Then Robbie asks her whether she had harboured ambitions of modelling or movie stardom since childhood, she quickly shoots down the idea. Well, she answer no, because she knew she couldn’t. When she was 13 she could experience culture first-hand; and later she had money for expensive purchases. Her mother was proud of her.

In the last paragrahps the author describes Kurylenko's life after a move to Paris, about her higher-profile modelling jobs and her roles in some films, such as Hitman, Max Payne, Empires of the Deep. In conclusion Kurylenko adds that it’s harder to be a girl in this world because we’re the weaker sex.

Well, I considere Olga Kurylenko a fascinating and talanted actress and a steady person. Despite of the fact during her youth Olga had the humbling experience of living in poverty, she was able to built her career and her fate. I think it's great!
