I have amazing parents. They had worked hard all their lives for me, and when I started to make money, I wanted to be able to take care of them.

I think if you don't trust in yourself, it helps to trust in something else.

It is important to me that people believe in me as a model, trust in me as a model - which they do in London and New York - which is why sometimes I think I'm an Anglo-Saxon woman at heart.

I am not complaining; I had a beautiful childhood - we didn't have a lot of money, but there was always food on the table, and my parents saved money so that in the holidays we would all get in the car and drive to the mountains. I have amazing parents.
