fashion believe creativity
It's not that I don't believe in creativity and innovation and new ideas, and the creativity that comes with fashion, which I really respect. But one of my biggest concerns is just how cheap we expect everything to be.
creativity ideas clothes
There's an inherent contradiction between appreciating the beauty of clothes and creativity and individuality, and the waste around the ideas of trends and seasons.
cool fashion kate loves
Fashion loves Kate and I think she's cool and she's going to make it through.
art goes people questioned quo status
As the generalization goes about the art industry, people can be really challenging and thought-provoking in their thinking and questioning the status quo, and it's really important that the status quo can be questioned and that there are people doing that.
face job life role signed suggest
That wasn't her job in the first place. She signed her face away, she didn't sign her life away. She didn't suggest she was going be a role model.
both committed degree job lots physically
There is a degree of role-playing in modeling, for sure, and you're also in a high-profile job - there are lots of similarities for sure. But when I'm acting, I've got to try and be present, and I've got to be emotionally committed to a character, both physically and intellectually.
good hindrance modeling rather
With acting, if I'm any good at it, my modeling career would never be a hindrance but would rather be a help. And if I'm not, then it doesn't really matter.
average knows lost realise surprised travel
The average Londoner knows just one neighbour. I travel a lot, and I'm always surprised by the strong sense of community in some countries. We've lost something fundamentally human, and we don't even realise it.
french funny scandal though
It was a scandal when I did French 'Playboy' in 2008, though I was never actually nude in it. I think it's really funny that I'll have a cover of 'Playboy' to show my grandkids.
buying finding less pay people sure
I'm not against people buying clothes; I think clothes are wonderful, and I'm very materialistic myself - but there's a way of finding a compromise. I just think we can buy less and pay more, to make sure people aren't being exploited.
biggest fear glass life looking shining
Life is shining a light through a magnifying glass on me, looking for me to stumble. I think that's my biggest fear.
stifle
I've always gone after fears and tried to stifle them by doing them. It is daunting, but it's more rewarding.
art artistic filmmaking good job love mediums music paintings quite relationship relationships respect sculptures whether
The relationship between art and a job is not quite linear, but I really love any and all manifestations of art, really respect any kind of artistic impulse, whether it's paintings and sculptures or really good filmmaking or music. I really see the relationships between these different mediums as very fluid.
defining role users
As users of the Internet, we all have a role to play in defining what we want it to be.
