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

Finding out I was pretty was a very nice realisation.

I believe in reincarnation of the soul.

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.

We all have our own purpose in life and I feel very strongly that I have a bigger purpose than giving to just my immediate family and friends.

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

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