My favorite places in Moscow are the Pushkin Museum of Fine Art - it has a wonderful collection of Impressionists - the Justo club, and Sandyni Bath, which is the oldest bath house in Moscow.

Pampering my skin with moisturiser is very important, but so is drawing. I like sport, but I have to be really interested in it.

Fashion shoots put an enormous strain on my skin and hair. So when I'm away from the cameras, I don't wear make-up, and I moisturise my skin with Aquasource by Biotherm.

As much as I love to portray a character, I also love portraying a more natural, elegant persona - particularly when I get to enjoy the sunshine in comfy, elegant clothes.

I love to do kung fu - it gives me energy.

If I knew the joy a child brings, I'd have become a mom earlier.

My beauty secret is really three secrets: get eight hours of sleep, eat natural/organic food, and exercise regularly.

I pay a lot of attention to composition in my art, and I will often shift myself or change a pose according to the golden triangle rule of photography composition.

I like to look after my body and my mind at the same time.

When I am not working as a model, I spend time with my family or working on my art projects in my studio.

As a child, I always thought about big screen and even played in a amateur theatrical studio.

Creative process gives me the most freedom because I can do anything I want on a piece of blank media.
