The 28-year-old model - who recently sparked speculation she has rekindled her romance with Bad Bunny - has always admired supermodel Christy Turlington and her approach to her career and hopes to follow in her footsteps by making sure her personal life stays a priority.
Kendall told Vogue magazine: "I spent a lot of time looking at her face as a kid. She seemed so calm and collected. I really appreciated her energy through it all. And it feels like life outside modelling and family were really important to her.
"Relationships mean so much to me, and I can't wait to have a life with someone one day, to have kids, to create a family. Christy just gives good vibes. Maybe she cared a little bit less! I think that's really cool."
Kendall is the only one of Kris Jenner's daughterswho doesn't live within walking distance of their mother's house and though she didn't intend to separate herself, she enjoys her "freedom", though she expects to move closer to her family when she settles down.
She said: "I always am [creating boundaries]. Even as a kid, I always have been.
"There are days when I look at what they have and think, 'That's really special'. I do like being a little bit removed, but one day I'll make my way, probably.
"When I was young I used to say that by 27 I'd love to have kids. Now I'm past that and I feel like I'm still so young. I'm enjoying my kidless freedom."
The brunette beauty has grown up with reality TV cameras in her home but the 'Kardashians' star still doesn't feel at ease on the family reality show.
She admitted: "It's not my biggest cup of tea. And to be honest, I've never been very comfortable filming. I just feel I'm not good at it."
Despite sharing the limelight with her family, Kendall insisted she has never been competitive with half-sisters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian or youngest sibling Kylie Jenner.
She said: "Growing up with sisters, you would think it would be the opposite.
"Even with my little sister—the biggest thing we would fight over was the TV remote. There was never that who's-better-dressed, who's-prettier thing. It was always: You're you, I'm me.
" I've never thought of my career as a competition, and that's thanks to awesome sisters. I really do me, and if you don't like it, that's okay. But I trust that me being the most authentic version of myself will get me to the places it needs to get me".
