As a model, it's a gypsy kind of life: living in hotels, working all the time and ordering room service instead of cooking for yourself. There's absolutely no nest-building.

I'm lucky, I can sleep from takeoff until we land; so I'm fresh, rested and ready to work on arrival.

History is the key to everything: politics, religion, even fashion.

I love photo sessions. I'm alone, I'm the queen, everyone's taking care of me.

You can't be a model at age 60, but you certainly can be an actress.

My dream is to have a beautiful old house in Monaco.

Italian men do appreciate beautiful women. They're not afraid of the beauty, which is nice.
