Jam! I love my jam. I’ve just had a batch of it come through, I’ve been making it.
I’d go on the train to castings, changing from my school uniform on the train. I carried on like that for a few years, getting jobs in bits and pieces.
When people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I’m just a face or a body to them.
I really work. I like feeling that I’ve nailed it, and we’ve got the picture.
You’ve got to stay ahead of the game to be able to stay in it.
I always have a pair of Ray-Bans in my bag and lots of pairs at home because they seem to go missing. They’re a real staple.
I hadn’t even thought about what I wanted to do when I left school because I was only 14 when I started modelling.
I think I have a good rapport with the people I work with and that really helps. If you like working with people and you always have a good time and you always do good work, then they’re going to book you again. I like doing what I do.
I hate dentists. That’s why my tooth fell out. I was in the middle of a root canal and wouldn’t go back, so it just dropped out when I was in the middle of Fifth Avenue. I had to do the Calvin Klein show without the tooth.
Most of the time I dress depending on my mood. I just throw on whatever I feel like wearing at the time, which tends to come from the palette of black, grey or red.
I definitely feel more comfortable in my own skin since turning 40.
I do love New York. But I’m a Londoner at heart.
Dressing is like modelling – you can constantly adapt.
You have to be yourself, as models come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. There are girls out there who are more voluptuous and they work better for different sorts of stories.
If I’m going to an event I make sure I plan ahead so that I don’t have a fashion crisis.
I think fashion in motion is going to happen. I think that’s the way things are going, but there are people who will still want to see a picture and to be able to hold it.
Plan what you are going to wear ahead of time. If you’re going to an important dinner, you should always plan what you’re going to wear because you don’t want to look silly.
I’m not a show-off by nature.
My daughter, Lila, is my style critic. She’ll say, “No, Mummy, you can’t wear that.” She’s very good. I do trust her instinct.
When I’m in the country with all of the kids around and cooking, that’s when I’m most relaxed. When I’m in the country I like to cook.
I try and be as normal as I can, but it’s all pretty mental to be honest.
