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.

From Emily Ratajkowski

One thing that I can say is that I think it's important that there's some sort of celebration of beautiful women that isn't just exploitive.

From Emily Ratajkowski

I like to be asked about the projects I'm working on. I like to be asked about the books I'm reading, the things I'm interested in, what's exciting me right now, or even politics. Sometimes that's fun.

From Emily Ratajkowski

I think always what happens when you ask men questions on the red carpet, it's always based on what projects they're working on, whatever they're about, rather than this, 'Give us little tips for all of us women'... because we're all the same. Questions should just be more individual.

From Emily Ratajkowski

I feel like it's always about how this girl stays thin, or what one girl is doing to another, and it shouldn't be that way.

From Emily Ratajkowski

Female empowerment is always something that I've felt. It's not about just being a model; it's about women in general.

From Emily Ratajkowski

People will say, 'How do I get abs like you?' I don't know. We're all different. If my girlfriend did what I did, hiking and yoga for a workout, it would affect her body in a different way. That's the message that I really want to get out there. I'm trying to counteract that culture.
