My love of fashion stemmed from my mother's passion for it.

My resolution is to make positivity, thankfulness and happiness my new mantra.

People don't really go to museums in Rio. I shouldn't say it's not sophisticated, but, you know, they go to the beach.

I do go back to Brazil once a year. I miss my family.

Brazil is not what you see but what you feel. Once you spend time here - a week, two weeks - you get in the vibe. It's really intoxicating.

I could never before say that I loved color or that I understood color. But Oscar de la Renta opened up a side of my brain.

I never liked sleeping; I always think I am missing something.
