I felt like my pregnancy was a sacred moment for me. I stayed in Boston and I didn't work apart from the contracts I have, and then I only let them use my face.

When I came to New York and I opened the window of the thirty-fifth-floor apartment, there's light pollution and fog, and I couldn't see my star. So I drew it on my wrist with a pen, but it kept washing away. Then I went to a tattoo parlor on Second Avenue and had it done.

I think it's better when you're natural, when you just do whatever you want, instead of doing classes where I see all these other people holding back because they've been trained with certain skills or techniques. I'm like, whatever.

It was like two different photographers, and shot in three different locations and it was really fun to do. There were 12 beautiful girls in it. It was great.

I never really thought about being an actress or being anything like that. I was always a bit scared as well because of the thing about models becoming an actress and all that.

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

I'm very interested in charities. I help a lot of different charities.

I don't wear fur and I understand their cause. I am the biggest animal lover in the world. I have four dogs and two horses, and I have rescued animals all my life.

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.

It was my first scene. My first day. We could have started with me drinking a beer, something a little less than having Barbies touching each other. But they started with that.

I believe in feeling connected. Love is something that grows, that comes from nourishment; it builds. But there is a great feeling that happens, that is telling you, I don't want to leave this room!

I'm a workaholic. I've been doing my job for a long time.

I felt like my pregnancy was a sacred moment for me. I stayed in Boston and I didn't work apart from the contracts I have, and then I only let them use my face.

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.

If you have your wife, and you are proud of something she's done, wouldn't you go and support her in something? That is what I was trying to do.

I'm not an actress, you know. I don't know what's going on. And I'm supposed to be the villain.

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

I cannot put this poison on my skin. I do not use anything synthetic.

I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds.

There is good in everything; it's just how you choose to look at it. Everything that's worth it has a price. For me to be a model - I had to leave my family. Do you think I liked that? No! There are sacrifices. Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.

I feel grateful because I have a lot of love in my life. I found the person I'm sharing my life with. I have a good man.

A woman can look powerful in a party, but when she arrives at home, all she wants is to feel comfortable.

Always, always powder your T-zone and the lines going from your nose down around your mouth so you don't look like a bulldog. When those areas are shiny, it's awful. And gloss will keep your lips from appearing dehydrated.

As consumers, we need to demand that companies sell us sustainable products that do not disregard and destroy our natural world.

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

Because I had my family, I felt like I could be a bird and fly and experience and do. Because I had roots somewhere, I knew that they would love me no matter what, and I could always go back home and they were going to love me.

Brazil has its own fashion identity. Many very talented Brazilian designers show every season at Sao Paulo and Rio fashion weeks.

Children are like little angels - there's no way you can't love them.

Christmas and the holidays are the season of giving. It's a time when people are more kind and open-hearted.

Everybody learns from traveling. I think we all do.

Everyone has an hour in their day to go and do something for somebody else; I don't care how busy they are.

For me the end of the year is always a time to reflect and recharge my energies.

For too long, the world has been focused on short-term growth and development at the expense of our long-term survival as we have depleted our natural resources at historically reckless rates.

Gossip is poison.

Having the strength to tune out negativity and remain focused on what I want gives me the will and confidence to achieve my goals.

I always knew that, even if I was not the most beautiful girl, I'd be the most energetic and hard-working. If you want to know the truth, that's the reason for my success.

I am a huge fan of big cotton underpants; they're comfortable. I wear them every day.

I am not the first person to give birth naturally. Billions of other women have come before me and have done this - so why can't I do it?

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.

I believe that bringing a life into this world is the single most important thing a person can undertake, and it can also be the most challenging. I think as mothers we are all just trying our best.

I don't like to focus on things that don't make me happy and that I can't change. I'd rather try my best to learn from it and move on.

I don't think anyone likes to see a picture of themselves in a tabloid, besides a couple people who I'm not going to mention. I'm definitely not one of those people.

I feel like when people judge me they're not judging me, because they don't know who I am.

I feel privileged to be a U.N. ambassador. It gives me an opportunity to use my voice to help raise awareness about important social and environmental issues.

I have a lot of fruit trees and my own little vegetable garden and chickens. And every time I eat, I bless my food; I say I'm grateful for for it and let it nourish every part of my body.

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

I love outdoor sports, like volleyball, and I play them whenever I can.

I love that feeling of, you know, we are women, we are so different, our imperfections are what make us unique and beautiful.

I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals.
