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 love Yves Saint Laurent and Giambattista Valli and Givenchy and I get given quite a lot, but perhaps nothing is as wonderful as the white fake leather trench coat I got when I was 15.

I missed quite a lot of school because I was working from the age of 11.

Keeping up with everything I do requires some sacrifices, but once and a while I need to take some time to myself.

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

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

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.
