There were a few models who used to stay close to my building. I used to admire them and tell my friends that I did. Those models told me get into modeling.

To be a good model, you have to be very smart.

I never thought of a career of as a model, and it was a total surprise for me when I won the contest and became Miss Chelyabinsk. Then I started modelling in Paris.

Models are some of the most insecure people I've ever met. They're constantly being told they're not good enough. You've really got to practice loving yourself.

I think models in general have a certain insecurity about themselves because they're known for being beautiful, so they have to prove to everybody they have personality and they are intelligent.

Modeling is a profession where your worth is tied up with looks.

Most high-level models that I've ever met are actually well-travelled; they're cultured, and no guy laying a cheesy line on them is actually going to impact their world.

A lot of modeling is how much crap you can take.

I have never been a professional model; I have had some modeling sessions.
