Quotes

Because of my name and my look, it's sometimes: 'Wow, I expected broken English or a British accent.'

The attention from the fashion world is something that I didn't expect. I've shot with Bruce Weber and met Karl Lagerfeld. Having that kind of attention is really exciting.

Nudity isn't something people should take offense to.

I'm a complete foodie, but I'm a terrible cook. If a guy can get me in the kitchen and we actually have fun cooking, that's amazing.

I'm more of a Smithwick's or Bulmer's girl than a pint of Guinness.

I absolutely love Ireland. It's one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and I have strong ties here. Both my grandmothers are from Ireland, and I have spent every summer in Bantry since my father, who is an artist, had the romantic idea 20 years ago to buy an old farmhouse on the west coast and renovate it.

I'm a big fan of the Irish accent. After a couple of drinks, I start to get a bit of an Irish lilt, too.

I started modeling when I was - not older, but not 12. I have a mom who's a feminist - she's an English professor, an intellectual. She really gave me the equipment to understand that you can celebrate yourself without putting yourself down or needing to apologize for the way you look. I think that attitude is really crucial for a model.

I have great childhood memories cow-tipping, going off and getting lost in the bog for hours, and coming home covered in dirt.

[posing and acting nude] Shooting in the nude is normal, I mean, I don't know I think you get used to it and if you have a good team around you and everyone making you feel comfortable, that's all that matters.

[auditions] I felt like a piece of meat who people were judging, saying, does she have anything else other than her breasts?

[child custody battle] I'm learning that outspoken women don't often get their children.

[blaming women] I hate the idea that because, like, Sydney Sweeney posts sexy pictures and has a bikini line that she is somehow hurting women. Can we stop blaming Sydney Sweeney? Or the woman who had an affair with Adam Levine who everyone was so mad at instead of him? When the power dynamic in the world is so skewed, why are we putting all this weight on women?

[rude comments about her nude/sexy photos] When I post a selfie and someone comments, "Oh, sure, go ahead and reclaim your sexuality, I got my rocks off," that's not my problem.

[men desiring women] That's something we really forget in this world, especially in my industry and being in the public eye as a female. There's this idea that if a man enjoys a photograph of a nude woman or if he likes your short skirt, he's taking something away from her. It's not right. Sex is normal. Desire is normal. Attention is normal, and that's okay.

[wanting nudity to be more normalized in the U.S.] Go to Europe. Travel. If you spend any time there you notice it right away - their comfort level is different.... You see it on the beaches, daughters with their mothers. It's not a big deal to see your mom naked. It's actually quite normal.
