Kate Upton is one of the world’s most renowned swimsuit models, but she said it’s not the praise that drives her.
It’s the negativity.
Upton was one of five selected to be in this month’s issue of Marie Claire magazine, and in her accompanying interview, the 22-year-old talked about what drives her to succeed.
“Anytime there’s doubt or someone says I can’t do something. I always accomplish it. Haters and doubters are very, very good motivation,” the busty blonde said.
Upton was recently named the “Sexiest Woman Alive” by People magazine, and she said her favorite reaction to the title was the one from her parents.
“My parents were pretty funny about it. They told me, ‘We went out to dinner and dressed a little nicer because our daughter is the Sexiest Woman Alive.” (RELATED: Here’s How Kate Upton Celebrated Easter)
