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

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.

Sometimes I just need to switch off.

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.

As a child I really didn't like men at all, in fact.

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

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