But I also want to have a family with children one day, which is very important to me.

But all the money in the world cannot make you happy either, so there has to be a balance.

So to get back to being intimidated, yes, you get intimidated when you're on the runway with Naomi Campbell, who is the best runway model in the world.

So everyone has that problem, models have that problem, too.

Fashion is a very particular world, as you know.

Being a Victoria's Secret model, which was always my dream.

I like basketball, and I've been to three games, which is so much more fun than seeing it on TV, I think.

For me, my business is my business and my house is my house. I don't want the public in my house.

I like to dream, but I like to make things happen.

A woman is a woman!

But I also want to have a family with children one day, which is very important to me.

A little acting debut in Spin City, with Michael J. Fox, which opened up a whole new door for me.

I actually eat a lot.

I love painting.

The main thing is healthy eating, exercise, which I do for special events, like if it's Sports Illustrated, or the swim suit catalogue for Victoria's Secret, or my own calendar that I did for the year 2000.

Because I'm on the runway with some of the best models in the industry.

I don't have my name on anything that I don't really do.

Well, I was already so happy being chosen to do the issue itself, that when I got on the cover, it was even more of a surprise and even more amazing to me.

I never went to a modeling school, and I don't suggest to anybody that they go to a modeling school.

Well, I was going to school in Germany. And in my free time I was dancing.

I grew up in a big family with a lot of kids around, and I definitely want to have children as well.

I danced for 15 years of my life. Which was my love and my passion.

All German women are beautiful.

Apart from sharing my tips on toys or snacks, I'm open to hearing new ideas from other moms. I want to learn, too.

As a model you need to be able to do the craziest things.

Children are very addicting. Once they start growing up, you miss when they were little.

Every couple goes through things.

Family comes first. You're the only thing they have.

For the longest time, you just sound like a broken record, but you have to be consistent when teaching kids.

Going blonde is like buying yourself a light bulb!

I always did feel beautiful when I was pregnant, but I do feel more me when I'm my normal size.

I always think, look at how people were before they were pregnant. If you were a toned, healthy, energetic person, most likely you will be like that again.

I am generally a very happy and easygoing person.

I am generally a very happy and easygoing person. I also believe it's always better to meet people with a smile rather than looking cold, especially when you first meet. It changes everything.

I am into comedy.

I am someone who always gets up again, even if there are setbacks. I have a survivor instinct. I'm not sure where it comes from, but probably from all the little things that make you into who you are.

I believe that when you put a smile out there, you get a smile back.

I can't look in the mirror and look at fake things. I just can't. I'd rather age.

I certainly like working in Germany.

I come from a place where we're not that shy about our bodies.

I don't have the hard everyday life that so many working mothers face.

I don't know why I got so lucky. I have to pinch myself often and say, 'Is this just a dream?'

I don't know why we work, my husband and I. We just do. We are black and white - yin and yang.

I don't think I could not have been with an artist of some kind, someone creative.

I don't want to be wondering about how skinny I am, wondering what I'm going to eat because I don't want to gain and I want to look hot and young, always and forever.

I have a normal life and I have this glamorous life, but to me it's two different things.

I have a whole army of pajamas.

I have always been too round to do fashion shows.

I have the best husband in the world. He's very involved.
