'What we do in life echoes in eternity'

Wow, these shots are great, have you always been dead fit?
[Laughs] I run on the road, long before I dance under the lights. [1]

We get it. Looking that good is not an overnight thing, right?
Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in. [2]

We wish we could shoot you every week but we have a stringent policy about shooting the same girl two weeks in row. Do you have any twin sisters who look like you that we could use next week!?
Family love is messy, clinging, and of an annoying and repetitive pattern, like bad wallpaper. [3]

Er, okay.
Art is not to be taught in Academies. It is what one looks at, not what one listens to, that makes the artist. The real schools should be the streets. [4]

Are you going out with anyone at the moment?
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes. Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall and a preserving sweet. [5]

Tell us about it. What do you do in your spare time? Do you like a night out?
I believe, if we take habitual drunkards as a class, their heads and their hearts will bear an advantageous comparison with those of any other class. There seems ever to have been a proneness in the brilliant and warm-blooded to fall into this vice. [6]

You've got an answer for everything haven't you?
[Silence]

What other stuff are you into?
Everybody believes in something and everybody, by virtue of the fact that they believe in something, uses that something to support their own existence. [7]

What on earth are you talking about?
The ordinary man is an anarchist. He wants to do as he likes. He may want his neighbour to be governed, but he himself doesn't want to be governed. He is mortally afraid of government officials and policemen. [8]

This is getting boring now. Do you just have a box of famous quotes in front of you or something?
[Silence]

What are your plans for the coming year?
“In the first year of Girls Aloud, I went up to a 29in waist. I remember crying because I was 9½st when I’m only 5ft 3in. Jennifer Aniston was doing the Atkins diet at the time and I thought I’d give it a try. I remember I ate the same thing — chicken in cream sauce with a couple of carrots — every night for weeks. I felt just horrible, but I was on this mission.” [9]

I don't want to be rude, Victoria. But I think I know what you're doing, and that last thing you said didn't sound like a famous quote or anything like that. It just sounded like you were repeating something a popular singer had said when asked a really boring question about her non-existent weight problems?
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. [10]

That was kinda vague but better. Thanks for your time Victoria. We hope to see more of you soon on Maxim.co.uk.
Remember Maxim, once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box. [11]
