Adriana Lima

I was so embarrassed about mispronouncing words. I just knew how to smile.

Here in the big city people spend their time thinking about work and about money they don't give some value to friendships and it can be depressing.

I like jealous men. I love jealousy. I do.

I missed out on everything. Sometimes on the street I see teenagers hanging out and going to the movies, going to concerts, and I get so jealous.

I eat a balanced diet. The secret is to watch your portions, but I also work out a lot. Working out a lot isn't necessary, but I am very active, and my body can endure intense workouts.

I'm a teenager, but I'm independent - I have my own apartment, I have my own life. And I think I have learned more than any of those teenagers have in school. I learned to be responsible, leaving my family and coming here alone.

I eat everything I want on Christmas day. I really don't watch what I eat. It's not like you have Christmas every day!

You don't have to have an attitude if you're famous.

Be sure what you want and be sure about yourself. Fashion is not just beauty, it's about good attitude. You have to believe in yourself and be strong.
