It's always been very clear to me that I was going to be a mother and that my purpose in life was to give life.

I think that natural beauty is very charismatic... I just believe in enhancing who we are rather than trying to manipulate or change it too much.

For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn't enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input?

Acting and modeling have nothing to do with each other.

As long as people want to see me in movies, and as long as I find it interesting, I'll keep working.

It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am.

Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.
