Modeling was never anything that was a career choice. I did catalog work in Toronto to make money so that I could go to school.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I came out of school I didn't even think that modeling was a job.
I never thought modeling would become my career. I thought it was something I'd do to pay my way through college.
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.
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.
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.
I wouldn't have taken up modeling as a profession. It was more of a hobby.
I've done modeling since I was 18, but it didn't take off until I moved to Los Angeles. Modeling has always been something I've been really good at, and has been something that's helped pay bills.
Modeling was something I wanted to try from a really young age.
I never had an ambition to go into modeling, originally. I still can't believe how quickly it all took off.
I went to the Professional Children's School in New York, and I started modeling because I could do that until I actually figured out what I wanted to do, and it gave me the opportunity to travel.
