Braveness, for me, is running into my basement with no socks on. There are huge spiders down there!
Quote by -Coco Rocha
Personally, even though I have a great PR team, no one except my husband and I touch any of my 10 social media accounts. It's a lot of work, but I know that my brand, my image, and my voice are authentic to me.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
Be current. Know and comment on current trends and news. Don't be the last one entering a conversation.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
Don't have just anyone run your social media. I think it's insane when brands or celebrities relegate their social media to an intern or someone who does not know them well.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
I don't think it's fair for people to put fellow beings down just because they're only known for their looks.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
I hate when people say models don't have personalities; what does that even mean? Everyone has a personality.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
It's hard sometimes because people don't take a model seriously in any sense. Unless she's taking a photo, that's as good as she is.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
One of my favorite poses was when working with Steven Meisel. It was one of my first photo shoots with him, and we were trying to get the cover of Italian 'Vogue.' Then, I literally took my Balenciaga hat, pulled it down, and gave a rolling-eye, 'ugh' face, crossed legs on the floor. And lo and behold, that was the cover of Italian 'Vogue.'
Quote by -Coco Rocha
As a model, we come in the room, and we are casted just on our looks. I think I'm funny; I think I'm clever. But in the end, they're picking me for my cheekbones or if I'm tall enough.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
You can definitely notice a girl who has confidence versus one who's thinking, 'How are they judging me?'
Quote by -Coco Rocha
A lot of people might think the job of a model isn't necessary anymore, but just like an actor, singer - how they make you feel a certain way - how watching a dancer gives you emotion, models can do the exact same thing to many different people.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
So many girls second-think their pose or what they're doing. And, in turn, the photos will come out really unnatural. I say to really give the camera a performance - that, and make sure you're comfortable with how you look, and give it a good smile and a filter.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
Whatever you do, never do the duck face - that's the worst look for any girl out there. Some girls think that pushing out their lips looks fabulous, but it doesn't.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
When I first started modeling, I had the chance to walk the runway with Naomi passing by me, but I didn't know anything about supermodels. But when I saw her backstage, she complimented me on my walk, and I thought she was so nice - everyone was freaking out that I didn't know who she was.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
When you wear something different, you have to be confident that not everyone may get it at first.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
I was always excited by the idea of having my own company, but models are rarely serious when they venture off into something else, be it acting, singing, or starting their own business.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
My mom's half-Irish, and my dad's half-Irish. We don't know much about my mom's side, but my dad's mom came from Belfast and married my grandfather, who was from Wales.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
It's especially important to make sure all clients are happy. You don't want to get stuck into a corner and for people to think you now only have one look.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
I find it funny to look at people who are people-watching, and, don't get me wrong, I like to people-watch, too. But it's an interesting thing when people on the street just stop and ask you, 'Are you Coco? Can I take a photo of you?'
Quote by -Coco Rocha
Don't get me wrong: 'America's Next Top Model' is fantastic. They've done 20 seasons, so they've obviously done something right. But I think what ensures that the winner of 'The Face' will become a working model is the prize - a year-long contract with a cosmetics company is huge.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
I love Africa, especially Botswana. I could see myself retiring to a little tree house there one day.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
My wedding dress is a piece of art that I'll treasure forever. It was designed and created by Zac Posen. I gave him only the tiniest bit of direction when he started, and the end product was more beautiful than anything I could have imagined.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
Jean Paul Gaultier is not only immensely talented but also a genuinely sweet and kind person.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
I think balancing work and family takes constant adjustment. Its not something you can say you've accomplished and move on.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
For me, anytime I see a mother truly loving her child, famous or not, it brings a smile to my face. I think most people would agree.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
Oftentimes, my career as a model is based around glamour or creating a fantasy world. That in itself is not a bad thing, as I think art and inspiration has its place in society.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
You always wonder when you get pregnant what projects and opportunities will come in or come knocking.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
When someone tells me that I'm not real, I say to them, 'Well, what about me isn't real?' I have not changed my figure. This is who I am.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
When I was asked to be a part of 'The Face,' I was like, 'This is exactly what I do without cameras.' I didn't find it any different than what I usually do for young girls - giving runway tips or just explaining how the whole industry works - but now you have, like, 19 cameras on you, documenting you while you scratch your nose.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
We get all excited about collaborations. You get excited to hear that Rihanna has something, because Rihanna is a singer, and she has amazing fashion. You want to see what she would create. I don't get upset and think, 'Someone else is going to do better than me.' You're like, 'Oh, good for her.'
Quote by -Coco Rocha
I hate when people say, 'Well, this is unfair for the underdog.' Well, the underdog should try harder.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
If you are a new, upcoming designer, you've got to think of new, cool ways to make the industry look at you. Don't just get stuck in a rut, show your clothes, and be like, 'You should like this.'
Quote by -Coco Rocha
I'm kind of getting over the whole Manhattan life. I'm from Vancouver, and that means mountains and a lot of space.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
In the beginning, the clients would say, 'This is too much,' but over time, the ones I liked kept working with me. They'd say, 'It's not too much. Coco can still be Coco. She still gives 100 percent when she's on a photo shoot.'
Quote by -Coco Rocha
Usually, a model gets two to three seasons, or a year and a half, and that's it - you're done. For me, it will be 10 years.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
People who rooted for me and were impactful in my career knew everything about me. They knew my goals, my likes, my dislikes, what I wanted out of my career.
Quote by -Coco Rocha
I'll probably always have some black in my accessories, but it's also important to have a pop of color.
