Since I was 8 months old, till I was 12, I did commercials and ads and cute little stuff for kids. Then I had braces on my teeth. They took them off when I was 16, and then I started modeling more seriously and doing more fashion. ”

As a little girl, I was always shy, but in front of the camera I wasn't. ”

These 'Sports Illustrated' people, they know how to hold a secret. ”

Happiness is when you love who you are and you are able to accept yourself and others. ”

I get to travel, see the world, meet people and be independent. I feel blessed. ”

My mum is my beauty icon, because she represents what I think beauty is. ”

Every time I come home, and every time before I leave, I invite all my friends and I get hummus from this little shack in Tel Aviv called Baadunas. ”

My everyday job is about superficial beauty, but when I'm not working I prefer to work on my inner beauty - I read a lot, I try to learn. ”

I usually go make-up free when I'm not working. Because I work so much, during the free days that I have I like to let my skin breathe, but of course I'm girly so I like to put on some blush and some mascara. ”
