My mum used to always dress me and my sister in matching Laura Ashley dresses. And I'd be like, 'Mum, I just wanna wear my Doc Martens!

I think modelling was like the university of life, really. You get to travel but you get thrown into this adult world, which is kind of quite scary.

I've always been really private about my personal life. I don't talk about it.

Image
I dress like a tomboy.

Image
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.

If you have a connection to someone, it doesn't matter what their exterior is.

I know I'm no Whitney Houston.

For modeling, I was always creating characters. I dress like a tomboy. So, when I'd go into a shoot, there'd be all these dresses, and I'd say to myself, 'Okay, this isn't me. It's somebody else. So, who is this person?' Acting is the next level of that.

To be supportive of myself, I have to go with what I want to do. I started acting and I was so mesmerized.

Everything about acting drives me and gives me the need to really try it. It's an evolution - doing the same thing for 12 years is kind of a chunk. Anyone would be up for a little bit of a change. It is so rewarding to do a movie, and so enjoyable. It's hard work, but really wonderful.

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.

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
Image
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.

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
Image
I'm all alone. There has been no man in my life for several months now and although it would be nice to have a boyfriend, I can't just settle for anybody. The fact is I'm choosy, but mainly about a man's character. He has to be interesting, funny and clever. I don't even mind if he's not very good-looking.

I'm like a boomerang, I always come back.

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.

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.

I want to play positive role models - women who mean something to other women.

Fashion isn't me, even though I work in it. It's just materialistic stuff.
Agyness Deyn
Image
I feel like every project that I've been doing, I've learned something about myself. It's like I've cracked something, or my vision of myself has gotten wider. I'm just learning and growing, and overcoming the fear.
