Alessandra Ambrosio

“I think I'm in better shape now than I was 10 years ago, but it takes a bigger toll - I get back pain!”

“As long as you're feeling good with your weight and the way you look, that's what matters.”

“You know, I have a kid on my own, and I know how busy it is, the first weeks and the first month.”

“I've been a fashion model for 15 years and designing is just an extension of my career. I still plan on modeling lingerie, but at the same time this is a business transition that I plan to have around for a long time.”

“I've seen Bruno Mars before, he's amazing.”

“I don't really drink sodas, but when I have popcorn or pizza I need a little. It's the perfect combination.”

“Before, models had that rock star life and it was all about going to the parties and having that glamorous life, and I think these days, models are more like businesswomen and the whole industry takes it really serious.”

“Professional people make everything look perfect, they make everything that you're wearing look great, if it's in a picture or on the runway.”

“I have been lucky enough to work with the world's best designers and top stylists - who have been my mentors.”

“In the summer I wear shorts with a bright top and ankle boots or just sandals. I'll add a nice scarf, maybe a hat, some cool sunglasses. It's all about the accessories.”

“I'm not thinking about me that much anymore. Every time I look, I'm looking for my daughter, you know? If I'm in a store, I'm looking at baby clothes. It's so much cuter to find things for her than to find things for me.”

“I love Cheetos, those hot, spicy kind. And chocolate. Every time I'm in the airport I'm buying Cheetos and eating them on the airplane.”

“My favourite part... I guess it's my legs.”

“One of my favorite beauty products is Vincent Longo Water Canvas creamy blush. I have it in every color and I've been using it for 5 years and that's all I put on when I leave the house. It looks so natural I just put a little bit on my cheeks to give them some color.”

“I have a Brazilian trainer here in New York and we do a Brazilian Butt Lift workout.”

“I've been tiny since I was four, and I eat whatever I want.”

“Seriously, I like to wear hats so I don't get super tan. You have to protect the face.”

“Russell James asked me to shoot underwater. He tied my feet under the water. I don't know how many feet - maybe five, six meters. He tied me underwater and I had no air. Somebody had a tube, and they were giving me some oxygen, but I couldn't really see anything. Everything was blurry. I'm waiting for the oxygen - that was the craziest thing.”

“I love everybody that I work with, and we have so much fun.”

“The designers usually don't like to say until we're on the runway. Like when I did Prada last year, I couldn't mention doing Prada or even Tweet or take a picture and put it on Twitter saying I was backstage at the Prada show. And Dolce was the same thing. They like to keep a little surprise, I guess, a little secret for everybody.”
