I love challenges, I love intensity, and I also like to challenge my mind. Believe it or not, boxing is not only about physical force. You use a lot of concentration; it's really mental.
I love old-fashioned manners, as long as it's not forced. I can tell when it's natural or when someone is just trying to impress me.
If you're nervous, that means you care and you want to give your best.
From my hair to my toes to my nails. Everything's fake. Everything! Even my heart is fake.
I remember Tyra Banks giving me encouraging advice during my first Victoria's Secret commercial shoot. I was so nervous, and she told me to just relax and be confident - that made me feel very comfortable.
It's wrong for a guy to have no personality, no heart. Because I don't care about style or money.
I missed out on everything. Sometimes on the street I see teenagers hanging out and going to the movies, going to concerts, and I get so jealous.
I like to go to the movies or read.
You don't have to have an attitude if you're famous.
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.
