Kate Moss
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.
People that don't know me get 'Mossed'. It means, I was gonna go home, but then I just got led astray. In the best possible way, of course. I mean, it's always fun, and a good time.
I am not a fashion freak!
I have a dress-up chest at home. I love to create this fantasy kind of thing.
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.
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've got bowlegs, so if I do a midcalf look, I look bandy.
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.
There was a point when it all really took off and got quite overwhelming, even though I didn't realize it.
People don't hear me talk. They don't expect me to.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I was definitely living fast. I was working, traveling a lot, playing. I didn't stop. It all became unbalanced.
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 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 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 like creating images.
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 have made some of the best friends that I've got in this business.
Calvin was very clever. We did the pictures and made the commercial, and that really worked.
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.
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.
I have met almost everyone I've wanted to meet.
It's all about the blanket. Blanket, pillow, and red wine. You should always be asleep on a plane.
Yeah, I like clothes, but I hardly ever go shopping. Hardly ever!
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.

In a way, it's like the photographer always has his vision of me. The pictures that I'm known for are not really my image, they're always the photographer's vision of me. I can look a hundred different ways, but what people see of me in pictures is not really my image.Collection: People
