Christie Brinkley's daughter, Sailor Brinkley Cook, opened up about the advice from her mother that has shaped her modeling career.

Sailor, who began modeling as a teenager, often accompanied her mother to shoots and was featured in Teen Vogue.The former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant told Fox News Digital what it was like following in her mother's footsteps. "I think the biggest piece of advice that she gave me is to, first of all, be as kind as humanly possible to everyone around me that I'm working with," Sailor said. "And that's something I really try and stay strong on, even if I'm in a bad mood or anything like that." Sailor, who is currently working with Silk Nextmilk, continued, "That's sort of the biggest piece of advice that I think makes the best mark on anything that I'm doing and on the world that I live in and on the career that I have, [it] is just being sure that I maintain a reputation where people feel safe and comfortable and loved and happy around me and appreciated." Christie rose to prominence as a model in the 1970s.

She posed for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and landed three consecutive cover shoots in 1979, 1980 and 1981. Sailor told Fox News Digital that despite the "pressure" she felt when she was younger, her mother has been an inspiration to her. "I think I definitely felt the pressure when I was younger and there [were] a lot of expectations.

But I think now it's a really beautiful thing to be able to reflect upon my mom's career, and she's really inspirational to me," Sailor said.
