I was a bit of a tomboy when I started modeling. And I've always felt athletic and strong.

I never weigh myself. That's the best advice I can give - never step on a scale. You know if you're being healthy, if you're exercising. You don't need to be undermined by some crazy number.

I'm a vegetarian, but my family isn't. If I can keep everything in my house healthy, I don't have to worry as much when I eat out.

I am happy to the spokeswoman for this French youth that tomorrow will be spearhead new hope in the shape of the National Front.

The thrill of acting is making a character real. Modeling is the opposite of real. It's being fake in front of the camera.

One thing I love most about New York is the variety of amazing foods you can eat. My all-time favorite is the Chicken Parmigianino at Jean Georges.
