I don't personally follow trends; I don't even like the idea of trends. I think it's kind of absurd that you have to change every six months, so I always try and buy things that hopefully I'll like forever, and resonate with me.

I kind of see clothes a bit like role-playing, depending what mood I'm in.

There are so many great, great vintage clothes to find; there's a whole territory unexplored there.

There is a degree of role-playing in modeling, for sure, and you're also in a high-profile job - there are lots of similarities for sure. But when I'm acting, I've got to try and be present, and I've got to be emotionally committed to a character, both physically and intellectually.

I found going to school when I was modeling very grounding. It's really kept my perspective on bigger things in my life.

I love yoga. I don't do it as much as I'd like to, but I feel wonderful when I do.

I don't believe there's an afterlife - but I don't believe there's an end to life. Consciousness goes beyond the bounds of your body.

I part-own a bookshop for some strange coincidence of reasons, and it is one of the best things I part-own in my life, or own in my life. I do not know, it just feels great.

I've always cared about issues, always thought through problems. I don't know how much that comes from my personality or my mum.

Modelling, fashion and film have all encouraged me to learn more about issues and to feel empowered enough to do something about them.

With acting, if I'm any good at it, my modeling career would never be a hindrance but would rather be a help. And if I'm not, then it doesn't really matter.

Every time I have to try on a wig for work, I get excited about the colour; I've often thought about going for a platinum bob or also raven black, as it looks so great against pale skin. But I always end up being loyal to my red colour.

Don't overpluck your eyebrows. A make-up artist told me this once, and I've always remembered it.

I think the media are so hypocritical a lot of the time in the way they chastise something just so that they can print it again.

I paint - I tend more to abstraction - but not as much as I would like to because of time. I would love to do sculpture - I've toyed with the idea of fitting in a sculpture course.

People do make assumptions about models. That's their issue, not mine. It doesn't bother me because I'm comfortable enough in my own skin - I know who I am.
