The more you trust your intuition, the more empowered you become, the stronger you become, and the happier you become.
Beauty is something inside of us. If you love yourself and accept yourself, that shows on the outside. Beauty is an act-it's how you carry yourself.
If you are happy, you can give happiness. If you don't love yourself and if you are unhappy with yourself, you can't give anything else but that.
I believe in taking chances and living your life. Sometimes doors open and others close and you have to figure out which one you're going to take. I'm always for the one that's challenging.
There is good in everything; it's just how you choose to look at it. Everything that's worth it has a price. For me to be a model - I had to leave my family. Do you think I liked that? No! There are sacrifices. Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.
Be more loving, compassionate and understanding with ourselves, with others, and with the planet, because we are all connected. We are one.
I love that feeling of, you know, we are women, we are so different, our imperfections are what make us unique and beautiful.
I'll never forget the day when a woman came up to me and said, 'No, you could never be on a magazine cover. Your face features don't work; your eyes are small, you have a small face but a big nose.' I was only 14 and I had never noticed any of that stuff, you know?
Some people start modeling because they want to be models and they want the parties and the recognition, and then there are people like me. I come from a simple family, and for me getting into modeling was a chance to make money and create a business.
I believe in the importance of seeking self-knowledge. The more I know myself, the more I feel empowered.
As long as I'm a good person and I do things from the heart, that's all that matters.
Our health depends on the health of our planet.
The first is wake up in the morning and be grateful you are here, alive and healthy. And the second is: Give.
To give life another being, what a gift! When he finally was placed into my arms, I looked into his precious eyes and felt an overwhelming, unconditial love... I never felt so complete and empowered in my life.
I think sometimes you have high expectations for people because you have high expectations for yourself.
I'm a very private person. I like staying home and doing my stuff. I hate people invading on my privacy. I hate talking about my private life.
I believe in feeling connected. Love is something that grows, that comes from nourishment; it builds. But there is a great feeling that happens, that is telling you, I don't want to leave this room!
I'm not afraid of working hard at anything, whatever it is. I just always want to be the best that I can.
I am not used to doing naked shoots but when you trust the photographer and the crew, you know it won't be vulgar.
My husband cannot throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times.
When I walk down the runway, my main goal is to not think about the people watching. The idea of all eyes on me would make me too uncomfortable. As I step on the runway, I take a deep breath, focus on a point in the distance, and go!
This is our world and we need the same things to survive. If I'm making my life better and the circumstances of your life worse, that's terrible because in the end it will affect me, too.
I have to come first, because then everyone benefits.
I'm constantly learning and evolving. I'm fascinated with life.
My two grandmothers both died of cancer, so I understand how painful and difficult this disease is on the entire family. My first grandmother passed away from bone cancer when I was about 10. It was really horrible. I remember the whole process like it was yesterday.
