I grew up on a dairy and beef farm.

I get skinnier if I'm very busy.

My favorite designers are, Chloe, D&G, Christian Louboutin and Marc Jacobs. I change my style from day to day, so I have many favorites.

A lack of knowledge creates fear. Seeking knowledge creates courage.

No one knows anything about the fashion industry in Brazil. They don't care what you do. They just want the beach and the sun and the fun. I feel the freest and the happiest there.

I have always been very comfortable in little clothing; its part of my job.

At school I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me. I would say to my mum, 'The girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV.'
