“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.”

You watch her, and you can’t help but notice all of that about her. She’s so influential.

I’ve always got on with lads, more than I have with girls.

Laughing is, like, my favorite thing to do.

Fashion isn’t me, even though I work in it. It’s just materialistic stuff.

Modelling is only about the look. In acting, it’s the feel that matters.

Well, I suppose I’ve never really had a lifestyle that needs upkeep. I don’t get cabs; I’m on the Tube with my Oyster card.

I just want to do whatever makes me happy…Like being totally conscious. Laughing is, like, my favorite thing to do. Being with friends, having fun…being a bit daft.

It is captivating, isn’t it? England has such a great scene of electronic music, and I think that was very prominent in Pusher, and the nightlife was the beat of the film.

Anyone would be up for a little bit of a change. It is so rewarding to do a movie, and so enjoyable. It’s hard work, but really wonderful.

My mum used to always dress me and my sister in matching Laura Ashley dresses. And I’d be like, ‘Mum, I just wanna wear my Doc Martens!

I’m not the new anything; I’m just Agyness.

I don’t really go to fashion parties; they’re not my scene.

Everything about acting drives me and gives me the need to really try it. It’s an evolution – doing the same thing for 12 years is kind of a chunk.

I want to play positive role models – women who mean something to other women.

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.

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.

He’s passing the ball like Idi Amin.

I re-read a lot of books that I like a lot. There are some books that I try to reread every couple of years. A good book changes for you every few years because you are in a different place in your own life.

Like the idea that every night might be the night before the world ends.

We need people like me in the Labour party.

I don’t like people who drain my time and energy.

Like the air we breathe or like the passage of time, is central to our existence as intelligent beings.

Just try to do music that you like and you are proud of and not just whatever you think it’s going to take to get you on the radio.

The very best people are like that. They don’t entangle you like flypaper.
