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.
The female body is a beautiful thing, and it should be embraced and celebrated.
To me, 'sexy' is a kind of beauty, a kind of self-expression, one that is to be celebrated.
A woman can be seeking attention and also make a statement.They don't need to be mutually exclusive.
Your body is your body; it's natural. Learn to love yourself for it.
I really like beef jerky. If we go to a gas station, I have to buy beef jerky.
I genuinely hit puberty before everyone.
People have told me to change it over the years, but my dad is always saying, 'Never change your name!' My middle name is O'Hara, so it's a pretty epic name. Emily O'Hara Ratajkowski.
I drive a Nissan Versa and would never spend real money on a car because I destroy things.
I grew up in San Diego, California, and I spent a lot of time in the summer basically living in a bathing suit, you know, get in the car and drive straight to the beach and spend the entire day in that thing, so I always approached bathing suits thinking that they are very much like outfits.

Don't buy anything online that you'd laugh at buying in real life.
I suck at surfing. I can't pull myself up.
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.
I'm more of a Smithwick's or Bulmer's girl than a pint of Guinness.
I love men's butts.
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.
A selfie is a sort of interesting way to reclaim the gaze, right? You're looking at yourself and taking a photo while looking at everyone. But also, who cares?
Lunch is usually a salad or a sandwich. If I'm on set, I'll have catering, but I'm well behaved with that stuff. It's easy to go crazy - they know how to feed you.
