I feel like it’s always about how this girl stays thin, or what one girl is doing to another, and it shouldn’t be that way. – Emily Ratajkowski
I did go to UCLA for art, but the other option was going to Sarah Lawrence and doing creative writing all the way. So that is part of the reason I love to read so much. – Emily Ratajkowski
There is winter in L.A., there is rain in L.A. But there is no rain on ‘Entourage.’ – Emily Ratajkowski
Female empowerment is always something that I’ve felt. It’s not about just being a model; it’s about women in general. – Emily Ratajkowski
I don’t know that it needs to be a transition from modeling to acting. I think that they can both exist at the same time. – Emily Ratajkowski
I sleep the best in my own bed, which is too bad because I’m not sleeping in my bed enough. – Emily Ratajkowski
I think always what happens when you ask men questions on the red carpet, it’s always based on what projects they’re working on, whatever they’re about, rather than this, ‘Give us little tips for all of us women’… because we’re all the same. Questions should just be more individual. – Emily Ratajkowski
I want to establish myself as someone who can act and doesn’t have to rely on my figure or modelling background. – Emily Ratajkowski
My hair is very straight – people always think that I’ve ironed it when I get to set. – Emily Ratajkowski
I don’t believe in proving myself, ever. I’m in the school of thought where if someone is a curious person, they can find whatever they want. – Emily Ratajkowski
I always have sort of been someone who has contradictory parts, and I haven’t tried to uncomplicate myself. I’ve sort of let things seem contradictory, and sometimes it really confuses people. I don’t know if it’s working all the time, but I’d rather do that than try to sell myself as one thing or another. – Emily Ratajkowski
I’d rather just be who I am and get the kind of movies that I want or the kind of modeling jobs I want based on who I am, really. – Emily Ratajkowski
There’s nothing wrong with being comfortable in your own skin. If anything, it can be really beautiful. – Emily Ratajkowski
I really love Celine. Obviously. Alexander Wang. Givenchy. Those are probably my main favorites. Dolce & Gabbana, too. – Emily Ratajkowski
My high school didn’t have a football team; we just had like a surf team, because I grew up in Encinitas, California, which is the ultimate place where everyone skated or surfed, so it was a very different culture. It was, like, cool to be the art kid. – Emily Ratajkowski
When I spend a lot of time in New York, or somewhere when I don’t have a car, I miss that mobility and freedom that you have when you have a car. You don’t have to rely on anyone else. – Emily Ratajkowski
Your bikini should compliment your dress, and they should work together to frame your body. It’s just like layering a T-shirt under a blazer. Just keep your proportions in mind. – Emily Ratajkowski
I wouldn’t say I am the type of girl who craves Doritos, but I definitely love a good cupcake sometimes. Or a croissant in the morning. – Emily Ratajkowski
The ideal feminist world shouldn’t be one where women suppress their human instincts for attention and desire. We shouldn’t be weighed down with the responsibility of explaining our every move. We shouldn’t have to apologize for wanting attention, either. We don’t owe anyone an explanation. – Emily Ratajkowski
It’s a weird thing. Rick Springfield wrote ‘Jessie’s Girl,’ and he probably gets sick of talking about ‘Jessie’s Girl.’ The thing is, I didn’t write ‘Blurred Lines.’ I didn’t direct the music video. I’m really happy for the success, but it is kind of a funny thing to follow me around. – Emily Ratajkowski
