“You know, even though I’m in fashion, I don’t, like, do fashion. Fashion isn’t me, even though I work in it. It’s just materialistic stuff.”

I wish it were different, but my body clock wakes me up between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. I was even talking yesterday about how, if I want to get enough sleep, I have to be in bed at 10. That means I’m totally a grandma.

I think modelling was like the university of life, really. You get to travel but you get thrown into this adult world, which is kind of quite scary.

When you’re young, you say it how it is, and even your views are, like, ‘This is totally the truth’, ‘cos you don’t know any difference, so there’s a real confidence in your way of thinking.

I’d like a relationship that was like two tree trunks side by side, strong but independent.

I think that you can’t fake doing the job. All I want to do is deliver. That’s my focus.

For modelling, you have to be such a strong person in a way – or seen to be a strong person, do you know what I mean? But in acting you have to get in touch with all the vulnerability that you carry.

You can never become that thing, because it’s such a projection.

I’ve never had formal drama-school training; I’ve just picked things up as I’ve gone along.

And what I love is that it’s such a creative process, with a bunch of people, and I wanted that more, which is how the acting thing came about.

If you have a connection to someone, it doesn’t matter what their exterior is.

I’d done a few short films before and thought acting was really creative, but when I worked with those guys, I was just like: “Wow!” They had such fun and freedom. They were trying things and stretching themselves. It was so inspiring that I was like: “I definitely want to do this!”

Please don’t fall over, please don’t fall over, please don’t fall over!’

For modeling, I was always creating characters. I dress like a tomboy. So, when I’d go into a shoot, there’d be all these dresses, and I’d say to myself, ‘Okay, this isn’t me. It’s somebody else. So, who is this person?’ Acting is the next level of that.

Something just happens. Everything changes for a reason.

I’m all alone. There has been no man in my life for several months now and although it would be nice to have a boyfriend.

I suppose I have stopped modeling officially. I’ve not done any for a good long while now.

The problem is that ego can convert anything to its own use, even spirituality.

See, even despite pious statements to the contrary, much of the industrialized world has not yet come to terms with the recognition of the fallacy of what I call the strong man syndrome.

A brave man’s hand can speak for itself, it does not even need a woman’s love to hear its music.

Me as a person, I’m not the president of the NBPA (National Basketball Players Association). I don’t even know what to say. I’m not like this perfect, buttoned-up, suit-and-tie guy.

People are worms, and even the God who created them is immensely bored with their antics.

If you don’t have time to do it right you must have time to do it right you must have time to do it over. If you don’t know where you are going, how do you know when you get there? If you don’t risk anything, you risk even more.

There’s something about an American soldier you can’t explain. They’re so grateful for anything, even a film actress coming to see them.

Live right, he reminded himself, and have faith that good things will flow from you even if you never learn of them.
