“I didn’t know anything about fashion. I couldn’t believe it when I got here.”

Be sure what you want and be sure about yourself.

I would like just one time to be on the cover of Italian Vogue.

I believe love just happens once. You can be mistaken, you can think you are in love.

Unexpected romantic gestures are very important and keep things exciting.

I also want [my kids] to always feel confident and free to be themselves.

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.

You have to believe in yourself and be strong.

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 like to go to the movies or read.

Modeling is a tough job, your co-workers are your rivals.

And I think I have learned more than any of those teenagers have in school.

Fashion is about good energy. It’s about feelings.

Don’t try to be what you’re not. If you’re nervous, be nervous. If you’re shy, be shy. It’s cute.

If you look around Brazil you see pregnant women everywhere.

I like jealous men. I love jealousy. I do.

We [me and my husban] like to honor both of our family traditions whenever possible.

I don’t care about making anything new. I make music to express an emotion, and if the emotion is nostalgic, so be it.

I can’t do anything in moderation.

If love means anything at all it means extending your hand to the unlovable.

When asked, ‘Shall I tell my mother I’m gay?’, I reply, ‘Never tell your mother anything.

The first rule of making progress in anything you do is setting goals, allowing yourself to always have a finish line in sight. This provides a boost in motivation during those moments when slogging forward seems impossible, giving you something tangible to work towards at every moment.

More than anything else, I’d like to be an old man with a good face, like Hitchcock or Picasso.

If you grow yourself to become a successful person, in strength of character and mind, you will naturally be successful in anything and everything you do.

If you would test the character of anything, you only need to enquire whether that thing leads you to God or away from God.
