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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know quite a few friends who are models, and they're usually really smart, sharp, world-savvy people.
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.
I started to model because I thought I could use it as an excuse to others, like, 'Yeah, I'm tall because I'm a model.'
I never really wanted to be a model. But when the opportunity came, I grabbed it.
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've always only wanted to model. It really is the only life I want.
I don't like modeling, but in terms of the places I got to visit, it was great.
I've always seen modeling as a stepping stone.
To me, it's a little odd to ever think 'model into actor.' I modeled once. I was about as far from a decent model as you can possibly be. I did not enjoy the world at all. I fell in my stilettos quite a bit.
I've never hung around with any models. I've always hung around with my friends from school and kept myself to myself.
