hate roots teeth
I hate dentists. That's why my tooth fell out. I was in the middle of a root canal and wouldn't go back, so it just dropped out when I was in the middle of Fifth Avenue. I had to do the Calvin Klein show without the tooth.
book thinking people
I think I have a good rapport with the people I work with and that really helps. If you like working with people and you always have a good time and you always do good work, then they're going to book you again. I like doing what I do.
shows showing-off
I'm not a show-off by nature.
school wanted modelling
I hadn't even thought about what I wanted to do when I left school because I was only 14 when I started modelling.
silly important want
Plan what you are going to wear ahead of time. If you're going to an important dinner, you should always plan what you're going to wear because you don't want to look silly.
trying normal honest
I try and be as normal as I can, but it's all pretty mental to be honest.
skins turning-40 feels
I definitely feel more comfortable in my own skin since turning 40.
daughter style instinct
My daughter, Lila, is my style critic. She'll say, "No, Mummy, you can't wear that." She's very good. I do trust her instinct.
girl being-yourself stories
You have to be yourself, as models come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. There are girls out there who are more voluptuous and they work better for different sorts of stories.
dressings modelling
Dressing is like modelling - you can constantly adapt.
black red dresses
Most of the time I dress depending on my mood. I just throw on whatever I feel like wearing at the time, which tends to come from the palette of black, grey or red.
new-york heart londoners
I do love New York. But I'm a Londoner at heart.
real home missing
I always have a pair of Ray-Bans in my bag and lots of pairs at home because they seem to go missing. They're a real staple.
girl strong thinking
I wouldn't want [my daughtr] to be a model. I don't think it's the best industry really for young girls. Unless you're really strong, it can really f**k you up.
