pounds cheese streets
There've been times when I've bought a whole pound of cheese and walked down the street and eaten it in one go.
crazy vintage ties
Women can explore so much in dressing. But if I was a guy I would wear vintage suits constantly. With crazy ties!
photograph fascinated
I would love to photograph Stephen Hawking. I am just fascinated by science, I really am.
worried turning-40
I wasn't worried about turning 40 at all.
ocean sharks broken
I was once stranded on a broken-down boat in shark-infested waters in the middle of the Indian Ocean for five days before we were rescued while doing a 'Vogue' shoot.
silent-films creating body
When you are modelling, you are creating a picture, a still life, perhaps something like a silent film. You convey emotion but you are only using your body.
girl fashion giving
I was the first f****** hippy to enter this business, you know... I was one of the first girls to say I don't give a f*** about this whole supermodel thing.
meaningful sea brain
In modelling, there is no point in trying to prove you have a brain, so why even bother? I'd sooner save the energy for something more meaningful.
hysteria cracks denim
So many times I've wanted to crack up, standing there stiff while seven women are crawling round my toes fixing hems and the designer's having a freak-out because the denim cuffs are crooked. I'm on the verge of hysteria.
beach bikinis goes-on
It's really intimidating to go on the beach in a bikini.
truth statistics ask-me
To tell you the truth, I've never weighed myself. When somebody asks me my statistics or whatever I honestly don't know.
mom children fall
Because your child is your first priority, your're more selective, so in order to let someone into that world, they have to be really special. You cut out the bull - that you might fall for if you didn't have responsibilities.
worry body
Like any woman, I worry about my body.
smile beautiful self
A beautiful person is someone who stays true to themselves and their spirit; someone who is self-confident and can make you smile.
