More from Agyness Deyn
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.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn 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.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn I’d like a relationship that was like two tree trunks side by side, strong but independent.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn 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.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn 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.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn You can never become that thing, because it’s such a projection.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn I’ve never had formal drama-school training; I’ve just picked things up as I’ve gone along.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn 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.

Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn 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!”
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn Please don’t fall over, please don’t fall over, please don’t fall over!’
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn 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.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn Something just happens. Everything changes for a reason.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn 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.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn I suppose I have stopped modeling officially. I’ve not done any for a good long while now.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn I dont have that many friends.
