You've been a playmate in the past, have you found it difficult to shake off that image?

Yes, it took me so long, I mean it's been 10 years ago and to me it does feel like yesterday, I can't believe it was that long ago! I'm still in touch with Hugh and the girls and my best friend in LA is now dating Hugh Hefner, so she's e-mailing me all these pictures like 'Look it's me and Hef!' When I see him out in LA of course I still talk to him- I get all the inside scoop too!

Why did you decide to leave that behind then and do something different?

Because there's so much more out there, if you do Playboy and you stick to it, there's no money in that. And you get more money doing respectable things, but I loved Playboy and I'm not ashamed of it, you know it kick started my career and naturally I started doing other things after a while, I think the fact that I'm European and I have contacts in Europe really helped too, and I speak different languages, so all that helps.

Are you single at the moment, or are you dating anybody?

Well, I'm separated and I'm just trying to figure out what's going on at the minute. I'm focusing on work and we'll see what happens.

You skied when you were younger, could it have been a whole different career path for you if you hadn't of had the injured yourself?

I think so, because I was taking it very seriously and competing every weekend and that was my goal you know, to be really good and then I started to open my eyes towards the fashion world and I was getting attacked by model scouts, so that's when I figured out that I wanted to do something different.

Good luck with everything, Bye!

Thank you so much, Bye!
