I put my money in the bank: I have to think of life after modeling, when I’m not famous any more.

In this remark Herzigová frames modeling as a brief, volatile period rather than a permanent identity. The emphasis on putting money in the bank signals prudence and self-management in an industry often associated with glamour and conspicuous consumption. By explicitly anticipating a time “after modeling” and “when I’m not famous any more,” she acknowledges the fragility of celebrity and the way public attention can evaporate. The quote’s significance lies in its demystification of fame: it treats notoriety as temporary and insists on planning for ordinary life beyond the spotlight, suggesting maturity and agency amid a career built on image.
