(On finally having her ears pierced) At first, it felt a bit strange to have them done, but I soon got used to it. Now, I really love them and keep wondering why I waited so long to have them done.

I know one day I`ll be considered too old.

This is not a change of career for me. Just an expansion of it. I have contracts and obligations and business partners who are counting on me. And I would only want to do another movie if it`s as good as this one.

I only want to do small parts for now.

I just love to shock people. Yesterday my friend said, What a great top, is it Stella?" I said, "No, it`s Mango, £25." I`m never head-to-toe in anything. I like to mix things from Prada, things from Marc Jacobs. But, you know, you can spend several thousand pounds on something, wear it for one day and the button falls off. I get really pissed off when you spend so much money."

I love movies, I`ve always been interested in them, but I wanted to wait for the right time to start acting.

Quentin Tarantino asked me to work with him but there is no way I am going to do that while Matthew Vaughn is working in film.

For me, football always meant that we came together as a family and, in the summer we played football outside.

I wanted to start with a very small role, to get my feet wet. I`m sure I`m not as good or as experienced as other actresses, but everybody has to start somewhere.

But it is true that some magazines have a policy to show only a certain amount of black girls on their covers. Naomi is right. It`s not fair, and I wish it would change.

I`ve never done any nudity, but I would do basically anything if a role called for it.

The stadium here in Munich is the best of the lot for me. It is absolutely fantastic, especially the way it lights up a different colour according to who is playing. It`s superb.

I love my engagement ring. It is the only thing I wear to bed!

"I love wearing flat shoes, but I am not one of those girls who walks around in sweat pants and sneakers. I think I have something going on with shoes. Flat shoes. I buy them in several colors at once. High heels are for work and they have always been uncomfortable for me. I`m amazed when I see mothers wearing high heels. If your kids run off you can`t run after them."

"I love being pregnant. You can do whatever you want. You don`t feel guilty, because I used to feel guilty about having a day off. And, you know, something really strange happened to me. Before my pregnancies, I was someone who had to watch their weight."

"I used to work every single day and travel round the world. I worked weekends, I never took one second off. When I met my husband I said, "You know what, this is important. I`m not going to work weekends any more." And when I had kids, I became even more careful. Modelling work is fine because you can do one day here, two days there, you`re never long gone."

"I always wanted to be less tall. When I was at school I was the same height as all of my girlfriends and then suddenly I was turning 12 and almost overnight I got really tall. I became the height I am now from one day to another... and everyone else stayed short. Boys don`t want to be seen with a girl that is taller than them. It was totally isolating because I was different from my friends."

(on turning down appearing in Playboy in the nude): "It`s not that I`m against nudity. I`m German, I`m very open, in Germany they lay in the park naked. It`s just the principle."

"I actually don`t meet very many men because they are, I guess, afraid to approach me or think that I`m from another planet." - on turning 30, to the German magazine Stern

"I know one day I`ll be considered too old. I think 40-year-old women actually look more healthy and fit than some girls in their 20s. I`ve met women who have way better bodies in their 40s because they`ve been working on them for all these years."
