As a child I really didn't like men at all, in fact.

If we're talking about being skinny or losing weight, I don't have that problem; it's genetics.

The best part of work is always working with people and getting to know them and having the sense that you're not actually working.

Russian women are very friendly with makeup, almost too friendly sometimes.

Finding out I was pretty was a very nice realisation.

Before I left Russia in 1999, I was living in a very poor factory town with my family and friends, and nothing was ever going to change.

When you become a mother, you think less about yourself and care more about the world.
