Ana Beatriz Barros's Q&A
The one thing I'm absolutely obsessed with lately is ...
Workouts. I'm working out four times a week at home with my trainer. I do pilates and yoga; a lot of different exercises and I'm obsessed with it.
On a quiet, rainy day I usually ...
Stay home and watch a movie with my friends or family in New York. Usually some good movie that is out. The last one was The Illusionist. I like Ed Norton. He's a great actor.
If I were giving a tour of my home, the one place I wouldn't show anyone is ...
I love my house. I'm so clean. I want everyone to see everything.
I feel a secret connection with ...
Jake Gyllenhaal. It's not a crush -- it's a connection. I think he's really hot. Yeah, I can see myself with Jake Gyllenhaal.
In a past life I was ...
I believe in reincarnation, I'm Catholic ... I was someone really cool.
If I didn't have any responsibilities tomorrow morning, I would spend tonight ...
I would go out and have fun with my friends. I go to this one bar called The Box, with a lot of different performers.
If I didn't have any responsibilities for a week, I would go to ...
I would go on vacation with my sister to Brazil. Fernando De Noronha in the north of Brazil is the most beautiful place I've seen in my life -- the beaches and beautiful houses; it's amazing.
If you asked my friends about me, the first thing they would tell you is ...
That I'm funny. They find me hilarious.
The last thing I really splurged on was ...
Last night I ate a lot ... I spent a lot of money in Paris, too. I was there for 15 days working. I bought some Jimmy Choo boots for $800. That's splurging, no?
When I get dressed to go to the grocery store, my clothing inspiration is ...
Just something that defines how I feel that day.
When I get dressed up for a party, my clothing inspiration is ...
I like to dress up a lot to go out. Just in the evening though -- not in the day. My inspiration is how I feel.
One thing I do only when I'm home completely alone is ...
It's a secret. I can't tell anyone. That's why I do it alone.
If I had to spend $1 million right now, I would ...
I'd arrange a private jet and go around the world with my friends and my family -- especially my sister. One place we'd go: India. I've never been there, but I'm curious.
If I had to spend $10 right now, I would ...
Maybe buy some chewing gum. What can you do with $10? Or I would just help people with it, because that's very important
The one place I've seen that I'll never forget is ...
I've been to a lot of places, being a model. But the beaches in Fernando De Noronha are incredible.
I won't date a man if he ...
Is not well-educated.
My favorite time to be naked is ...
When I take a shower.
When it comes to nudity, most people don't know that I ...
Don't go to nude beaches. In Brazil, it's not allowed.
When I open my eyes in the morning, the very first thing on my mind is ...
What I have to do that day. I make lists on my Blackberry.
An athlete I have a secret crush on is ...
Marat Safin. I've met him. And I think he's good looking.
How about an entertainer?
Jude Law and Johnny Depp. No, Jude Law. I met him at a party and he's so nice.
And name one surprise crush who most people wouldn't find particularly attractive.
I like good-looking guys in general, not dorky or different guys.
If I could be anything but a model, I would be ...
In marketing. I like it. I didn't go to university, but if I wasn't a model, I would study that.
In a group of people, I'm always the first to ...
Decide everything. I tell people what to do.
To impress a cute man at a bar, I would ...
Be myself -- that's all I need. I would do my thing and the boys come.
The last time I saw a woman and thought "I wish I looked like her" was ...
Never. I like the way I look. I can name you a beautiful woman but I wouldn't wish that I was her.
The one thing I'm superstitious about is ...
I wear a bracelet called the Evil Eye. They bring you good luck and protect you.
My personal hero is ...
My mom. She is the best mother of all human beings. I see her all the time. She's in Brazil and she comes here more than I go.
Where's the one place you have to go when you're in your hometown?
When I go home, I stay between Rio and Sao Paolo. I have places in both. When I go home I have to see my family and there are so many good restaurants in Sao Paolo. La Tartine; it's a French-Brazilian restaurant.
What charity work do you participate in?
In Brazil, I do charity for kids with mental problems. It's called APAI. I help them, go to their school in Abiza and play with them.
