Quotes from Alessandra Ambrosio

I love little teddy bears and little fluffy animals. I buy them all the time.

I want the attention, I love the attention.

If I'm two pounds heavier, I'm fat. If I'm skinnier, I'm sick. It's ridiculous. And that's not coming from agents or designers.

The designers usually don't like to say until we're on the runway. Like when I did Prada last year, I couldn't mention doing Prada or even Tweet or take a picture and put it on Twitter saying I was backstage at the Prada show. And Dolce was the same thing. They like to keep a little surprise, I guess, a little secret for everybody.

I think I'm in better shape now than I was 10 years ago, but it takes a bigger toll - I get back pain!

I've been a fashion model for 15 years and designing is just an extension of my career. I still plan on modeling lingerie, but at the same time this is a business transition that I plan to have around for a long time.

My little girl, Anja, is really excited. We had a baby shower yesterday and she took the presents from everyone for me and was telling them, 'No, it's my baby.'

I try to do yoga once a week.

I've been tiny since I was four, and I eat whatever I want.

I would like to have a big white wedding and eventually have a family.

I like to dress pretty basic during the day, but with a sophisticated bohemian spin, and sometimes a little rock chic. At night I like to go glamorous.

Before, models had that rock star life and it was all about going to the parties and having that glamorous life, and I think these days, models are more like businesswomen and the whole industry takes it really serious.

Believe in yourself. Listen to the photographers you work with, and try to be professional at all time.

I love to eat and I love sweets... like chocolate. But I do work out.

I love everybody that I work with, and we have so much fun.

I'm not thinking about me that much anymore. Every time I look, I'm looking for my daughter, you know? If I'm in a store, I'm looking at baby clothes. It's so much cuter to find things for her than to find things for me.

I have been lucky enough to work with the world's best designers and top stylists - who have been my mentors.

Every woman has a different metabolism and different genetics, so rather than compete with one another, concentrate on yourself and be the best you can be.

I've seen Bruno Mars before, he's amazing.
