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.

I don't mind being called Supernova. If one nickname is going to stick, that's not a bad one!

My appearance gave me access to a particular kind of world and I'm really grateful for it.

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

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

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