I started modeling when I was 13 or 14, I think. We were on the Métro in Paris on a family holiday, and somebody came up to me and asked me to be a model, and that's how it started.

Being sexy is something inside, and not everybody has it.

Every time I wake up I have this huge dreadlock in the back, and I don't know why. It's not like I sleep like a maniac or anything. It gets knots out really easy, and it's handy.

I think of dieting, then I eat pizza.

Going to rehab was the best decision I ever made.

I don't really like the whole pancake look.

If I could have the discipline to be super-skinny, I would be. I think of dieting, then I eat pizza. I'm a woman, and every woman wants to be skinnier — unfortunately.

I can have an androgynous quality.

What should all men know about women? That we are always right and you should just agree.

I find it quite hard for me to pull off. It's so nice to have a tan and look healthy and glowing. I'd quite like to look like Karen Elson - she looks good pale. I feel like I look a bit washed out.

It's not like I'm sitting at home coming up with some secret beauty plan. I try to eat fruit and be healthy. If I'm feeling a bit sickly, I usually get a good spray tan.

We were discussing the fine puppetry of fate.

We want all possible things made actual, the perpetual possibility of perfection, the best of all futures all at once.

To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom.

I've never written the things I'd like to write that I've admired all my life. Maybe one never does.

If I'm away from painting for a week, I get bored.

If waterboarding's OK, why don't we let our police do it to suspects so we can learn what they know? We only seem to waterboard Muslims... Have we waterboarded anyone else?

I am not supposed to be an expert in every field. I am supposed to be an expert in picking experts.

Out of many shared years. One life.

I feel like I've been way overexposed in the press. I'd rather play shows and represent myself in person.

People think I'm nuts because I can sit in a room and be happy by myself.
