A man needs to be polite, not just to me but to everyone. I watch that. How does he treat the waiter? How does he treat the coat-check girl? How does he treat the driver?
I wouldn't say it's competitive. I think everyone has their time. Gisele is having her time, and Shirley had her time, and maybe I will have my time.
My favorite designer is Christian Lacroix, not just because his clothes are amazing and I love them, but because he's so nice. When I did his fashion show, he was the first one to arrive there and he helped everyone
You don't have to have an attitude if you're famous.
It's wrong for a guy to have no personality, no heart. Because I don't care about style or money.
In Brazil, we don't have Victoria's Secret, and my family are all Victoria's Secret fans, so I usually bring them back some lovely pieces.
Actually, I never really thought I would be a model. I never knew a lot about fashion and magazines, and I never paid attention to it. I was a young girl, though.
I try to work out as much as I can and, of course, eat healthily. Drinking a lot of water, sweating during your work out is good for you, and of course, chasing after your kids!
I love my job and I love my children. It's really about figuring out your schedules and getting everything down that you need to do and sticking to your plan.
I'm not going to fly a million miles with somebody I don't know.
From my hair to my toes to my nails. Everything's fake. Everything! Even my heart is fake.
If you're nervous, that means you care and you want to give your best.
I love old-fashioned manners, as long as it's not forced. I can tell when it's natural or when someone is just trying to impress me.
Coconut water is just the best for you; it's always something we had in Brazil. Since I was a little girl, I've been drinking it.
