Sara Sampaio

“It comes down to balance when consuming food - I'll eat burgers, pizza, candy, and then I'll balance it out with fruit, salad, fish... and of course I work out.”

“I'm pretty comfortable stripping down to my underwear, as long as there's respect around me.”

“I don't have a lot of curves, and I'm very skinny, so I always feel like I have to fake my curves a little bit.”

“Being in shape is part of my job, so I try to work out twice a week.”

“I hate being barefoot.”

“When posing in lingerie, I suck everything in and pop my hip out a little bit. If you lie on your side and draw one knee in a bit, it makes you look more curvalicious.”

“When it comes to beauty, I feel that hanging with people you love, laughing, and doing silly things gets your spirits up. We are always prettier when we are happier.”

“I grew up with a Mediterranean diet, so I like clean, simple food. But if there's pizza on a menu, I always end up ordering it. I can't resist it.”

“I'm going to be a very bad Portuguese right now - I'm actually not a fan of pastel de natas. I'm just not a fan of cream.”

“I'd definitely love to be a spokesperson for a major beauty brand.”

“I try to cook more now so I can control my diet and what I ingest.”

“You can't spend three hours at a gym and then go eat everything.”

“I'm obsessed with great white sharks. And I want to dive into the coral of the Great Barrier Reef.”

“Dealing with negative comments is part of this job, and I've had to develop a thick skin, though some days it's easier than others.”

“I really don't think we should label models as 'plus' or 'runway.'”

“I don't have any rules about what to wear when I go out. I go through phases. Sometimes I'll go out in jeans and a top and not even wear heels. Sometimes I want to be more sexy, in a dress and heels.”

“I've always had very high aims for my life and for my career, for anything that I do.”

“You can achieve anything you put your mind and hard work to.”

“It's very important to feel good, but I know it's hard sometimes to look in the mirror.”

“I moisturise a lot. I use Victoria Secret's hydrating body lotion.”
