Writing down goals makes you think of what is achievable. It really makes you reflect on what you are today.

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

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

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

I live a very different life now, with incredible privileges, but looking back I realise that growing up in Russia gave me tools that other people don't necessarily have - such as the will to push that bit further, to make things happen, to succeed.

You cannot leave the house to take the garbage out without full-on makeup and your hair done. You have to fight for your man out there.

My childhood gave me resilience - and there's little that can surprise me in life.
