Los Angeles: Actress-model Eva Herzigova is proud of the fact that she is a self-made person and that she did`nt need the support of anyone else to grow in her career.
The 40-year-old, who started her career in Paris in 1989, says that initially she used to look for a mentor, but now she feels glad that she made it on her own, reports contactmusic.com.
"At the time I longed to meet a mentor, but I never found one. I built my career entirely by myself, ensuring I always did my best at everything I set my mind to. I learnt to know myself as a person and conquered my fears," France`s Madame Figaro magazine quoted Herzigova as saying.
Herzigova is the face of Dior`s luxury skincare line, Capture Totale and has been seen in French films "Les Anges gardiens" and "L`amico del cuore".
