I love kids. It's amazing that I have the opportunity to hang out with my stepson all the time.

I don't like Paris so much, and it's only eight shows. I mean, don't tell them that, of course. But everyone always thinks they're so important. And I'm sure they are. But to me, my happiness is more important.

Love is something that grows, that comes from nourishment; it builds.

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.

You know, everyone says, 'Modeling and acting are so similar'... they say, 'It's so natural for models to become actresses because they use the camera.' I don't think of it in that way.

There's a button that goes On and I'm On. And when I go On, there is almost no me; there is just a character who is doing all this.

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.
