I didn't know anything about fashion. I couldn't believe it when I got here. I don't know how I'm sitting here right now speaking English.

I'm from San Salvador. It is small compared to Sao Paolo. We are really slow there. People work half a day and then go to the beach. People have time.

If one day I have a daughter and my daughter wants to be a model, I would never let her!

My best moment was taking the plane when I came to New York. My family was really poor, and we would never have had the money to take a plane.

When I get older, I don't think I'll like to have wrinkles, or a big jelly belly. I cannot have it.

You don't have to have an attitude if you're famous.
