What was your reaction to getting into the Swimsuit Issue?
I was very happy and excited! SI is an amazing magazine. It has been around for a while, and it's so great for my career!
In all honesty, is modeling really that hard?
It was harder in the beginning because I was far away from my family, but after a while you get used to it. Now, I love traveling all over the world, and if I wasn't a model, I know it would never be possible for me to visit so many different places, meet so many people and learn so much. Of course, there is a lot of work involved, I always have to sacrifice a lot of things in my life in order to look great all the time, but it is worth it. I love what I do!
At what point in your career do you know you've made it?
Despite having achieved a lot of things in this business and evolved in my career, I still think I have a long way to go. This job for SI was an important step in this process, but I believe there are always new things to learn from this business.
Happiness is...
Being with people that I love and enjoying life as much as I can!
