The secret to applying my makeup is that I just put it where it's needed.

When I was a teenager, I remember I wanted to put so much makeup on - it was just a natural thing over there. Why they do it, I guess, is because historically, there were twice as many women as there were men after the World War II.

It's better to be skinny than to be fat.

When I remember my life in Russia it is in totally dark colours.

I have made enough money to secure my family and that is all I care about.

If you are ambitious you can have a moment of glory but it will most likely be temporary. But talent always finds its way out.

We all have our own purpose in life and I feel very strongly that I have a bigger purpose than giving to just my immediate family and friends.
