Heidi Klum graces the June 2008 cover of Marie Claire magazine.
Here are some highlights from the Interview..
- On having a big family: "I always wanted to be a mom. At Thanksgiving, I have my parents there, I have screaming kids, I have a big fat turkey—18 pounds—sitting in the middle; legs are being ripped off that thing, you know what I mean? There's life in the house. I don't want to be wondering about how skinny I am, wondering what I'm going to eat because I don't want to gain and I want to look hot and young, always and forever."
- On Project Runway: "We're in this dark, tiny room, and I have 15 people in front of me who are terrified. It's not like, 'Hey, what's up?' You can hear a mouse fart in that room."
- On losing baby weight: "I always think, Look at how people were before they were pregnant. If you were a toned, healthy, energetic person, most likely you will be like that again. A lot of people come to me, and they're like, 'Will I look like you after I have a baby?' And I say, 'Well, how were you before?' You can't kid yourself."
- On Seal's proposal in the Canadian Rockies: "He took me by helicopter. He had an igloo built there, and they'd brought up everything: a bed with sheets inside the igloo, rose petals everywhere, candles. Very, very romantic! There was food and champagne, and then the helicopter left. It was a little scary, too, because you're so cut off from the world. No trees, nothing—it was hard-core. But I was ecstatic. I loved it. It was wonderful."
- On starting a family early: "Some people are afraid, especially in this industry, that if you are out of it, it'll be hard to get back in it. I didn't care. I thought, It's my life, not yours. I was ready to take the chance and not get back into it if they decided they didn't want me anymore."
- On the modeling industry: "When I started, Kate Moss was the hottest thing. It was not about being proud and upright with the smile glowing — a powerful woman. It was more about being a crushed, crumbled person in the corner; the beaten-down girl looking a little sad and tired."
