I believe love just happens once. You can be mistaken, you can think you are in love, but after a while you discover that you're really not. Real love is different.

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.

When I get older, I don't think I'll like to have wrinkles, or a big jelly belly. I cannot have it.

Younger guys are just too jealous.

I like to go to the movies or read.

Modeling is a tough job, your co-workers are your rivals, it really puts a damper on your perspective of other girls.

Fashion is about good energy. It's about feelings. That's what I have to give the people, good energy and good feelings.

I want to be a child doctor. A pediatry... how do you call it, pediatrician? Do I like kids? No, not really.

I care about heart.

If I am not moving I get bored very easily.

I don't like fights. I don't like aggressive people.

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'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 try to work out as much as I can and, of course, eat healthily. Drinking a lot of water, sweating during your work out is good for you, and of course, chasing after your kids!

Lingerie is one of the most important pieces of your wardrobe. You can have a wardrobe malfunction if you don't choose the right thing to wear underneath!

I like presents that a man has spent time on, doing them himself, like a card or anything that is made by hand and from the heart.

Actually, I never really thought I would be a model. I never knew a lot about fashion and magazines, and I never paid attention to it. I was a young girl, though.

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!

I have a great tip - I have a jumping rope in the house, and I just do ten minutes of it whenever I can. You don't need to work out for hours, just ten minutes will do.

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.

I love my job and I love my children. It's really about figuring out your schedules and getting everything down that you need to do and sticking to your plan.

I love cakes. Chocolate and coconut cakes. I love that combination!

If you're having dinner with friends and they're always on the phone or always texting, it's just impolite. Unless it's something important - like someone is in the hospital or something - don't do it.

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.
