“Every time I come home, and every time before I leave, I invite all my friends and I get hummus from this little shack in Tel Aviv called Baadunas.”

Have the passion and the magic will happen

The one thing I’m absolutely obsessed with lately are gadgets! New cell phones; I walk around with three phones because I have all the new ones, and I can’t choose which I prefer.

Since I was 8 months old, till I was 12, I did commercials and ads and cute little stuff for kids. Then I had braces on my teeth. They took them off when I was 16, and then I started modeling more seriously and doing more fashion.

I don’t know who Little Richard is.

I get to travel, see the world, meet people and be independent. I feel blessed.

I bike all the time in New York City. I bike for hours. I can bike for eight hours a day and just go everywhere with bikes.

Modeling gave me an opportunity to be someone I’m not each day.

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing and mojito in your hand.

I usually go make-up free when I’m not working. Because I work so much, during the free days that I have I like to let my skin breathe, but of course I’m girly so I like to put on some blush and some mascara.

My mum is my beauty icon, because she represents what I think beauty is.

I don’t need to apologize for my behavior you need to apologize for not understanding.

My everyday job is about superficial beauty, but when I’m not working I prefer to work on my inner beauty – I read a lot, I try to learn.

Happiness is when you love who you are and you are able to accept yourself and others.

My make-up artist, she uses bronzer on the eyelids too. And also a little bit on the forehead to make everything look even.

These ‘Sports Illustrated’ people, they know how to hold a secret.

Justin Bieber and I are going to get married some day. I also like Tom Cruise. He’s very classy.

What works in a story is very different than what works in cinema. For example, dialogue in books: If you translate it too faithfully, it sounds a little stilted, because we often don’t speak the way we speak in novels. Oral language is much punchier, shorter sentences.

I get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested in.

I’m happy in the UK. I absolutely love it and I’ve finally got a great group of friends. I’ve got a lovely little flat and my work’s here.

Television is where you earn regular money so you can plan a little bit but even then only when you have a regular gig. If you’re just doing the odd appearance, you don’t know if it will carry on.

Three blokes go into a pub. One of them is a little bit stupid, and the whole scene unfolds with a tedious inevitability.

You can learn a little bit from everybody, so you should be able to work a bit with everybody.

I don’t roll like that but I’ve never been with a hooker either. Yeah, that’s good to say in an interview cause I feel bad a little because people grew up watching me and that’s a little disturbing.

There is little to be gained by seeking after the mysteries, for there is hardly time in a lifetime to master the plain and precious things.
