I missed quite a lot of school because I was working from the age of 11.

I love Yves Saint Laurent and Giambattista Valli and Givenchy, and I get given quite a lot, but perhaps nothing is as wonderful as the white fake leather trench coat I got when I was 15.

Because of my childhood where I was constantly by myself, I always feel lonely. I have a lot of people that I absolutely love and I know love me but I can't get rid of that feeling of loneliness no matter who I'm with - even with my children.

It's better to be skinny than to be fat.

I don't mind being called 'Supernova.' If one nickname is going to stick, that's not a bad one!

I was born in Nizhny Novgorod to a very poor family and unfortunately my father and mother separated when I was very little.
