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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

A photo is a creation.

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

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

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

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

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

I also love horseback riding in New Jersey.
