— How did you become a model?
I always felt that I could be a model, but I did nothing about it. Then one day was waiting for my cousin at a metro station when two guys came up and asked me, “Do you know English?”. They said I looked exactly like a model. They asked me if I wanted to be a model, and excitedly I said, “Yes!”. I took their number and sent my polaroids, but their agency ended up rejecting me. I was so depressed and sad. 

— Who is your favorite entertainer?
Vincent Van Gogh. He is a legendary artist now, but when he was alive, he could not sell even one artwork. But still, he kept drawing day after day without eating or sleeping. Because he was doing what he loved. If you’re doing something with love, you will get what you deserve one day.

— What’s a story your family/friends like to tell about you?
When I was four, I went on a picnic with my family. I thought the dog’s shit was chocolate and ate it. It’s been 16 years, but my family still tells everyone and laughs.
