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.

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 have to come first, because then everyone benefits.

I feel like life is so special and so great, every year I feel like I learn more, and I grow, and I think it's exciting to grow up.

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.

The more you trust your intuition, the more empowered you become, the stronger you become, and the happier you become.

As long as I'm a good person and I do things from the heart, that's all that matters.
