- I was so shy, everyone thought I was a mute. I'm enjoying everything more now. I'm letting myself have fun. I'm more mature, more comfortable with myself and I think it make a big difference.
- I never wanted to be a model. I was a real tomboy, so it was never about me wanting to be beautiful and have my picture taken. I just had a dream to help my family because I saw how hard they worked for money.
