I rarely do masks because, if I have any extra time, I'd rather spend it with my friends than on myself.

Because beauty isn't enough, there must be something more.

I love photo sessions. I'm alone, I'm the queen, everyone's taking care of me.

We are very isolated, far from boyfriends and friends, so we have to be strong, smart and very professional.

Ever since I was a very little girl, I've dreamed of acting.

A photo is a creation.

But for the time being, I've only learned one cake recipe and how to make scrambled eggs.

We're constantly buying airplane tickets; we travel on the Concorde.

On my birthday, I was in Milan for the collections.

But I love fish, cheese and meat, and I eat everything, but only in small quantities if it's rich.

Six months later I was in Paris. I was 16, and it all started to happen.

I'm even embarrassed at times when my friends come upon my pictures.

I play a role in front of the cameras, just like in the movies.

But I was very much into sports when I was a child.

I also love horseback riding in New Jersey.

Otherwise, I spend a lot of time at my boyfriend's home in the country, in New Jersey.

For me, it's a compliment to be compared with Marilyn, the unforgettable actress, the most beautiful one of all. But, curves aside, we have very little in common.

My dream is to have a beautiful old house in Monaco.

I'm lucky, I can sleep from takeoff until we land; so I'm fresh, rested and ready to work on arrival.

I didn't have to undergo reconstructive surgery.

I don't think I ever had a swollen head: I remember where I come from.

I do pottery. I love it. It's very relaxing; it takes me to another planet.

I put my money in the bank: I have to think of life after modeling, when I'm not famous any more.

You can't be a model at age 60, but you certainly can be an actress.

Actually, I don't really like being confused with my image.

I'm very serious; I don't waste my earnings.

Yes, I was really good in physics and in math.

I'm lucky, I don't like sweets, not even chocolate.

My mother's a secretary; my father's an electrician in a mining company.

History is the key to everything: politics, religion, even fashion.

I especially love French, Italian and Japanese cuisines.

Italian men do appreciate beautiful women. They're not afraid of the beauty, which is nice.

But I also like to shower my parents with presents. I bought them a beautiful car and a house.
