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

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.

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

But as I was saying, from my experiences, I think men tend to be more timid in expressing their feelings for you. Regardless, I always prefer a friendship first and foremost.

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.

Well, I think it's because I'm an only daughter. I have four brothers, a bunch of guy cousins, and so it's like I was raised amongst men. So I've always gotten along really well with men.

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

I would like to continue making music and acting in projects that give me a lot of satisfaction.

I would disapprove of another hospitable man who was excessive in friendship, as of one excessive in hate. In all things balance is better.

Do not hide behind any mask

A tree without roots is just a piece of wood.

If you fear the man who takes care of you, no one has ever loved you truly.

For the mighty, even to give away is grace.

I was alone for five years. Having a love is a gigantic bonus in life, but I wasn't unhappy when I was single, either.

[To a priest who smoked:] What a shame for a man to dress like a saint and smell like a devil!

The poet, the artist, the sleuth, whoever sharpens our perception tends to antisocial; rarely 'well adjusted,' he cannot go along with currents and trends.

I knew my destiny was to be in the winner's circle. There were times along the way where I didn't make it there. But I felt my destiny was definitely to win big titles, win lots of titles.
