EVA HERZIGOVA

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I also love horseback riding in New Jersey.

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

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

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

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

I especially love French, Italian and Japanese cuisines.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A photo is a creation.
