want lots-of-money
I make a lot of money, but I don't want to talk about that.
flying mind planes
I don't mind flying. I always pass out before the plane leaves the ground.
flower dresses underwear
I don't always wear underwear. When I'm in the heat, especially, I can't wear it. Like, if I'm wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?

No one should ever be ashamed of going to meetings. It's healthy, it's therapeutic and it's the right way to live.

I have no regrets. I've got my health.
icons moss kate
There is only going to be one Kate Moss. Kate is an icon.
girl school one-day
Well, in brief, I was discovered by a lady called Beth Boldt. She had also been a model. She used to take pictures of the girls she found, and she took a picture of me one day in my school uniform, and it all kind of started from there.
loyal designer stills
I loved watching so many of the great designers I've worked with do what they do. That's why I'm still loyal to the designers that I've known since I was 16.
chocolate littles little-things
The chocolate and crisps come in at times. You have to allow the little things that make you happy. I'm not extreme about what I eat.
fashion jobs new-orleans
I started this charity, Fashion for Relief, in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina happened. New Orleans was actually the first place I visited in the United States. It was one of my first big jobs, a shoot for British 'Elle.' It was April 14, 1986.
facts newspapers
In fact, I don't read newspapers any longer.
thinking black firsts
Patrick Demarchelier was the one who got me my first 'Vogue' cover. It was French 'Vogue' - I think in '87 or '88. I think I was the first black model to be on the cover of French Vogue, which was shocking to me because when I asked them about it, they were like, 'Oh, no. We've never had that before.'

I was born in London and raised in Rome until I was 4. Then we went back to London, where I went to school.
stupid people black
I look at modeling as something I'm doing for black people in general.
