There are models who don't eat. That's worrisome - you need the right amount of gas to get going.

I have no problem with whatever the next big look is. Just don't try and tell me that only one look is beautiful.

For me, there has never been one definition of beauty. I think we all have something to offer and when beauty shines from within, there can be no denying it

I learnt just how little it takes to survive, which is why I don’t waste things – food, money, friendships or opportunities.

You can't buy enlightenment, but you can hire a mirror so you can watch it happen.

You don't have to go with the crowd.

To have this opportunity, in light of my familys struggles, made me want to create something lasting and relevant.

The journey is part of the experience - an expression of the seriousness of one's intent. One doesn't take the A train to Mecca.

My favourite plant is the foxglove. I think they are a perfect balance between being a garden plant and a wild plant, as at home in woodland as they are in a city.

I hated missing the end of anything. I was always convinced that the bit I'd miss would be the best part.

A painstaking course in qualitative and quantitative analysis by John Wing gave me an appreciation of the need for, and beauty of, accurate measurement.

Maybe that's what I've based my career on: getting up earlier than everyone else so I get an extra couple of hours.
