“No one should ever be ashamed of going to meetings. It’s healthy, it’s therapeutic and it’s the right way to live.”

The word reality scared me. I just looked at reality as everybody follows me around with a camera, and I’m not that kind of person. I fought for my privacy in England. And I didn’t see another way it could be done.

It’s a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don’t like is predictable.

Am I bossy? Absolutely. I don’t like to lose, and if I’m told ‘no’, then I find another way to get my ‘yes.’

I look at modeling as something I’m doing for black people in general.

I don’t get depressed. When I feel an attack, I withdraw. I disappear, I replenish, and then I come back.

The chocolate and crisps come in at times. You have to allow the little things that make you happy. I’m not extreme about what I eat.

I work very hard and I’m worth every cent.

If I’m wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?

My features are completely ethnic.

I was born in London and raised in Rome until I was 4. Then we went back to London, where I went to school.

I like to control everything, and you cannot control everything. You have to at some point say, ‘I let go and I’m going to let the cards fall where they fall; For a #‎ controlfreak , it’s hard.

[Castro is] a source of inspiration to the world.

I’m not going to wallow in self-pity and not live my life. There are always going to be some falls in life for everybody, no matter what career you have. You have to roll with the punches and keep going.

I cannot drink or do anything that changes the mind.

Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort.

Life’s too short to bullshit.

My body will not be a tomb for other creatures.

Depression is deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad. Sad hurts but it’s a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel.

Our health is the most important thing we have.

Excellence on the field starts in the kitchen and the gym.

Health must always come first. It is an exceptional moment and we must follow the indications of both health organizations and public authorities.

Staying healthy and hygienic is important.

I heard a definition once: Happiness is health and a short memory! I wish I’d invented it, because it is very true.

My dream is that all the world’s children have the right to live in a safe, comfortable environment in which their health and education are guaranteed.
