Nothing is better than going home to family and eating good food and relaxing.
Irina Shayk
My ideal man is faithful, honest, and a gentleman who knows how to treat women.
What I've never understood is why some women use plastic surgery to make themselves more attractive to men. The most beautiful woman is someone who's happy and is always smiling.
It doesn't matter if you're small, big, or fit: if you go in front of the camera and deliver and say, 'Oh my God, I look amazing,' and just be sure about yourself, everything will be perfect.
For my body, I like high-waisted jeans because they make your leg look longer and hides this extra thing on my stomach. You can eat extra food with it because it hides, and I like to tuck in my t-shirts.
I think whatever dress you wear, people will criticise you. Different people have different opinions.
I travel around the world, and there are so many beautiful girls, but that's not going to make you a supermodel. You have to have something more than just a pretty face.
When it comes to lingerie, there are no rules. I feel the sexiest when I'm myself, no hair, no makeup.
I'm a woman who is very confident with the body, with my body.
I'm Russian: I'm into men, diamonds, and caviar.
Don't forget to eat a lot of greens and fish oil pills. Those are two of the best things to keep your skin glowing.
Stay away from the sun and remember the skin on a woman's neck, hands and face is sensitive and ages easily, so apply a high SPF sunscreen on those areas.
I'm from a very small village in the middle of nowhere, four hours by airplane from Moscow. Yemanzhelinsk - you wouldn't find it on the map. Don't even try it. It's super, super tiny.
When I was a teenager, I experimented a lot with hair colour, and the result was just awful.
You have to love your body, respect it, and treat it well.
When I grew up, my role model was my grandma because she's just the best.
I was born and raised in a small village, and I didn't even think I was especially pretty.
In Russia, we eat a lot of heavy food like potatoes and lots of meat. I can't eat one apple or a salad a day. You wouldn't want to come talk to me if I don't eat. I have to eat, or I am in a really bad mood.
You can't just dream about what you want and leave things to chance. You have to get it yourself.
I'm very smart, and I have a great team of people around me investing my money. I'm not buying gold - yet.
I would never do 'Playboy.'
If you want to eat chocolate or cakes, you have to eat it in the morning, for breakfast or lunch - don't eat it in the night.
If you're with someone, it's because you're moving in the same direction, and you both are looking for the same thing. Both of you have to share the same concept of what a relationship means.
Use coconut oil; it is one of the best moisturizers. Use it right after the shower on wet skin and then wipe it off with a towel.
You have to invest the money in a certain thing, because, you know, at 40, I want to enjoy my life. So I do a lot of investments. Apartments back in Russia and New York. It's a good thing to do.
I love honest men, and a I love a man who is loyal to women.
The 'Hercules' role just kind of came to me, but I had a lot of fun trying something new.
I couldn't speak any English when I first left Russia, and Intimissimi taught me everything. The team was like a family to me - they showed me how to model and how to stay in shape. They really believed in me.
Even if you have some extra kilos, you don't need to kill yourself for that; you just have to look at yourself as a positive.
I really love to play 'Moonlight Sonata' by Beethoven. I can still read music, but I need to practise more. The way your fingers move - it's something that comes from memory. I love music.
Yes, I am a lingerie model, but I have class.
To me, being worth it means being independent and carving your own path. The L'Oreal woman is worth it because she wants to be.
My father was dark skinned because he was Tatar. Sometimes Tatars can look Brazilian.
I started playing piano age six. I was also singing in the choir, so my mum put me into music school. I went to study there for seven years, but it was not my passion. I quit because I wanted to study marketing. But I can still play piano.
I started modelling quite late, at 20. In this industry, girls start when they're barely even 14 or 15.
Actually, I wanted to become a journalist, but no matter who I imagined myself to be in the future, somehow I was sure: I would leave my hometown. I felt it was my destiny.
I never thought of a career of as a model, and it was a total surprise for me when I won the contest and became Miss Chelyabinsk. Then I started modelling in Paris.
My favorite spot is the Maldives. Since I travel so much for work, I like to go to places that are very secluded and quiet.
I hate cardio; I hate to go for a run. I hate physical things. But Jiu Jitsu is fun because its self-defence and you get some good cardio.
We will all be gone one day. Not as a negative thing - as a positive thing, too, you know, and we should leave something behind ourselves.
I love food - I am never on a diet - I swear to God!
I am trying to concentrate on books. You know, I love Dostoevsky; he's my favourite writer.
To be half-naked for a Greek mythology movie, it's a piece of art. You know, there's nothing vulgar in there.
I hadn't planned to be a model. It just happened by pure chance. I went to a beauty school with my sister, and I got discovered pretty late. I was discovered when I was 20-21.
I spend time doing cardio because it makes me feel good.
My father died when I was 14, and my mother juggled two jobs so she could make sure my sister and I were OK.
I don't spend a lot of money on clothes, which is weird because I am a fashion model, but when it comes to the new collections coming out, I am just praying designers send it to me for free.
I've felt ugly and insecure.
You can see designers and fashion people bringing in older girls to do their shows - I'm not even afraid to say 'older.'
Try not to eat after 7 P.M. Try to stay away from heavy food in the night, like hamburgers and chicken nuggets. Eat that stuff in the morning or early afternoon.
