As a model, I'm used to having my body scrutinized, and I have a tough skin so I can shake it off. I know I'm the only person that gets to decide how my body should look.

More quotes by Ashley Graham
I don't want women to hold themselves back. I think there are too many women who are self-conscious about the way they look - the way they see themselves in the mirror.
Ashley Graham
I think the simpler the better.
Ashley Graham
I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too. There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.
Ashley Graham
Don't let your image, don't let your size, hold you back. If I had let my hips or my jiggly thighs hold me back or the fact that I've got these big heavy breasts, then I would not be where I am today.
Ashley Graham
Embracing uniqueness and showcasing the beauty of our differences is what I am all about so the fact that my words and image can impact positive change is a perk of this job I never expected I would have.
Ashley Graham
Basketball really is a metaphor for life - the intangible skills I have learned on the court, have helped shape the person I am today.
Ashley Graham
Some people might only recognize me half naked in my bikini and bra!
Ashley Graham
Since I first started playing basketball, I have just loved it, and nothing has ever made me lose that love.
Ashley Graham
If a plus-size woman is not represented in fashion or on TV, what the hell are we doing?
Ashley Graham
I am always being asked to gain or lose weight, but I am at a point now where I don't care anymore. I love my body, I love my super-hourglass shape and I love showing it off.
Ashley Graham
I'm going to be pulling my pants up all day, and I'm just going to have a terrible day. Because if your clothes don't fit, just like bras or anything, it's not a good day.
Ashley Graham
We are lucky to live in a world made up of so many different kinds of people and I am confident in the direction we are going.
Ashley Graham
Love yourself. Be proud of who you are.
Ashley Graham
I've learned a lot about fashion through modeling, but you know what they say, mother knows best. She used to tell me, Your shoes, bags and belt better match before you walk out the door. I love her, but I don't necessarily agree with that advice anymore!
Ashley Graham
Some styles don't look good on bigger women.
Ashley Graham
It's really important that we stop body shaming people online and on social media. The rude comments under pictures, comparing women in who looks better posts - all that does is force us to judge each other. It only sets us back and women, now more than ever, need to empower each other.
Ashley Graham
Growing up I didn't have curvy role models, mainly because I didn't see enough curvy women represented in major ads.
Ashley Graham
I feel like we have to have [plus size models] as soon as possible. We're the norm. We're the majority.
Ashley Graham
For me, I don't do nip or bush. I won't do it. And that's because I talk to numerous young women in high school and I talk to them about owning who they are, and not giving up their sexuality because they have to.
Ashley Graham
I always say wear what makes you feel most confident, and confidence doesn't always come over night.
