I have a paralyzing fear of snakes.

After my first 'Sports Illustrated' cover, I felt terrible about myself for a solid month. People deal with models like they are children. They think they can pull one over on you. I'm not a toy; I'm a human. I'm not here to be used.

I'm actually an equestrian, and I showed in the American Paint Horse Association and competed for top 20 in the nation.

So if I get pegged as a bikini girl, that's fine, and that can still translate into acting or other areas. But, no, I don't wanna be doing bikini shoots my whole life.

My mom played every sport possible. My dad is 'extremely' competitive. You can't even play Ping-Pong with him.

My mom is from Texas, but I was raised in Florida.
