I was at a photo shoot, and I was wearing a cross necklace that my mom bought me, and somebody made a joke like, 'Why are you wearing a cross? Like you would be religious.' And then they took it away. I was really affected by that. The whole thing made me realize that I do want a cross with me at all times.

Anywhere in life, for girls there's pressure to keep your weight and to keep yourself feeling and looking good.

You have to think hard with a tattoo. 'What will I love for the rest of my life?'

I hate exercising self-control.

I'm not going to starve just to be thin... I want to enjoy life and I can't if I'm not eating and miserable.

I grew up in Florida riding horses, so for the majority of my life I was either in boots and jeans or a bathing suit.
