If you never know hardship, you can't really support people around you.

But when my grandmother saw me plucking [my eyebrows] she said: 'Don't. You will regret it. One day you will wake up with no eyebrows and think how stupid you were. Your eyebrows are the most beautiful thing about you.'

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

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

I know what it's like not to have food in the fridge or money to buy more.

When I work as a model, it feels like holiday. Doing a shoot is so light in a way that it's really a good break from being a mother or running a charitable organization and other philanthropic projects that I'm really passionate about.

I completely admire my mother for raising a child with cerebral palsy at home.
