corny, but never give up.

I travel a lot, so I keep my look simple. My home décor style is pretty similar. I try to make it inviting, homey, and comfortable, with some special and personal pieces throughout.

Today, models are able to share industry news, trends, and communicate with fans through Twitter, Instagram and blogs. So in a way, our position as models is way more personable and relatable.

I tend to gravitate towards neutrals in my home but also love finding interesting fabrics or pieces that add a pop of color.

I have gotten to travel the world and experience all these incredible things thanks to my career.

Christy Turlington is my idol. She really is. She's a gorgeous woman inside and out. I admire her work in the charity field. She's just been able to balance it all - and gracefully, as well.

I loved everything about Spain - the people, the language, and the food!

Girls are stronger in numbers. So yes, I believe girls should stick together whenever possible.

I typically go for a more classic aesthetic, though I like to contrast that with bold statement pieces throughout my house.

I think to have the skill set and the ability to physically help others in matters of life and death must be incredibly empowering.

If you believe in yourself and feel confident in yourself, you can do anything. I really believe that.

I love being a part of something so many people can relate to and enjoy.

I always carry a camera because it is so important to me to take pictures and document all the incredible things and places I have been able to see through this experience.

Ballet really taught me so much about the power of movement.

When it comes to designing your first apartment, I think people get overwhelmed and end up collecting pieces that don't always mesh well together because they don't have a clear vision. Take your time and use tools that can help inspire and guide you through the process.

I’m freakishly tall, so finding pants that fit is something I’ve struggled with my whole life.

I keep a notebook of the things I need to get done in a day, week, month along with my overarching goals. Whenever I have a couple moments on set or on a plane, I work on ticking off my to-do list.

What I enjoy most is that every day I get to play a new character.

I love indoor plants. It makes any room feel open, fresh and homey. Keeping them alive is always a fun challenge for me!

My friends and I love having girls' nights in. We're hardly ever all in the same city, but when we're finally able to hang out, we make the most of it.

I forgot how much I loved going to class, actually. But I also forgot what having school homework feels like: stressful!

I guess I would say, it's okay to put things off until the very last minute as long as you know you've got them under control.

I work strategically with my management team to make all decisions.

I did every sport under the sun while growing up.

I never imagined myself doing this. Doors opened for me and I ran for it.

My dreams came true while wearing the opening look from the spring/summer 2010 Dior ready-to-wear collection. I will never forget how special I felt opening John Galliano's show, like I was living a dream.

Whenever I have even a spare second, I'm in the kitchen whipping up a batch of cookies. I make a mean batch of chocolate chippers.

My favourite place to eat is my grandma's kitchen. She makes a mean crab cake.

Every single day, I'm shocked at what I've been given the opportunity to do.

I'm going to continue working as a model. I want to do it all! And I think it's possible to keep working while you go to school. Christy Turlington did it. Natalie Portman did it. Emma Watson just did it! And those are just women in the public eye, but plenty of others do it, too. You know, women around the world are great at multitasking. We do it well.

You are physically up for scrutiny by everyone and you hear everyone's opinion.

You learn to control every aspect of your muscles, your face, your toes, your fingernails. And that is how you tell a story, through movement.

My friend Taylor Swift’s new album, 1989.

Holy cow, in the course of one week I feel like I've lived about a year!

I have a necklace with a golden key, given to me by my sisters, which I always wear.

I just keep thinking how lucky I am that I haven't had to sacrifice anything.

I'm learning Spanish - I got Rosetta Stone for Christmas.

Because I'm so tall, clothes look different on me than they do on others.

I still get butterflies when I'm doing a runway show. The music starts, you're wearing these gorgeous clothes and your nervous about your high heels, if your shoes are going to break, if your going to slip or do something wrong.

I would love to rent a little cottage or cabin in Colorado and learn to ski or snowboard. And on the warmer side, I also want to rent a house in Hawaii and learn to surf!

An entire wall in my home is covered with framed pictures of my family and friends. It's nice to go home after a long week of traveling for work and be reminded of memories with the people I love.

Growing up in a house of five girls, I couldn't help but glance at a fashion magazine or two.

By the end of Fashion Week my apartment is covered with makeup and clothes and shoes. Everything you can think of.

I wish I could fly. Or speak fluent Chinese. Both I think are equally impossible.

I want to encourage more young women to get involved in coding, because it's important for them to be able to help shape the future, and coding is the future.

The places I've travelled and cultures I've experienced have been reflected in my home decor choices.

My entire high school career - my entire school career - I've been like three feet taller than everyone in my grade.

I grew six inches in a year.

I am very lucky to be surrounded and guided by an incredible support team comprised of my family and agents.

It's nice to just be a kid and hang out with your friends at lunch.
