My waist used to be tiny. I just saw a picture of Miley Cyrus with a little crop top and low pants, and I'm like, 'That was me growing up in Brazil!' I had the typical model body, but after babies, it changed. I look more like a woman.
I respect marriage, and I think it's beautiful that people do it. But for me, more important than anything is having a peaceful life and a peaceful home.
A lot of people, sometimes they're so stuck on, 'I gotta get married, I gotta get married.' They forget that the really important thing is to have a healthy home, a healthy family, a healthy environment for your kids and to have everything going in a good, peaceful way.
In my 20s, I wanted to be hot; now I want to be healthy.
I think the only time that I worry about looking good is on the red carpet.
We tried every single way of giving birth. It didn't work. I wasn't too crazy about having to do a C-section and take all the drugs. Finally, I just had to be like, 'Let it go.'
Most of my family doesn't speak English. It's so important for the baby. He's going to know all his American roots, but he also needs to know about his Brazilian side.
It was a really big deal to become an American citizen the right way. You have to work really hard, and it is such an honor to be able to say that.
I'm like half Brazilian and half American now.
I wash my hair once or twice a week to keep the natural oils.
The way we do music in Brazil is very different because we are so moved by music; we grow up with that.
My most joy that I have is dancing.
My father always told me, 'Before you become a queen, you have to learn how to take care of your own things.' So I knew how to do all of it, but I had never really done it on a daily basis. So I was cleaning houses, and I started working restaurants.
I've never been a size 0.
I have a really hard time finding good denim.
A lot of the time, you see something really beautiful, but if you don't have the perfect figure and are a really small size, it won't work well for you.
I don't like exercising; I'll be honest with you.
If you think about it, all of us have one or more teachers who were instrumental.
Education is so important.
Education is a way of empowering people; it opens up so many doors and is fundamental to everybody. And teachers are not often appreciated in the way that they should be.
