Gisele quotes from 2004
"I go after things, and I love to live in the extreme". I love extreme sports, I live life to the fullest. I never thought of this movie as the next level of my career - I just thought, I've been doing the same job for 10 years, and this is a new
opportunity. It's not Shakespeare, I'm not telling everyone I'm a serious actress, because that's not who I am. I'm a model! I just enjoy challenges. I wasn't carrying this movie on my shoulders, I was simply the villain. When you try something new like this, it makes you appreciate what you do. Acting made me appreciate my modeling job much more."
"I think beauty is about taste. Some may find me horrendous, and some can find me pretty. In the beginning it was hard. People said, 'Oh, she's too skinny, she's got a big nose.' I don't have one of those plastic surgery noses, I have a German nose, but so what? I have a big personality as well, so that goes with it. I'm definitely not the most beautiful girl in the world."
"I love business. I'd like to work on the licensing I have in Brazil. I just do not want to be one of those people who are 30 years old and suddenly say, 'Oh my God, all I know how to do is modeling.'
