Fear has been my biggest friend. Fear of the unknown. Whenever I've been afraid, I've been very self-protective.

How awful to be a perfect beauty! How confusing! God. Can you imagine?

I am concerned about ageism and the loss of beauty - the perception that as you grow older, you 'lose your looks,' which I think is diabolical.

I have previously been a very enthusiastic consumer, and I didn't think about the origins of garments enough.

I take my mentoring responsibilities very seriously.

I would say I live half in New York and half in Claridge's. How decadent! How hysterical!

Rejection is, of course, part of any successful model's career, as ironic as that sounds. It's how you pick yourself up and get on with the job.

I am selective. If I do splash out, it's an investment, and I wear things for years.

Growing up, I had an insane crush on Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys.

I have a regular cleansing, toning and moisturising routine.

I lead a very busy life and don't have a lot of time, so my skincare needs to be easy and portable.

To expand your world, love everyone even when no one is perfect.

Without love, the world would be a heap of ruins.

Oh, if only I could hurt with such misery once again, to feel the powers of love here inside my heart, the joys of heaven and the pains of hell!

Oh to be only half as wonderful as my child thought I was when he was small and only half as stupid as my teenager now thinks I am.

Tap into what you don't want to say. Tap into that secret place, despite the agony, despite the personal pain, over and above the fatigue.

How long can you tread water?

Joy is connection... The more areas in your life you can make connection, the better.

Prosperity can't be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers. Democracy can't be just for billionaires and corporations. Prosperity and democracy are part of your basic bargain, too.

I started to listen to Japanese jazz musicians when I went to high school. Some people I listened to were Yosuke Yamashita, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Sadao Watanabe.

Smaller than a breadbox, bigger than a TV remote, the average book fits into the human hand with a seductive nestling, a kiss of texture, whether of cover cloth, glazed jacket, or flexible paperback.
