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

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

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.

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

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

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

I love photo sessions. I’m alone, I’m the queen, everyone’s taking care of me.

I do pottery. I love it. It’s very relaxing; it takes me to another planet.

My dream is to have a beautiful old house in Monaco.

I’m lucky, I can sleep from takeoff until we land; so I’m fresh, rested and ready to work on arrival.

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

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

I rarely do masks because, if I have any extra time, I’d rather spend it with my friends than on myself.

I didn’t have to undergo reconstructive surgery.

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

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

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.

I also love horseback riding in New Jersey.

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

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

I play a role in front of the cameras, just like in the movies.

My mother’s a secretary; my father’s an electrician in a mining company.

I especially love French, Italian and Japanese cuisines.

I’m lucky, I don’t like sweets, not even chocolate.

I’m very serious; I don’t waste my earnings.

I don’t think I ever had a swollen head: I remember where I come from.

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

I’m even embarrassed at times when my friends come upon my pictures.

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

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

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

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

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