It was a sad existence. There were no highs. It was a flatline of life for a few months, you hear these horrific stories of people not seeing their child as theirs, or wanting to hurt them, and I never felt that way. That's why I put off getting it checked as I hated Chrissy Teigen, not my child.

I think anyone who follows me knows how I react. It's not always poetic and perfect but neither am I.

I actually hate receiving gifts, it makes me very uncomfortable for some reason.

Some parents struggle to put food on the table. And plenty of women aren't getting the pay they deserve. While I don't expect the government to solve all these problems, I do want leaders who care about these things and do what they can to help.

I think that everyone wants sexy hair, and when they think of sexy hair they think of volume - they don't think about flat, limp, lifeless hair. But for some women, it's hard to achieve because we're constantly buying these volumizing shampoos [that] leave a residue in your hair.

I think it's obvious why someone wouldn't personally want to see these words on their feed, but I'm also concerned about the overall negative environment created when the comment section becomes a battleground for people to bully each other. I signed up for this.

I had the opportunity to speak at a recent fundraiser [for Hillary Clinton] and felt extremely honored that she would allow someone as, well, untraditional as me to stand at her podium.

Men are very tough, very critical of me. I think they expect you to basically just be a picture. They don't want to hear you speak.

I want my daughter to be able to go to school and see the diversity of things that her classmates are eating and appreciate that, too. So I'm really excited for her to just kind of sit in and watch me cook and be really hands on and just enjoy cooking.

The thing is, you don't even want to be mad about someone calling you fat because who the f--- cares? Like if somebody tells me, 'Oh, you look curvier.' That should not be a diss. The fact is, we live in a time where that is a diss. It's horrible we can be like, 'You look so skinny,' and someone's like, 'Thank you!' That's horrible. That's equally as horrible to me. So the time we live in, it's upsetting.

I wasn't a model that loved food. I was someone that loved food that started modeling.

I'm very open about the fact that I'm a big fan of day drinking. I also love cooking. I cook all day, and I have to have something in my hand while I'm doing that.

Models eat. They're crazy about moderation, but they eat. There's this feeling that all models are into drugs or drinking or whatever, but I've got to say, 99% of the girls I work with are the healthiest people I know. Of course, as humans, we're not going to eat salads and organic food all the time.

I shaved away my teeth and made them into little pencil points for nice teeth, that's kind of weird if you think about it. I was a notorious teeth-grinder, so all my front teeth became a couple millimeters shorter.

A lot of people are always striving for bigger and better. People are always wondering if the grass is greener and then they'll start hearing things or meeting other people.

You aren't just voting for the president. So many issues that affect your everyday life are decided locally on that ballot as well. So go get that god damn sticker. Your country needs you.

No election is ever just about one issue, but I care a lot about women's rights and making sure parents have what they need to raise healthy kids. I always have cared, but having just had a child, I know how serious it is to be a mother.

The thing about Donald [Trump] is the jokes write themselves. I don't even think of it to be trolling. What he says is the joke.

One day you're gonna ask that to the wrong girl who is really struggling and it's gonna be hurtful to them. And I hate it.
