I was a ballet dancer growing up and that's what I was convinced I would be.

I was always interested in fashion and beauty. I was fifteen when I was scouted in a flea market. Two years later, I arrived in New York. I was in awe because it was like another planet.

It's been amazing how this crazy career has been created. I feel that it's been given to me. I wouldn't be anywhere without Victoria's Secret.

I get skinnier if I'm very busy.

At school I got teased because I was so thin and awkward-looking. But the girls on TV looked similar to me. I would say to my mum, 'The girls at school are teasing me, but I look like those girls on TV.'

If I'm on holiday, I'm active on the beach, I play tennis, I run, I swim a lot. It's just about making the workouts fun, I think, and then it doesn't really feel that bad.

I feel if I'm healthy and happy, I look good. With a good mixture of fitness and healthy food I always feel great!

A relationship is like another job, you know, you have to work at it all the time.

I'm crazy about jewelry; swimwear and jewelry.

Being confident in your own skin is very sexy. I think when you have fun and are yourself that is sexy too.

I'd love to be a pop star - at heart.
