       Yeah, I was all set to go and work for his firm. And then all my plans changed. I realised this was too good an opportunity to turn down, so I grabbed it with both hands.

      

      

       Your story is a bit of a fairytale for the modern ages. There must have been some tough times?

       Oh, sure. But I’m always confident in my own ability.

      

      

       What’s your secret?

       Plenty of discipline. And also being able to be around others. I’m a people person. I like being able to think on my feet when I’m facing a barrage of questions from reporters at a press conference. I see it as a challenge; it doesn't scare me.

      

      

       Is it just about discipline?

       You also need to stay level-headed. And that’s where the way I was brought up comes in. My family have helped me a lot. They made me who I am: confident, pragmatic and well-balanced. I can stay in control even when I’m out of my comfort zone. For example, it’s thanks to my parents that I’m now able to speak in public without feeling shy.

      

      

       If the media is anything to go by, you move pretty quickly from one relationship to another: one day it’s Prince Albert of Monaco, the next Julio Bocca. Who is the real Claudia?

       The real Claudia is a girl who has lots of friends. Prince Albert is one of those, Julio Bocca is another. But there’s also Plácido Domingo, Peter Gabriel and a load of other famous people. As soon as I’m photographed with them, I have the entire world’s press immediately claiming they're my boyfriend! It’s not like that.

      

      

       But do you eventually see yourself settling down, getting married, having kids?

       I’m absolutely ready to fall in love, the sooner the better. But I don't have a partner right now simply because I’ve not fallen in love with anyone.

      

      

       What do you look for in a man?

       I don't have an ideal type in terms of looks. The first thing I look for is personality, and sense of humour above everything. I need a man to charm me, to win me over with intelligence, with his mind. Someone who can teach me the true value of humour. I mean, you have to be able to laugh, don't you?

      

      

       Sounds like a pretty demanding job being your boyfriend …

       Anyone who is with a celebrity needs to be a strong character in their own right. I love men who have character but are also sensitive. If you want to be with me, you have to tolerate noise, intrusion, gossip, reporters...

      

      

       Do you feel guilty at all?

       What do you mean?

      

      

       I mean, it seems like you have it all: beauty, fame, money...

       I do feel lucky. I thank God and my parents for giving me the life I have. That’s why, when I can, I try to do something useful or helpful.

      

      

       But it's not all sunshine and roses in the fashion world, is it? There’s drugs, alcohol, fierce rivalries...

       I’m not affected by drugs or alcohol. Jealousy, sure, but I don’t really understand it. Models come in all shapes, sizes, personalities and mentalities, so I think there's room enough for everyone. And you don’t have to be insanely beautiful. There's something beautiful about every woman. You just have to nurture it.

      

      

       What do you need to make it big?

       The main thing is character, because it’s not like there is a shortage of beautiful women in the world. After that, you need education, personality and discipline.

      

      

       By that, do you also mean discipline when it comes to your diet?

       Not really. I don’t smoke and I don't drink, but that’s only because neither thing appeals to me. I don’t eat a lot of meat because I don't think it’s good for you, and I’m careful about fats. But I love chocolate... Oh, and Fanta of course! (laughs ).

      

      

       How are you with money?

       It’s not the be all and end all, but it will allow me to do what I want in the future. Money gives you freedom.

      

      

       What does the word sex mean to you?

       To me? (seems genuinely taken aback ).

      

      

       Yes, to you.

       Well, something that happens naturally between two people who are in love with each other. That's it.

      

      

       Do you feel like you're a particularly sexual, or rather sensual, person?

       Absolutely.

      

      

       ? yes!
