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!
Here in the big city people spend their time thinking about work and about money; they don't give some value to friendships and it can be depressing.
If you look around Brazil you see pregnant women everywhere. Here you don't see that as much. There the only thing they do is babies, babies, babies! Especially the poor families.
I eat a balanced diet. The secret is to watch your portions, but I also work out a lot. Working out a lot isn't necessary, but I am very active, and my body can endure intense workouts.
I think everyone is a little egocentric, but when I help someone I lose 0.01% of my ego.
I'm a teenager, but I'm independent - I have my own apartment, I have my own life. And I think I have learned more than any of those teenagers have in school. I learned to be responsible, leaving my family and coming here alone.
I think I live inside the plane! I never have time to unpack; I'm always leaving in two days again. I travel a lot, and at the beginning it was really fun. The first time I went inside a plane, I was 15 years old and I had so much fun. I like to travel all over the world and learn [about] new cultures. Not that many people have the opportunity to do that.
