I've never been a size 0.

I love ice cream, and I love chocolate.

I have a really hard time finding good denim.

Being engaged is absolutely a time to cherish!

I'm like half Brazilian and half American now.

Vida's definitely a beautiful and peaceful girl.

I don't like exercising; I'll be honest with you.

The Fourth of July should be celebrated with big hearts.

We're like a travelling circus... We're always on the go.

It's a myth that you have to wash your hair all the time.

I wash my hair once or twice a week to keep the natural oils.

You need to let your hair produce its own oils and be healthy.

I was never the girl who tore pictures out of wedding magazines.

I'm continuing to do what I can to empower and inspire other women.

I'm still learning how to do things - like lining my eyes? Forget it.

We are all going to die one day. Everything else, my friend, I am not sure.

I think the only time that I worry about looking good is on the red carpet.

We are all so busy and constantly trying to save time and balance everything.

If you think about it, all of us have one or more teachers who were instrumental.

I love Austin for vintage shopping, and there are some really good places in L.A., too.

I feel vulnerable in a good way. When I talk about my family, I usually have happy tears.

I have a hard time finding high boots that go up to your knee, because of the shape of my calves.

Life is not supposed to be easy. Stop working so hard to make it that way. Go ahead and handle it!

This shared love of cooking and celebration has allowed me to create a strong bond with my family.

The main thing for me is to make sure our home is peaceful, that it's healthy, that the kids are good.

The way we do music in Brazil is very different because we are so moved by music; we grow up with that.

I just throw on foundation and under-eye concealer, then dust bronzer on my cheeks so they look defined.

I love having my daughter in the kitchen with me as I prepare meals. We talk about anything and everything!

I like to keep Valentine's dinner light so you don't crash after and can keep the fun going through the night!

When I lived in Greece and off the coast of Italy, I enjoyed a branzino dish so much that I created my own version.

I was never the girl that grew up saying I want to get married. I actually told my parents to not expect me to get married.

I come from a simple background, so I couldn't call my father and say, 'Come pay my bills,' so I had to get out there and work.

I enjoy celebrating Valentine's Day. It's a nice way to say you're thinking about your family, someone special, or dear friends.

I love wearing my hair curly, but turning the curling iron all the way up creates curls that look really made up and artificial.

One of my favorite memories from growing up in Brazil is being in the kitchen with my family and watching everyone bake and cook.

Easter is one of my favorite holidays with the kids. They get to run loose, and we always have our family and loved ones all around us!

I never understood when people go, 'Oh my gosh, it's so easy being pregnant.' No, it's hard. It's the most beautiful thing, yes, but it's hard.

Before a shoot, I'll watch what I eat. During the shoot, I watch what I eat. Afterwards, the first thing I do is go have a steak and French fries.

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 like a little bit of a rough look because it's sexy. But when a man has a rough look, and he goes and gets a cleanup, then it's very sexy as well.

I have vintage things that I got nine, 10 years ago, and every time I clean my closet, I can't get rid of them. I think, 'I will never find this again!'

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 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.

I'm a mother of three. I don't really have the time to put very elaborate outfits together, so I keep it casual but dress it up with shoes, a bag, and jewellery.

Growing up eating fruits and vegetables fresh from our farm added a lot to the way I taste and look at food today, and I wanted the same for my kids and other kids.

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.

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.

My kids love going to school. When my son started going to kindergarten, we asked him, 'How was it?' and his only complaint was that he didn't get to stay in there longer.

A lot of times, drama around it is not for the worse but for the best in the long run. If we look at it that way, I have learned to find the best of it in most situations.

When I had my first child, I started to try and make fresh food for him daily, and I became frustrated with the amount of work - and time - involved in making baby food at home.
