"I had the pleasure to work for major films like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Jackass 2, Say it in Russian and recently Blue Powder...from those films I've learned to become more versatile and never expect anything."

Lucinda Wedge

"Versatility is very important in this industry, when you go to a casting, usually the clients want to see what they are looking for, most of the time they don't want to think of how you would look if you were more edgy or more commercial, they just want to see it. Make sure to always have your personality portrayed in all your pictures, that would be your "signature" and will help you to stand out from others. As a model you have to be able to act, photo-shoot are like movies, most of the time they will ask to portray an emotion. So yes, I would advise models to pursue other fields in the industry."

"I am currently hosting a show called L' Effleur des Sens translated as "caresses the senses', the show arouses the imagination and reinvents the stage as foreplay to whatever happens behind closed doors. It s a French cabaret with visual seduction. Eight gorgeous girls and a host, my job is to seduce the crowd through the show, take them on a fantasy trip allowing them to open their imagination and their mind. I started the show 3 years ago, my friend who is the director (Cati Jean) asked me if I could host the show, I told her yes even though I didn't have any experience in it...She gave me the opportunity of doing it and now it's a very successful show, I got many reviews and my career is going towards hosting which I didn't plan but just happen to be the right direction... So, readers don't be afraid to try new things, it will always come your ways if you believe in yourself."

"Things I can't live without: Food - Sun - Water - Family - Friends."

Oded Levy

"Modeling is not only about the look, how pretty you are but more about personality, if you're willing to live this type of life, traveling, meeting new people anytime, if you're not afraid of rejection, and reevaluating yourself everyday..all those are the questions you should ask yourself before trying modeling, it is a real cruel world! like what Heidi Klum say "You are in or You are out" within a day. You must have a real strong personality and understand that it's not only about your look but if this is really right for you."

"You don't catch dreams, dreams come true only if you work really hard on it and believe in it."

"Oh la la! The best thing about Paris. First I would have to say the food!!! I do miss the cheese and yogurt, the smell of the fresh bread, the patisseries, the chocolate, I could go on and on...Second the architecture. I had the pleasure to travel all over the world, but Paris has this unique architecture continuity...It feels like you're in a big village with a very strong history. Third would be the fashion, you can go anywhere in Paris and everyone has style, you might not like it but it is almost like the architecture of Paris, there is continuity."

Gregg started modeling when he was 18, and that was back in Paris. His mom was a model during her younger years, but for some reasons Modeling was really something that Gregg did not plan, it just happened. "I have been a scout ( in the fashion industry, scout means someone who is in a search of new talents ) while I was still studying. I didn't join the agency straight away cause I wanted to finish school, which I did. Do not rush into something if you are not ready for it, that would be my little advice." Gregg further went on to take up a four year Bachelor's degree at Graphic Design, at that time, he is already modeling in Paris, London and Milan. However he knows how to balance his priorities, "I wanted to have my bachelor degree and this didn't stop me for booking major campaign like Giorgio Armani or walk the runway for Vivienne westwood... Education is really important and i knew some people didn't have the ability to study in others countries, so my education was really important to me as much as modeling." On a lighter side, when asked if he can share some oops moments, Gregg remarked: "Too many oops moments to share with you ;p"
