“Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue… and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.”

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.

I’m happy with the way I did my career, I wouldn’t change it in a million years. I got to do the real grafting and learning from real models when I was younger – how to open up a jacket, walk, and such.

In fact, I don’t read newspapers any longer.

In charity, every little bit works. You can’t change the world. You can’t do everything. But you sure try to bring awareness and do as much as you can.
