Kate Moss Quotations

I'm not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I've never been to design school. I can't sketch. I can't cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf.

I was 14 when I started modeling. At the end of that first day my mum said, If you want to do this, you're on your own because I'm not traipsing around London ever again like that. It's a nightmare.

I was never anorexic, so I was never that skinny. I was never bony-bony. But I remember thinking, I don't want to be this skinny.

Now I'm being blamed not only for anorexia but for lung cancer. - On being a social smoker.

I want to apologize to all of the people I have let down because of my behavior which has reflected badly on my family, friends, co-workers, business associates and others.

Then finally I said, 'Okay, well, I want to know all the details. I want creative input. I want to be consulted. I want to know what they're doing and who's involved. And I want to see the space.' So they took me to see it, and then I realized it was major! All these red flags on the Rue de Rivoli with my name on them right by the Louvre!

People think your success is just a matter of having a pretty face. But it's easy to be chewed up and spat out. You've got to stay ahead of the game to be able to stay in it.

What people say isn't going to stop me. I have to do things for myself.

It sounds really corny but I think that if you're beautiful inside it shows on the outside, for sure.

Well, I met Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan in the space of 15 minutes. Frank Sinatra kissed me on the lips. He kissed me on the lips. And then he gave me a filterless cigarette. And then I met Bob Dylan. I came off all lightheaded and had to go sit on his dressing-room steps.

Going to the gym wouldn't be on my list of favorite things to do.

It was kind of boring for me to have to eat. I would know that I had to, and I would.

I would have wanted to be a rock star, a lead singer, if I wasn't a model. I'd go touring in a bus with my band. In my next life, that's the plan.

Americans are really obsessed with their teeth being white and straight, aren't they? I saw this little girl the other day with one of those whole head braces. Elastic all the way around! How traumatizing for a child to have to wear one of those! You look like a monster.

Once I was walking from The Mercer in New York - because otherwise I don't walk anywhere - and this woman paparazzo who was following me fell over a fire hydrant and her whole tooth went through her lip. I leant over her, saying, 'Are you all right?' and she was still taking pictures.

I was definitely living fast. I was working, traveling a lot, playing. I didn't stop. It all became unbalanced.

Everyone's projecting onto you, or you feel like everyone is judging you. I feel like I'm being judged a lot of the time. You become really self-conscious.

Actors do like watching girls parade down the runway for some reason.

Jam! I love my jam. I've just had a batch of it come through, I've been making it.

You go to a show, and there's no food at all, so if you're doing shows back to back, you can forget eating. I remember standing up in the bath one day, and there was a mirror in front of me, and I was so thin! I hated it. I never liked being that skinny.

When you're shooting you go to references in your mind. You think about how you should stand in these particular clothes, or how you should move. You think about the different characters you're playing, really.

I'll never forget that show season. It was completely mad. I was staying between Christy and Naomi's rooms and it was all limos and the Ritz Hotel and all that kind of business.

It's all about the blanket. Blanket, pillow, and red wine. You should always be asleep on a plane.

I thought it was quite vain to say, I want to be a model.

It is quite amazing what I didn't feel after a while. I didn't really want to feel things.

My daughter Lila loves the smell of gasoline - she always says, 'Mummy, keep the door open,' when I'm filling up the car. I've heard it is one of the most preferred scents in the world - maybe that's something to study for my next fragrance!

I have a dress-up chest at home. I love to create this fantasy kind of thing.

I have made some of the best friends that I've got in this business.

I really work. I like feeling that I've nailed it, and we've got the picture.

Lila can't be a model until she's at least 21. She is already a mini-me - it is scary. She already has her own beauty kit.

People don't hear me talk. They don't expect me to.

When people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I'm just a face or a body to them.

All of a sudden to get all of this attention, and to be away from home and working all the time was hard. I was on planes all the time. I didn't see my friends. I cried a lot. It was quite terrifying.

I was a scapegoat. The media had to put responsibility on somebody, and I was chosen. They felt free to say that because someone was thin they were anorexic, which is ridiculous.

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.

All of a sudden I was living what is perceived to be the model life. It was just full-on, 24 hours a day. It was work all the time. And there's always a party to go to.

I edit things down, and I've got a massive dressing room in the country, and so all the things I'm not going to wear but don't want to get rid of go there. And all the stuff I want to get rid of goes to Oxfam.

I kind of lost interest in school. I was never really that interested anyway. I was never academic. I didn't really go to school as much as I should have.

I started going back and forth, New York, London, New York, London. I wasn't looking back at all. I was doing tons of jobs. Working, working, working, working.

I was amazed at the support that I got when I was in there. And when I came out people knew that I was back on track. I was interested in working again.

I was really nervous, intimidated by the whole thing-all the people and all the buzzing, and all the sitting around waiting. I felt really small in this huge place.

Modeling can be a bit brain damaging. Starting my own brand was what I needed to do. I only model if there are such good jobs that you don't want to say no to. All that dressing up makes me say, 'What do I want to wear?' and, 'What do I want to do with Topshop?' It all kind of leads into the other things.

