""I love food and also it is very difficult to be on a diet when you are Miss World because you are travelling around the world and I try local cuisine wherever I go"."

""I have learnt that even though it is very diverse, you stand for unity. Because your values are the same everywhere – you stand for family, love, kindness and respect"."

""I am a true fan of Priyanka Chopra. Not only because of her acting skills, but she is an icon to me.When I was learning for the competition and aspiring to be the Miss World, I was really looking up to her for what she has done for her career, how she not only handles her acting life but also how she is truly continuing the mission of beauty with purpose and supporting children while working with UNICEF. She is an amazing person and working with her would be an honour"."

""When I heard my name I was shocked, I still can’t believe it. I am honoured to wear the Miss World crown and can’t wait to get to work. I will remember this amazing chapter in Puerto Rico for the rest of my life"."

"[Receiving an anonymous email about animals getting skinned alive for fur] made me furious, and angry and depressed. I was an animal lover my whole life, but I never realized that humans beings were capable of such cruelty. … It was a huge wake-up call for me, and I knew I had to get involved, so I dedicated my life basically to being a voice for animals because they're voiceless and defenseless. … If you're an animal lover, just try to educate your friends and be a voice. Always try to find products that are not tested on animals and stay away from fur. … It's amazing how powerful social media can be – animals can be saved just because people share info and care. It's all about being active and just trying to make the world a better place."
