I wanted to model when I was younger.

My only model for being a father was my father, an illiterate on the margin of society.

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

I had wanted to be a Calvin Klein model since I was 17. Marky Mark in his Calvin Kleins was the epitome of male sexuality. That was something I worked for.

My mother was asked to be a model when she was younger, but my father had not let her, so she was quite keen on me becoming a model. I just went off without telling my dad. I took off to Paris and never came back, but when I became a success and started making money, he was very proud of me.

My dad dated a lot of supermodels.

When I was young, I used to tell my mum that she had to get me on the TV, but then modelling just sort of happened.
