More quotes by Agyness Deyn
I suppose each project is a new thing, so there's all this excitement and nerves about this new thing. Every single thing is like a new thing, so it's never what I expect. I don't know what to expect for the next thing. There are always different people. It's interesting.
Agyness Deyn
Being such a tomboy growing up, that was one thing that changed me as a person, as well. It broadened me, like me cracking myself open in a certain way.
Agyness Deyn
I want to play positive role models - women who mean something to other women.
Agyness Deyn
I suppose I have stopped modeling officially. I've not done any for a good long while now. I think it was four years ago when my feelings were changing towards the industry. I didn't hate it, but I was yearning to do something different. I was on a gradient. It was a gradual thing.
Agyness Deyn
When you're young, you say it how it is, and even your views are, like, 'This is totally the truth', 'cos you don't know any difference, so there's a real confidence in your way of thinking.
Agyness Deyn
I get on with all my exes, so there's nothing I need to forget about. I don't know - life is shorter than it seems.
Agyness Deyn
I'd like a relationship that was like two tree trunks side by side, strong but independent.
Agyness Deyn
I never knew modelling was what I wanted to do. I was just meandering through life having fun, having a laugh with my friends.
Agyness Deyn
When I first started modelling, as I was walking down the catwalk I just thought, 'Please don't fall over, please don't fall over, please don't fall over!'
Agyness Deyn
Well, I suppose I've never really had a lifestyle that needs upkeep. I don't get cabs I'm on the Tube with my Oyster card.
Agyness Deyn
A lot of stuff written about me is rubbish. I don't know where they get it from, sometimes.
Agyness Deyn
For modelling, you have to be such a strong person in a way – or seen to be a strong person, do you know what I mean? But in acting you have to get in touch with all the vulnerability that you carry.
Agyness Deyn
I love 'Breathless,' and 'Paris, Texas,' and 'Badlands.' I was obsessed with those films in my teens. I remember watching 'Badlands' and being amazed that there were these scenes in which nobody said anything and the silence told the whole story.
Agyness Deyn
I'm not oblivious to that connotation of changing careers, so I'm just going in and doing the job. I think that you can't fake doing the job. All I want to do is deliver. That's my focus.
Agyness Deyn
I don't think a name defines the core of who you are.
Agyness Deyn
Not just in modeling, but in society, there's so much pressure about what a woman should be, and, of course, it's just so unobtainable. You can never become that thing, because it's such a projection.
Agyness Deyn
If you have a connection to someone, it doesn't matter what their exterior is.
Agyness Deyn
I can't do modeling disconnected. And I thought, What do I like? What do I love about modeling? And what I love is that it's such a creative process, with a bunch of people, and I wanted that more, which is how the acting thing came about.
Agyness Deyn
I've always been really private about my personal life. I don't talk about it.
Agyness Deyn
For me, being onstage for an hour and a half, my confidence was really huge for me. Doing eight shows a week for a run, I was like: I'm actually doing this. And now I feel more confident going into something.
