Biography of Brooklyn Decker
I don't play tennis at all.
Tags: TennisI don't see myself doing catalog shoots in Madrid anymore like I was doing two years ago. I hope that the acting side of things grows.
Tags: Acting, Hope, SideI have a really difficult time watching myself on film. I literally cower in my seat and cover my face.
Tags: Difficult, Film, TimeI loved the travel but I didn't love the work. I mean, come on, modelling is only so stimulating!
Tags: Love, Travel, WorkI really missed going to college. I missed not having that education and that experience.
Tags: College, Education, ExperienceI think that I'd like to try to be a superwoman and have kids and work, so we'll see if I can actually accomplish that.
Tags: Kids, Try, WorkI have zero hand-eye coordination - zero - so I've never been good at softball, basketball, golf, things like that, but I'm really strong and I have really good endurance so I can go forever - I'm a tough girl.
Tags: Girl, Good, StrongI would like to say I've achieved goals, but really, modeling is all luck. You're not really achieving anything. The least hardworking person with a special face can be huge and have a whole world of success.
Tags: Special, Success, WholeI'm named after a horse. My mom's best friend had a horse named Brooke, so my dad suggested 'Brooklyn' as a more formal version, and it just stuck - and now I live in Brooklyn part-time, so go figure.
Tags: Best, Dad, MomI'm not going to sit here and say, 'Pity me; I came from modeling.' It's opened a lot of doors. People will take meetings because they've heard the name before. That's an advantage that I have.
Tags: Heard, Here, NameMy parents had us very young. We lived in a modest house. We built forts, we hiked, we went camping and they wanted us to be independent. It's how children grew up in the 1940s and 50s: outside all the time, playing in the dirt, riding your bike around.
Tags: Children, Parents, TimeThe 'Sports Illustrated' cover was the last thing I shot. That week, I told my agent, 'You know what, I really... I don't want to be a model anymore. I really want to do movies.' And I think he wanted to wring my neck at the moment.
Tags: Moment, Movies, SportsWhen you have a gown, there's much more to be concerned about. Where is this crease falling? Are you making a weird shape with the dress? Are you doing the designer justice? With a bathing suit, it's more about you and the mood you convey.
Tags: Justice, Making, WeirdWith my first pay cheque I sent my parents to Jamaica, so they actually got passports! They're pretty grounded; it wasn't until they saw the trailer for 'Battleship' that they were like, 'Ooh, this is a big movie, isn't it?'
