My appearance gave me access to a particular kind of world and I'm really grateful for it.

Moscow is a huge inspiration for me. I love what I find here, I love being here.

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

I completely admire my mother for raising a child with cerebral palsy at home.

We all have our own purpose in life and I feel very strongly that I have a bigger purpose than giving to just my immediate family and friends.

The big contracts go to the girls who are healthy - they need to have a sparkle in their eyes and you can't fake that if you're unhealthy.

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.

Before I left Russia in 1999, I was living in a very poor factory town with my family and friends, and nothing was ever going to change.

I think protecting your family and giving to them is so important. It’s the most important achievement.

Keeping up with everything I do requires some sacrifices, but once and a while I need to take some time to myself.

Finding out I was pretty was a very nice realisation.

Evolution is more about the condition of the heart of a man who does not want to acknowledge God than it is about the facts.

I really had a problem with being 'the man.' I'm past it now, but that was my insecurity. I ran from that. I was cool with being No. 3 on the call sheet or No. 2.

Donald Trump doesn't like to debate and knows in his heart of hearts he isn't great at it.

I write books and either people read them or they don't read them. The rise of Facebook or e-books doesn't change the difficulty level of writing sentences and thinking up new ideas.

I'm a huge karaoke person even though I have the worst singing voice. When you love doing something, who cares?

I play all my own instruments. I write my own material. And I do not lip-synch. I sing live.

Health is very important to me.

To be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been.

Too caustic? To hell with the costs, we'll make the picture anyway.

I, for one, am exhausted. I’ve been threatened, beaten, bitten and killed, and that was just in the last hour. (Jericho)
