It's not that I don't believe in creativity and innovation and new ideas, and the creativity that comes with fashion, which I really respect. But one of my biggest concerns is just how cheap we expect everything to be.

I have to admit I've always had quite a complex relationship with modeling and with the idea of advertising: not always knowing what I'm advertising and selling.

I really love any and all manifestations of art, really respect any kind of artistic impulse, whether it's paintings and sculptures or really good filmmaking or music. I really see the relationships between these different mediums as very fluid. I think you see that nowadays, in this postmodern context, there's much more use of different mediums in contemporary art. For me, if you're a creative person, you can choose to make a painting, you can choose to make a film.

Giving triggers social cohesion. It's also the basis for an economy not based on money.

Modelling, fashion and film have all encouraged me to learn more about issues and to feel empowered enough to do something about them.

Talent is crucial. It needs to be driven by motivation, but blind ambition isn't the key.

The need to protect the environment has emerged as an undeniably important priority for me.
