ladylike less life photos private
My private life is a lot more ladylike and less sultry than the fashion photos I imagine.
ask great people photo picture streets
I am just doing photo shoots. It's not something that extraordinary. I'm not a great artist, I'm not writing books, I'm not a painter, and people in the streets ask me for a picture or a note, and I say, 'Why?'
thinking needs photographer
I do go very fast. I think if I don't go fast it's going to be boring. That's what photographers need to do.
art bunch learn
In Japan, you can learn how to make a bunch of flowers. This is an art. Tea ceremony, it's an art.
people
I know that people in fashion and people in general hate to be filmed.
beauty
I'm not bad-looking, but I'm not a beauty, either.
invites love
I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist.
kate might
If Kate Moss hadn't been booked when she was 14, Kate Moss might not exist.
I never think I have to prove something.
peace run women
I want more women to run countries. There'd be more peace on Earth.
arc joan runway
I want to be the Joan of Arc of fashion. I want to be the link between the runway and the real woman.
It's interesting to know how much you are worth.
call maybe
The reason I call my book 'Irreverent' is because there were a lot of pictures that were very irreverent. Maybe I could call my book 'Forgiving' because maybe I made a lot of errors, too.
speak
To see yourself on the big screen, you're big, you hate your voice, your vocabulary. You say the same words, you speak bad.
