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

More quotes by 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
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.
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 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
I'm like a boomerang, I always come back.
Agyness Deyn
I don't think a name defines the core of who you are.
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
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
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 know I'm no Whitney Houston.
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.
Agyness Deyn
I'd like a relationship that was like two tree trunks side by side, strong but independent.
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
I definitely believe that love conquers all, yes.
Agyness Deyn
You know, even though I'm in fashion, I don't, like, do fashion. Fashion isn't me, even though I work in it. It's just materialistic stuff. I just want to do whatever makes me happy...Like being totally conscious. Laughing is, like, my favorite thing to do. Being with friends, having fun...being a bit daft.
Agyness Deyn
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.
Agyness Deyn
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.
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
Fashion isn't me, even though I work in it. It's just materialistic stuff.
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.
