When you are modelling, you are creating a picture, a still life, perhaps something like a silent film. You convey emotion but you are only using your body.
Modelling is a silly, crazy business.
There've been times when I've bought a whole pound of cheese and walked down the street and eaten it in one go.
Some designers retain a sense of humour about what they do, but others are deathly serious and have no life outside of it; they're lying awake night after night constructing dresses in their heads.
So many times I've wanted to crack up, standing there stiff while seven women are crawling round my toes fixing hems and the designer's having a freak-out because the denim cuffs are crooked. I'm on the verge of hysteria.
I was once stranded on a broken-down boat in shark-infested waters in the middle of the Indian Ocean for five days before we were rescued while doing a 'Vogue' shoot.
I always loved the style of Jean Seberg, Jane Birkin and Marilyn Monroe.
I would love to photograph Stephen Hawking. I am just fascinated by science, I really am.
I don't look at fashion the way other people do.
I like people who dress quirkly and differently. Like in womenswear, thank god for Helena Bonham Carter!
Women can explore so much in dressing. But if I was a guy I would wear vintage suits constantly. With crazy ties!
I felt like I was in the best photography school in the world - I had Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Richard Avedon and Irving Penn teach me.
It's really intimidating to go on the beach in a bikini.
If I have an hour in a city, I go to vintage stores first because it's so much cooler to find a piece that is unique. I love the thought of some girl having worn it before and living her life in it.
I am a serious food lover and Peruvian cuisine is one of the best in the world.
Like any woman, I worry about my body.
I want to live to be 120. That's when I will start worrying about my age.
I wasn't worried about turning 40 at all.
From the minute I wake up until I go to bed I think about food.
I find it utterly bizarre that total strangers write about your life in a completely fictional manner.
