I'd gone to Manhattan to become a model.

I wanted to become a model since I was a kid.

I went to a modeling agency and said I wanted to be a model. I worked, worked, worked so much while I was studying.

I always wanted to be a model, never an actress. I would see children in ads and stuff and wanted to be like them.

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 always wanted to have a family - that was one of my big wishes. And in school, I'd taken drama, and I'd always wanted to act. I did go to drama school in New York, Los Angeles and London, and I did small parts here and there, but I never really had the time. Modeling was always paying more.

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.
