A girl who is interested in becoming a model must first accept the fact that she is the product. She must be ready to deal with a lot of rejection.
Apart from my father, who taught me how to make the right choices and believe in myself, my mother showed me how to appreciate the beauty around us.
Hiking in undiscovered places is a lot of fun.
I always had enormous passion for cinema and acting, as well as writing journals, painting, reading and learning new things.
I don't really have a New Year's resolution to go on a diet or anything like that. I am who I am, and I don't want to be somebody else.
I don't think I would feel trapped on any island unless it were cold. I would take my lighter and a fishing rod.
I hope to continue building my acting career and work more on projects that fulfill my artistic thirst.
I love sailing and water sports; whether it's water skiing, body boarding or surfing or simply swimming in the ocean.
I think every day brings surprises; you just have to keep your eyes wide open and let things fall into their place.
I want to simply relax listening to some Jazz or dance my heart out listening to House, TripHop and all sorts of funky electronics.
I was fortunate enough to visit a lot of beautiful places around the world. The most astonishing and memorable experiences were my trips to Africa and Australia.
It is up to us to make the right choice and the right decisions.
It's a very hard and competitive business in which you have to fight every day in order to impose yourself.
Love yourself instead of abusing yourself.
Many of my interests have stayed the same; they just evolved to a more mature level.
Mother Nature made me the way I am, and I should be happy.
Music is another great pleasure of life. I like all sorts.
My acting coach makes the impossible accessible.
Remember who you are and where you come from; otherwise, you don't know where you are going.
Simply enjoy life and the great pleasures that come with it.
So many things can happen in 10 years.
The beauty comes with the balance. Everyone should find his own balance in his personal as well as his professional life. Once you do so, you will feel and look beautiful.
There are so many people I wish I could have met:
There is the glamour side of it, which allows you to meet great variety of people with whom you simply can have a good time, but there's also the sad side of it that drags you into a superficial and artificial world.
Unfortunately, modeling takes you with no transition from being a girl to being a business woman.
What I love the most about modeling is that it opens you a lot of different doors of opportunities and takes you to many different places, which then put you in touch with various people and cultures.
Whenever I'm free, I spend time with people I love, people that inspire me in many different ways.
