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 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.
Agyness DeynAgyness Deyn A lot of stuff written about me is rubbish. I don’t know where they get it from, sometimes.
