Quote

I wanted people to see me, to change their minds about me.

I hoped I could make people smile and laugh and have a good time.

I want people to remember me as a full on entertainer and a good person.

I look back with a mix of emotions: sadness for the people who are gone, nostalgia for times that have passed, but immense gratitude for the wonderful opportunities that came my way.

I barely got out of high school, and I look back at my life often and go, 'Wow, this was awesome!'

I don't want to be one of those people who have the best part of their life be 'back when.'

I want people to see me happy.

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.

So when you get a chance to look at things and chill and relax, it makes you want it more, and that's why I'm so happy to be back!
