I feel like when I'm working and when it's not my time off, I like working out alone because it's kind of like that time that my mind gets to just shut off and I can just focus on working on being a better boxer.
When I moved to New York, obviously I work with a lot of high fashion brands and I get to wear insane, totally crazy bags and all this crazy stuff but still, I'll always go back to my original sense of style.
I was always in front of the camera. My mom was really passionate about photography - I have pictures of my whole life. I've always just been in front of my mom's camera and it's always comfortable to me.
The most hurtful thing to me is when people try to put assumptions on me and my relationship because that is not OK. Love is something that's really serious and private that you can't try to claim or know.
When I moved to New York, leggings were always a staple piece in my closet and I'm always with leggings, a T-shirt, a cool jacket and shoes cause that's what would be easier for me when I was a kid.
I still love doing that. There's nothing like being able to go back and play volleyball again with a team cause, I can have my volleyball in my New York apartment but we can't do so much there.
When I'm on the road, a lot of the times - even though people don't really think it - we walk on heels and the runways are really long! My legs get a pretty good workout just from being on the runway.
I'm an athletic person. But I love my body because I know what it's been through to be what it is. And honestly I'm not going to change for someone that is depressed about their life.
![I started going to castings a few years ago when people didn't know who I was. People forget about [that time] because they've seen my career - the path that it's had in the last couple years.](https://quotes.thefamouspeople.com/images/quotes/gigi-hadid-136338.jpg)
I started going to castings a few years ago when people didn't know who I was. People forget about [that time] because they've seen my career - the path that it's had in the last couple years.
Recently, I kind of found that if I just step into my own skin and relax and just walk like I'm just walking down the street, it always looks better than if you try too many cool moves.
![I've always been more of the athlete in my family, but Bella [Hadid] is just good at - when she needs buckle down for like two weeks and be in [the gym] every day, she's really good at that.](https://quotes.thefamouspeople.com/images/quotes/gigi-hadid-136337.jpg)
I've always been more of the athlete in my family, but Bella [Hadid] is just good at - when she needs buckle down for like two weeks and be in [the gym] every day, she's really good at that.
I try to be more goofy when I'm on set now that I'm more comfortable. In real life, I'm so goofy and super weird. I'm never mean but people don't see the weird side of me.
I grew up riding horses and on the beach and I never really wore makeup and my mom showed that as an example. She wore makeup, just in a beautiful, effortless way.
I always feel better and more beautiful in things that I'm comfortable in so I was fine with putting a little makeup on and keeping my leggings on and going to a party.
There were a lot of times where I didn't get any shows and even until recently got a lot of kind of negative commentary from social media about my runway walk.
So many women around the world in so many different career paths and places are expected to be perfect and I know that it sounds cliché, but none of us are.
It's been something that has always been kind of okay with me - not in the sense that I didn't want to get better, but I always knew that I could get better.
My coaches are always my friends. I've always had a coach a year of my life and they're really important part of being a better human for me.
Just be nice to people and be someone people want to work with because if people don't like working with you it's just not going to work out.
I think just having smooth skin is so great because when you get your summer tan, you don't have to do anything. It's just soft and smooth.
I post pictures that I want to post and say what I want to say. If that's three times a day or three times per month then whatever.
I grew up as a horseback rider and a volleyball player so honestly when I got a gym membership in New York, I thought I was going to die.
I read one thing, and 100 people can say good things then you read one bad thing that says you're the worst and you believe them.
![I have so much respect for people that can do it [tredmill running], I wish I could because it looks really cool and really fun.](https://quotes.thefamouspeople.com/images/quotes/gigi-hadid-136322.jpg)
I have so much respect for people that can do it [tredmill running], I wish I could because it looks really cool and really fun.
I stretch in the morning a lot and I do a lot of saunas and steam rooms during fashion week just to keep my blood flowing.
I think my best memories are when I go home to California and I get play beach volleyball with my friends from home.
I am double jointed in my elbow. So I can turn it all the way around and then bend it so it looks like it's broken.
I think friendships are a lot more valuable than one job. If you're going to let it ruin that, then that's stupid.
My biggest fear is the people I love not knowing how much I love them. I just want to remind people all the time.
I get to go back and ride my horses with all the people that I grew up with because that's really fun for me.
