Hadid: "What people want to know is, okay, what's after modeling?"

Hadid: “My idea of happiness is effortless happiness. The things that ground you. For me it’s art and cooking, for example, and when I can be with my friends and the people I love and do simple things. That’s when I’m the happiest.”

Hadid: "Not enough people know what Lyme disease is and the dangers of being bitten by an insect."

Hadid: "I've learned that if I only put my mind to one thing that I can get tunnel vision. Then I may not be as open to other opportunities because I'm so focused on one thing. I think what's worked better for me personally is I have three goals every day: be nice, work hard, and make friends."

Hadid: "I grew up on the beach, so I'm really comfortable in a bathing suit, playing volleyball, running around."

Hadid: “Everyone has a different body shape, so you kind of have to figure out not only what works best for your body type, but what also makes you feel confident. Even if everyone thinks you look good in a bikini, and you don’t feel good in it, you’re not going to be at your best. If you feel great in a bikini, you can always work it.”

Hadid: “My biggest thing about being a role model is whatever I’m preaching, I’m practicing.”

Hadid: "As long as they want me modeling, I'll be here. But I hope to maybe have a cooking show one day or host a talk show when I'm older and have a developed brand. That would be really fun."

Hadid: "If you look at sculptures from hundreds of years ago, everyone's naked. It's not a bad thing."

Hadid: "I only box. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. I can't just go to the gym and run. I'd rather die. I played volleyball and rode horses my entire life, so just, like, moving to a city and having to go the gym was just, like, so weird for me."

Hadid: "I pay attention to how every makeup artist does everything."

Hadid: "I don't really have the patience to do my hair, which is why it's always parted down the middle, slicked, in a low ponytail or a messy high bun. I'm too lazy to do my own hair, but I like doing my makeup."

Hadid: "I personally would rather do the Master Cleanse for ten days than just eat salad for six months."

Hadid: "No, I'm not the first or last model of my type in this industry. You can make up all the reasons you think I am where I am, but really, I'm a hard worker that's confident in myself - one that came at a time where the fashion industry was ready for a change."

Hadid: "I'm always tan and blonde and don't really fit into New York. I'm a California girl, even if I try and cover it up with leather."

Hadid: "In real life, I'm so goofy and super weird. I'm never mean, but people don't see the weird side of me. Like, I'll be dancing around. My best friends will always say that they wish others saw that side of me, when I'm doing a weird dance or weird faces or voices."

Hadid: "In California, I'm more of a beach chick, and I kind of take on a model city girl when I'm in New York."

Hadid: "You find how you feel your best, whether you feel better when you're eating gluten-free or whatever it is. I feel better when I eat a burger every other night."

Hadid: "Honestly... I only get starstruck over chefs."

Hadid: "I just try to be in tune with my body. If I start to feel sick, I will try to catch it at the root. I don't really let myself get to the point where it becomes a problem. That's so important when you're travelling because if you land in Paris and you have to go from the airport straight to set, you don't have time to go to the doctor."

Hadid: "I am the biggest foodie ever."

Hadid: "I've always said that I feel lucky to live in the era of social media and be a working model in this time. Back in the day, models were just another face. But social media has given people a voice and not just another face. Not only can you show the world your personality and stuff like that, but you can be a brand ambassador easily."

Hadid: "I've learned very quickly to fall asleep wherever I can. I sleep in the car from event to event or show to show sometimes."

Hadid: "It sounds really cheesy, but I've just really been so focused on making sure that I am nice to everyone that I work with and making the effort to get to know the people on set, whether it's the catering crew or the famous photographer."

Hadid: "I'm all for one month of going really hard and eating really healthy and boxing every day if you're doing it for, like, one job."

Hadid: “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.”

Hadid: "If you're not a makeup artist, and you just try to go for the big looks, it just gets the best of you."

Hadid: “It’s really about making opportunities for yourself and connecting with people on a more-than-normal level. That opens doors. You never know if the caterer’s brother is someone. You don’t know who someone is having dinner with that night. So being a nice person and touching people creates opportunity.”

Hadid: “I’ve always said, eat clean to stay fit, have a burger to stay sane.”

Hadid: “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.”

Hadid: “I think my best memories are when I go home to California and I get to play beach volleyball with my friends from home.”

Hadid: “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.”

Hadid: “I didn’t expect myself to be perfect my first season because no one ever pulled me aside and said, This is how you walk.”

Hadid: “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.”

Hadid: “My biggest fear is the people I love not knowing how much I love them. I just want to remind people all the time.”

Hadid: “Sometimes things aren’t a dream because you don’t really think it’s a possibility. So my goal on a daily basis is just to go to work and be someone that people like to be around. I just want to work hard and be nice to people, and I feel like when you touch people in that way, on a more personal level, then they go to work the next day pushing for you. And that’s when an opportunity comes that you wouldn’t have even expected otherwise.”

Hadid: “Going and running, just to run on the treadmill, wasn’t my thing.”

Hadid: “We get to live in a time that we get to use social media as a tool. It’s not just a face on a piece of paper, and that’s what makes you someone’s favorite model. We can have a very similar sense of humor as someone, and that’s why we’re their favorite model, or our personal style, off the runway, is why we’re their favorite.”

Hadid: “I think that not being perfect has given me the freedom to keep getting better.”
