I think modelling was like the university of life, really. You get to travel but you get thrown into this adult world, which is kind of quite scary.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I never thought modeling would become my career. I thought it was something I'd do to pay my way through college.
I never knew modelling was what I wanted to do. I was just meandering through life having fun, having a laugh with my friends.
When I came out of school I didn't even think that modeling was a job.
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 never really thought about modelling. It wasn't something I ever wanted to do. I used to always be so angry about modelling.
Modeling was something I wanted to try from a really young age.
Modelling was not very satisfying for me. I came to London to model, and I fell in love with the theatre. I was eating yoghurt every day so that I had the money to go to the theatre. I saw everything. It's still my dream to be on stage in London.
Modelling is a silly, crazy business.
Modeling wasn't the thing that was going to define me in any way; it was just a way to make a lot of money.
Modeling, for me, was not fulfilling. I didn't see the point - although I was able to travel a great deal. I lived in Italy, Germany, and Spain, but I wasn't devoted to it.
