I was very skinny, braces; so I never thought I would be a model.

Nobody in my family ever thought that I'd a be a model.

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 wanted to become a model since I was a kid.

I never wanted to be a model. I never wanted to be a serious actress. I started off doing comedy. I did a stand-up comedy camp at the Laugh Factory, and I started out on Nickelodeon.

When I was a kid, everywhere I went people said I should be a model, but I was more into skateboarding.

I always wanted to be a teacher or wanted to do something with food. But modeling, I just never thought I could do it myself, really, ever. I still have trouble calling myself a model. I just never thought I was tall enough or skinny enough.

There wasn't really one time in my life where I was like, 'I want to be a model!'

I really don't think I ever thought I could be a model. I was shorter than all of the models around and certainly rounder than anybody that I had ever seen in a magazine.

Modeling gave me an opportunity to be someone I'm not each day.
