I am recording my first CD in Spanish and preparing myself for the next stage of my career.

BUT, in terms of attractiveness, speaking in terms of physical aspects only I think that Argentinean, Italian, Mexican, and Spanish men are among the most attractive men.

Beauty is only temporary, but your mind lasts you a lifetime.

I think being beautiful is only one aspect of your life.

Women are a little more assertive in terms of our ability to express our feelings when we fall in love.

Every day I am trying to improve my life.

I know that people will remember me as Miss Universe because it was my first great achievement, but I still have my whole career ahead of me.

Well that's actually happened to me a couple of times... but I really think that men, when it comes to falling in love, are less... I guess you could say less aggressive.

If people are jumping down people's throats all the time, in the end, they'll just shrivel up like a flower shrivels up that's not watered.

What the thinker thinks, the prover proves.

Fear is the foe of the faddist, but the friend of the fundamentalist.

It is better to have a plain, substantial building, with no extravagance about it, but without a debt, than to have the most splendid specimen of Gothic architecture that is overlaid by a mortgage.

Mend when thou canst; be better at thy leisure.