There's always a dinner to go to. There're always loads of people around. I was having fun working with my friends. For a while it all just kind of rolled together in a great way.

I had tried to get focused on other things. But I always ended up back in the same place, and it wasn't making me happy. I needed to get the focus back.

Calvin was very clever. We did the pictures and made the commercial, and that really worked.

I have met almost everyone I've wanted to meet.

There was a point when it all really took off and got quite overwhelming, even though I didn't realize it.

Now I can walk into a room full of people I don't know and do my job. That's quite a massive thing to learn, I think.

The first time I went to Johnny Depp's house in LA is when I realized what I was getting myself into. I knew he was famous, but I didn't really know what that entailed.

Yeah, I like clothes, but I hardly ever go shopping. Hardly ever!

I also accept that there are various personal issues that I need to address,

I take full responsibility for my actions. I also accept that there are various personal issues that I need to address and have started taking the difficult, yet necessary, steps to resolve them. I want to apologize to all of the people I have let down because of my behavior which has reflected badly on my family, friends, co- workers, business associates and others.

I think we've come a long way because five years ago the world was in denial, and now we get Kate Moss getting caught and she says, 'Mea culpa. I'm sorry.' We live in a world in which we forgive and we grow. I'm acknowledging her heroism because I think it's fantastic she stood up and said, 'Yes, I did it.'

We are saddened by her current circumstances and hope she overcomes her problems as soon as possible.

There's so much of it about. You have to deal with the bigger problem, not just blame her.

So, your idea of a good night is to go to bed early with a book and a milky drink, is it? What kind of example is that for the 19-year-olds who have no idea how to behave? You take this powder and get it up your nose pronto, young lady!

Companies want Kate Moss for the whiff of danger. If she overdoses then so much the better, she will be an icon. I'd have thought it would have made her even more of a commodity. With Burberry she could be in trouble: it's quite wholesome.

Dabbling is fine but when I was bang on it, that wasn't a nice time ... I still drink but I don't do drugs.

Supermodel Kate Moss has left a U.S. clinic after undergoing a program of therapy,

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.

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 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.

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'm not a show-off by nature.

I hadn't even thought about what I wanted to do when I left school because I was only 14 when I started modelling.

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 try and be as normal as I can, but it's all pretty mental to be honest.

I definitely feel more comfortable in my own skin since turning 40.

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.

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.

Dressing is like modelling - you can constantly adapt.

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 do love New York. But I'm a Londoner at heart.

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 wouldn't want [my daughtr] to be a model. I don't think it's the best industry really for young girls. Unless you're really strong, it can really f**k you up.

If I'm going to an event I make sure I plan ahead so that I don't have a fashion crisis.

I havent partied since...last Friday!

I feel like I become somebody else when I do the pictures. I don't like doing pictures as myself. I like to be made into somebody different.

I don’t want to be myself, ever. I’m terrible at a snapshot. Terrible. I blink all the time. I’ve got facial Tourette’s. Unless I’m working and in that zone, I’m not very good at pictures, really,

When Lila was born, "I felt like, now I've got a partner in crime".

I don't want people to know what is true all the time and that's what keeps the mystery.

I never did a dirty armpit. You can look dirty, but you can't be dirty.

For makeup, a bit of blusher — what you call bronzer — a bit of an eye, and an eyelash curler.

You try and remember, but it never works.

Now I'm being blamed not only for anorexia but for lung cancer

It's neurotic fat women who hate me--they're stupid

I wanted it to be kind of dreamy and 1920s, when everything is soft-focus,

I don't want to be this skinny.

I got tired of feeling like Dracula. I wanted to see some daylight, and not just at six o’clock in the morning.

I don't really go to clubs anymore. I’m actually quite settled. Living in Highgate with my dog and my husband and my daughter! I’m not a hell-raiser. But don’t burst the bubble. Behind closed doors, for sure I’m a hell-raiser.

I've got a couple of those Gossard Wonderbras. They are so brilliant, I swear, even I get cleavage with them.

I don't do any Class A -especially not cocaine - after seeing what it does to people.

A celebrity now is someone who's on the telly.

I guess I'm adaptable. You know, I turn up at work and [photographers] can kind of do what they want with me, really.

They portray me as all these crazy things and I'm so not like that. I don't have entourages, I'm as normal as you can get in this lifestyle.

I always have this fear that one day you are going to discover that I'm not as great as you once thought I was. Nothing feels as good as skinny feels.

That picture of me running down the beach - I'll never forget doing that, because I made the hairdresser, who was the only man on the shoot, turn his back.

I don't think modelling is a career I'm going to pursue.

I'm not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I'm alright.

I don't get why it would be interesting. I'm not that different. And also, now with Instagram and everything, everyone's so on their phones that even when I'm in a restaurant like this, where you wouldn't expect it, someone will come up and ask to get a picture with me and I'm like, 'No!'
