I completely admire my mother for raising a child with cerebral palsy at home.

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

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

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.

Because of my childhood where I was constantly by myself, I always feel lonely. I have a lot of people that I absolutely love and I know love me but I can't get rid of that feeling of loneliness no matter who I'm with - even with my children.

I learnt early to have little expectation so I protected myself from ever feeling greatly disappointed.

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.
