Be more loving, compassionate and understanding with ourselves, with others, and with the planet, because we are all connected. We are one.

In 1996, the possibility of going to New York came up. From then on, I started searching for opportunities on the international market and the plane became my home.

I was in the fashion shows in Milan; I was seventeen, I was doing like 100 shows. People were asking, 'How does it feel to be the model of the moment?' It was hard for me to answer as myself. I barely spoke English.

Climate change is real. In order to alter this reality, we need all hands on deck.

I'm a very sensitive person, and I feel what makes me vulnerable. But I see that as a good thing. I really enjoy experiencing all the different emotions in life.

I was somebody who was 14 years old and who got an opportunity to do a job where I could make money, and, most important, to go to school and to help my family financially. And luckily I was successful in my job, thank God. And there were a lot of people my age who didn't have that freedom I had and I'm grateful.

I don't like parties. I prefer something more intimate, just for the closest people.
