Rocha: "I think being true to yourself is ultimately the best way of living."

Rocha: "Having good style really just means having a decisive eye and being able to put things together in an aesthetically pleasing manner. It's not a matter of spending a lot of money and throwing it all together."

Rocha: "I'm that type of person that loves change."

Rocha: "When I started my first blog years ago, I just wanted to share my perspective. For a long time, models had been these mute pretty faces - and I wanted to have a voice."

Rocha: "I've always been the kind of girl that takes every day as it comes."

Rocha: "Connecting with fans is very important to me and useful, too! It's almost as if I have my own focus group. If I put up one picture that gets 1,000 likes and one that gets 15,000 likes, it gives me a big clue as to what people like to see."

Rocha: "Models are supposed to be a muse to you. Why is a muse always the same body type, the same look? It's boring."

Rocha: "Previously, someone would interview me, and if they liked me, it'd be a great story. If they hated me, it'd be a horrible story. I had no way to say anything. Social media changed things for people who didn't have a voice."

Rocha: "Nowadays, we have to break the molds to what it means to be a model in 2016."

Rocha: "I don't do nudes. I don't do semi-nudes. I don't do cigarette shots. It took me a long time in the business to realize I didn't have to do everything people told me I should if I wanted a career."

Rocha: "As a high-fashion model, I have long had a policy of no nudity or partial nudity in my photo shoots."

Rocha: "I've always thought of modeling as a performance, so I don't mind kind of pretending. I kind of pretend in a lot of my poses that I am a ballerina or a hip-hop dancer or a grunge performer."

Rocha: "Fashion can be a very fickle lady, especially when it comes to models - fashion likes to turn on its own."

Rocha: "I didn't know anything about fashion. You would see me in the biggest sweater with jeans or the tightest elastic pants. Not nice clothes. My mom took me a lot to consignment stores when I was younger, and I never really got to go to fancy high-class stores, so... vintage was like a step up."

Rocha: "I think balancing work and family takes constant adjustment. Its not something you can say you've accomplished and move on."
