You can achieve anything you put your mind and hard work to.
Sara Sampaio
My body doesn't have a lot of curves; I have small breasts, I don't have hips - so I'm not going to try to make myself something that I'm not. I'm just going to try to be the best version of myself.
I'm very lazy when it comes to taking care of my underwear. I should hand wash it all, but I can't be bothered. So instead, I keep ruining stuff by putting it in the washing machine.
Try to be the best version of yourself.
I grew up with a Mediterranean diet, so I like clean, simple food. But if there's pizza on a menu, I always end up ordering it. I can't resist it.
Australia's a place I've always wanted to visit because of the beautiful beaches. I am surprised by how cosmopolitan the cities are; it wasn't what I expected.
I shoot swimsuits and lingerie all the time, so I want to make sure I'm in the best shape. It makes me want to work out harder than usual.
I can never finish a burger, and even if it's just a millimetre, I'll leave it. I don't know why I can't finish it. I don't know if it is physiological, but I just feel like I'm full halfway through it.
When it comes to beauty, I feel that hanging with people you love, laughing, and doing silly things gets your spirits up. We are always prettier when we are happier.
When we go somewhere, my dad will start shouting my name very loudly. He'll yell, 'Oh, my God, it's Sara Sampaio!' My brother does the same.
I moisturise a lot. I use Victoria Secret's hydrating body lotion.
I tend to curve my back or pop my hip on the side. I always like to turn a little bit profile, and if you put one of your knees in, it also gives the illusion of more curves. There are a lot of tricks - you learn on the job sometimes.
I tan very easily. I always wear SPF50+ sun cream; however, I still go very dark brown.
Dealing with negative comments is part of this job, and I've had to develop a thick skin, though some days it's easier than others.
Wheat makes my stomach very bloated. Sugar is horrible for my skin, but I love it.
I can speak English, Portuguese, and a bit of Spanish, or Sportugal. It's a mix of Portuguese and Spanish. I understand French and Italian, but I can't speak them.
Lisbon is incredibly beautiful.
I don't have any rules about what to wear when I go out. I go through phases. Sometimes I'll go out in jeans and a top and not even wear heels. Sometimes I want to be more sexy, in a dress and heels.
I love all the teenager stuff like 'Glee,' '90210,' 'Vampire Diaries,' 'Gossip Girl.'
If I do something, I want to be the best. And one of the best things you can be is a Victoria's Secret Angel; for me, that's always been a goal.
In Porto, you have to eat francesinha. Translated, it means 'little French girl.' It's this sandwich of bread, ham, and a lot of beef sausage or other meats. Then you put melted cheese on the top. The special thing about it is the sauce. Each house makes a special secret sauce, and it's usually a bit spicy.
My favorite nights out are the most random ones - when they start at a bowling alley and end up someplace you don't even know where. Those are my favorite - the most random ones that you don't plan, when you meet up with friends, and you're supposed to do something and end up doing something else.
I'm obsessed with great white sharks. And I want to dive into the coral of the Great Barrier Reef.
Most of the time, I do my own hair. I have good hair, so I don't need much. I don't need a hairdresser to come unless I want something very specific.
When I started modeling, I didn't know anything about fashion, but I'd watched the Victoria's Secret show.
I don't have a lot of curves, and I'm very skinny, so I always feel like I have to fake my curves a little bit.
For me, a snack is supposed to be unhealthy! I like having chips or popcorn when I'm on set.
I find most of the things I've done through the Internet. I'm like, 'Oh, that's how that turned out! I look good!'
My guilty pleasure is definitely candy! Skittles are my favourite.
At the end of the day, we came into the world naked, and that's the way we're going to go.
I've always loved English and loved English music and TV shows.
I hate being barefoot.
When posing in lingerie, I suck everything in and pop my hip out a little bit. If you lie on your side and draw one knee in a bit, it makes you look more curvalicious.
I'm not the healthiest eater; I'll admit that. I love junk food.
I try to work out twice a week. I don't restrict myself from any food in my diet; I think it's all about balance. I'm also very lucky with my genetics and metabolism.
I must have, like, four different types of lip moisturizer in my bag!
I try and avoid cardio because it makes me lose a lot of weight. Instead, I do resistance training, model fit workouts, and ballet.
I've always had very high aims for my life and for my career, for anything that I do.
Everything I do lands in the newspapers.
I think my first album was a gift for my birthday and a Faith Hill album; I loved her.
I am not really into paintings, to be honest, but for me, the art I love is when I see singers putting their heart into their song, actors giving the performance of their lives, and books and movies that make me feel something I never thought I could; there's art in everything as long as it's made with soul.
There aren't a lot of Portuguese models, so everyone always expects me to be Brazilian because of my features, sometimes even American, as I have a slight American accent when I speak English.
In New York, I am barely recognised, or people don't really care. When I go to Portugal, I go outside to a public place and am recognised constantly.
New York cold gets into your bones, and you can't move.
The worst is when you read things on the Internet blogs, because people don't hold back. Sometimes you read wonderful things, but sometimes it's really awful stuff. Like on the Fashion Spot, for example, people always comment on you. They forget that we might read that stuff.
As women, we need to stand together. We are judged and objectified often enough by men.
I just think no one should try to make their body something that it's not.
I'm like every other girl; there are things I wish I could change about my body, but I try not to think about them too much.
I'm pretty comfortable stripping down to my underwear, as long as there's respect around me.
I just try to love my body, to embrace who I am and really be the best version of myself. You have to know how much you're worth.
