Being pregnant finally helped me understand what my true relationship was with my body - meaning that it wasn't put on this earth to look good in a swimsuit.
I don't even think twice about wearing a swimsuit because it's always been a part of my lifestyle.
I was a swimsuit model, and I got bored. Acting was challenging. It was very hard and intimidating. We choose to do things in life sometimes that scare the crap outta us. Performing in front of people was my challenge.
What woman doesn't want to feel comfortable in a swimsuit? It's incredibly empowering.
Even buying a swimsuit is super difficult. And then making one is even harder.
I made my career off posing in swimsuits and doing all the swimsuit issues and posters, but I will tell you that that little bit of material on an itsy-bitsy bikini - taking that off was very nerve-racking the first time.
In some countries, women aren't allowed to wear a swimsuit.
For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.
Women, I love. It's amazing to me, because I am a swimsuit model; I'm half-naked. I just love the fact that women love me, and it makes me love them so much back.
To look good in the water you have to pick the right swimsuit. I own close to 500.
