Work Romance: "The boyfriend I mentioned the last time I was on Cosmo's cover- he's my agent, JJ. We met when I first left home in Prague to work in Paris. When I came to New York, we decided to live together. I'm away a lot, but that's not really a problem in the relationship- I look forward to being with JJ. And I'm never tempted to cheat. When you're comfortable with someone, you don't look for anyone else." - Daniela Pestova

Weighty Matters: "I'm always watching my weight. I don't eat sweets like cookies or chocolate. Sugarless chewing gum is enough for me. But bread is different .I come from Czechoslovakia, where we eat lots of it, so it's hard to say no. I can't even have one piece, because when I start, I don't stop. For exercise, I now run with my chocolate Lab puppy, Oscar." - Daniela Pestova

Traveller's Blues: "Flying is awful, there's nothing to do when you're up in the air. I bloat up, my skin gets dry, and when we hit turbulence, I'm terrified. I was coming back from Tel Aviv recently, and we had forty minutes of bumps. I got so scared I grabbed a paper and pen and put them in my pocket, just in case we crashed and I needed to write a letter from wherever we landed." - Daniela Pestova

Job Description: "What my day is like depends on where I am. If I'm on location on some island, we usually get up at four in the morning to set up. By seven thirty, we're on the beach working until noon, then we rest. It's not exactly a vacation. While everyone else cools off in the water, I have to stay dry because of my hair and makeup. In Paris, the day could start at 10 A.M. and end at 10 P.M. -they take a long midday break, so they don't care when they finish. But I do, which is why I prefer New York, where it's 9 to 5, modelling is a great education, I'm going to do it for a few more years, definitely." - Daniela Pestova
