For me, I want a president who is more than a symbol, someone who has ideas that I align with.

I basically had the same body when I was 14 and that was weird. But I think I had really good parents. I got really lucky.

Any woman is sexual, absolutely.

Pop music is great, but there's a lot of BS about the attitude of guys being super-gangster - that's why the whole thing is silly. It's making fun of itself. That self-awareness is why people enjoy it. It's refreshing.

When I post a selfie and someone comments, 'Oh, sure, go ahead and reclaim your sexuality, I got my rocks off,' that's not my problem.

That's the one thing that's funny about going from modeling to acting. In modeling, you're supposed to think about what you look like all the time. When you're in front of the camera, if you're not considering that, God knows what the pictures will look like. With acting, you have to completely forget it.

When a woman who is sexual takes off her top, it plays into something.

I grew up eating street tacos and burritos on the beach, so I like people who can eat and aren't afraid to show it.

I started modeling when I was - not older, but not 12. I have a mom who's a feminist, she's an English professor, an intellectual. She really gave me the equipment to understand that you can celebrate yourself without putting yourself down or needing to apologize for the way you look. I think that attitude is really crucial for a model.

We all have an idea of what we look like, and then you see a giant picture of yourself and you're like, Oh my god, wait, that's me? And it's such a specific version of me, with styling, and art direction... It's like when you hear yourself on a recording, and you go, That's what I sound like?! That's how I feel when I see images of me.

The movie industry has been contacting me. I have been auditioning - that's actually why I am in California. I was here meeting with studios and auditioning.

I have great childhood memories cow-tipping, going off and getting lost in the bog for hours, and coming home covered in dirt.

I was born in London and lived there until I was five. We traveled a lot. But really San Diego is my hometown. It's where I went to high school.

The way we are annoying them, being playful and having a good time with our body - it's something very important for young women today to have that confidence. I think it's actually celebrating women and their bodies.

I always have Aquaphor which is just for like chapped lips, especially in the wintertime when you're traveling a lot. That's just the worst combination of things. And always a really good pair of jeans. Something vintage-y, a little loose and boyfriend-y, but not over the top. They're just comfortable but could still be dressed up or down.

I really was more sexual than my classmates.

Sex is normal. Desire is normal. Attention is normal, and that's okay.

I know everyone hates when I say this, they think it's a cliché, but if you don't feel good in the bathing suit you're not going to look good. Confidence is really important.

For many women, how our hair looks and feels is an everyday part of our lives, whether we always want it to be or not. And ultimately, feeling good about yourself is good for your life and who you are. So if having the best hair you can have means you feel better about your day, then go get that hair. And don't feel guilty about it!

I genuinely hit puberty before everyone.
