More quotes by Lily Cole
Marilyn Monroe and Vivienne Leigh are real icons of mine. In terms of visual culture, they are both so iconic. There weren't any paparazzi shots of them falling out of taxis, so they will always look so incredible.
Lily Cole
I'll always try to follow my heart into things I love, and modelling is not something I'm dreaming of pursuing forever.
Lily Cole
The narrative of so many fairy tales are timeless in so many different cultures, and they have been since the dawn of man. They represent escapism, but they all feature themes that have such poignancy in a modern world.
Lily Cole
I was of the type who gets bullied rather than the one who does the bullying, which I'm glad about. I'd rather be that than a bully.
Lily Cole
America has had an influence on me, as has going out with a Cuban-American guy and having lots of American friends. But I am still fundamentally British and speak with a British accent and feel very English.
Lily Cole
I don't think of myself as a role model for others, but I like to live my life by my own integrity. So, in that sense, I might be a positive influence. I do believe you should get over your insecurities and just try to be the best you can.
Lily Cole
I have made a living off the way I look, and I have really learnt to accept myself for being unusual.
Lily Cole
I started modeling at 14. It's simple. You respond to what the photographer wants and wear other people's ideas. I got bored with it, though, so I went to university.
Lily Cole
Giving triggers social cohesion. It's also the basis for an economy not based on money.
Lily Cole
When I was younger, I definitely did face anti-ginger prejudice. As a child, all teasing hurts, whether it's because you're fat or a different race or have red hair. I had enough comments from a couple of people to make it a sore point.
Lily Cole
I paint - I tend more to abstraction - but not as much as I would like to because of time. I would love to do sculpture - I've toyed with the idea of fitting in a sculpture course.
Lily Cole
I have to admit I've always had quite a complex relationship with modeling and with the idea of advertising: not always knowing what I'm advertising and selling.
Lily Cole
Don't overpluck your eyebrows. A make-up artist told me this once, and I've always remembered it.
Lily Cole
There's an inherent contradiction between appreciating the beauty of clothes and creativity and individuality, and the waste around the ideas of trends and seasons.
Lily Cole
Production chains, how consumers can drive change: all these things may seem at odds with fashion, but arguably, they're not.
Lily Cole
As the generalization goes about the art industry, people can be really challenging and thought-provoking in their thinking and questioning the status quo, and it's really important that the status quo can be questioned and that there are people doing that.
Lily Cole
I love yoga. I don't do it as much as I'd like to, but I feel wonderful when I do.
Lily Cole
I've always cared about issues, always thought through problems. I don't know how much that comes from my personality or my mum.
Lily Cole
I take my books everywhere. Plane journeys are a good opportunity to study, or also when I'm having my hair done.
Lily Cole
I usually have a lip balm in my bag and mascara as well. I don't really wear much make-up, but I like mascara because I've got fair colouring.
