I used to be very shy. When I first started, I had to go to a casting, and I had to go in a bikini. I thought I was too skinny. But I went in and got the job! And that's how I started.
Every work has the bad side, and people will be mean to you, and when you're young, you don't know how to defend yourself.
I wouldn't say it's competitive. I think everyone has their time. Gisele is having her time, and Shirley had her time, and maybe I will have my time.
I love cakes. Chocolate and coconut cakes. I love that combination!
I didn't know anything about fashion. I couldn't believe it when I got here. I don't know how I'm sitting here right now speaking English.
Younger guys are just too jealous
If I am not moving I get bored very easily.
I just think they're really insecure about themselves sometimes. I know all the girls, but we all work a lot and don't have time to hang out together. They're all really nice; I've never had a problem with any model.
I was so embarrassed about mispronouncing words. I just knew how to smile.
I love going to work out now. It gets out aggression and my trainer really shakes it up so I don't get bored.
I eat everything I want on Christmas day. I really don't watch what I eat. It's not like you have # Christmas every day!
Brazilian women are taught to take care of themselves. They start their beauty routine at a young age, which is the key to aging beautifully.
I would like just one time to be on the cover of Italian Vogue.
If one day I have a daughter and my daughter wants to be a model, I would never let her!
