Since I was 8 months old, till I was 12, I did commercials and ads and cute little stuff for kids. Then I had braces on my teeth. They took them off when I was 16, and then I started modeling more seriously and doing more fashion.

As a little girl, I was always shy, but in front of the camera I wasn't.

These 'Sports Illustrated' people, they know how to hold a secret.

I get to travel, see the world, meet people and be independent. I feel blessed.

When you listen to a song, it should make you sit up and wonder, 'Hey, what is this!' or give you an inexplicable feeling of joy or relate beautifully to the music in you.

And of course, pop music is all about memorability and simplicity and positive messages and a little dash of joy.

Happiness is not a luxury. It is a necessity. When we are happy, we are in the best possible place to be good to ourselves and those we love.

You think in a different way when you don't have any money. The joy of poverty is that you use your imagination to come up with stuff.
