When I was the first time for a job in New York, I saw Natalia Vodianova on an oversized billboard in Times Square on a Calvin Klein billboard.

If I could have the discipline to be super-skinny, I would be.

I can have an androgynous quality.

I would probably advise myself 10 years ago not to take life too seriously and to just try to be happy.

I just like a good, honest personality. I like a real person, not somebody who is pretending to be something that they're not. That really annoys me.

Being sexy is something inside, and not everybody has it.

I was born in a little village in the south of Holland called Mierlo. It was great growing up in Mierlo. It's a lovely little town where you can run around in the streets and climb trees and all that stuff when you're a kid. Then, when you're a teenager, it's not so fun. But I moved to Paris when I was very young.
