I believe destiny and hard work go hand in hand.

I'm very practical as a person as well, and I think that's where I get confidence from. As impulsive and spontaneous as I am, I'm still very practical. I always have been. I work out my pros and cons, and then I make an informed decision on whether I should do something or not. I really believe if you're going to do something, you have to do it 100 percent; otherwise it's better not to do it.

As a girl, I am this stupid, emotional, very loyal, sort of believe-in-values-and-principals sort of girl.

I live with romance in my brain. I'm a true-blue Cancerian like that.

I always advocate to young women that if we don't do this for ourselves, no one else is going to. We have to have a voice.

Women are often told to have to be a certain way, to speak a certain way. The "norm" has been defined for many, many years, so it is very scary, especially for girls around the world who don't have the freedom and the opportunity to have a voice.

For me exotic means beaches, palm trees and sand and frolicking in the ocean
