Q&A with Molly Sims

Do you play in Los Angeles?
If I play, I play between Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. You know who's a great golfer who I've played with? Cheryl Ladd.

Do you have a handicap?
No, not really. I could make something up, but no. I do have a best score. It was a 101. Not great, but not bad.

Some travel advice?
Napa Valley. Calistoga is amazing. If you're going to New York stay at the Lowell Hotel, it's a little hidden hotel in the upper 60s. What else? Hawaii. I'm going tomorrow to Costa Rica doing a surfing thing. A great yoga retreat is Maya Tulum, it's simple and reasonably priced. Santorini. I went to Machu Picchu in Peru for Operation Smile-that was amazing. The Hamptons is always fun. I have a house out there. It was the first piece of real estate I bought. I'm not a Hamptons girl in terms of going to every cool party, but if you get a good group of people and you grill out and go to the beach it's a lot of fun. I'm going there in a few weeks for my birthday. I just finished my third movie and I'm taking a little break.

What about packing advice?
Always pack a great white shirt because you can wear that with anything. Always take black pants. I usually pack two white t-shirts and two black t-shirts. I'm pretty basic.

Being a supermodel, do you consider yourself a high or low maintenance traveler?
I'm a low maintenance traveler. I can pack in one minute.

Who's the most stylish player on the PGA Tour?
Vijay Singh is always put together. Freddie Couples was hot. You know who I loved growing up? I wanted to have his babies -- Paul Azinger. I like 'em preppy. David Duval, what happened to him? Does he play anymore?

Barely.
Maybe, when he lost all of that weight, it messed up his balance.

How much do you fly private?
I don't fly private that much. I flew private a month ago. I don't love flying private. I know that sounds weird to say. The best is first class on United. It's amazing. I'm the girl who would take a cheap flight from London to New York's JFK. I would get in at 1 o'clock in the morning and sleep with my legs attached to my bags in the airport to leave on the 6:30 a.m. flight home to Nashville for four years. I'm 5-freakin'-9 and I went to India, Germany and Paris in two weeks-all on economy.

How do you kill time on a plane?
Are you kidding me? I love time on a plane. No one can talk to you, no one can Blackberry you. I read my book, I make notes, I write scripts, I sleep. It's fantastic.

What book are you reading right now?
I'm reading Speak Softly So You Can Hear by Pam Lewis. My favorite book is The Shadow Of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz. Have you read it?

No.
I swear to God you have to read it! You will love me, and you will thank me.

One movie for a long flight?
I'm into Alfred Hitchcock. "To Catch A Thief"; "The Birds"; "Rear Window." My favorite would be "Dr. Zhivago."

Are you a noise-reduction headphone user?
They're fantastic but just a bit too big to travel with.

Do you get hounded on a plane or do people let you travel in peace?
Most people are nice. I don't travel the way I am on a red carpet. I'm really understated and I don't travel with a big bodyguard. Most people are polite on planes. You know what was really rude? The other night, when I was traveling, there was a corporate CEO type chewing out his assistant on his cell phone with that stupid headpiece. A little tip to that guy-You're louder on that thing than you realize. When you're using the f-word, asking 'Why did you order me a limo?' It's not so good.
