The people that live in my hometown do not walk along the street with smiles on their faces. It is a desperate place, but I got out.

The big contracts go to the girls who are healthy - they need to have a sparkle in their eyes and you can't fake that if you're unhealthy.

I do modern jazz and contemporary combined. I like to feel strong, flexible, and so there is stretching involved.

When I really treat myself, I go to incredible Leonor Greyl in Paris for a head massage.

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.
