Alicia Machado

Every day I am trying to improve my life.

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.

Beauty is only temporary, but your mind lasts you a lifetime.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

To me, tattoos are a way of people being able to express themselves and have other people look at them and get a little insight into who they are, without ever even saying a word to them.

The word 'seek' means to go in search of, try to discover, try to acquire. It requires an active, assertive approach to life.
