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.

More quotes by 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
Modelling, fashion and film have all encouraged me to learn more about issues and to feel empowered enough to do something about them.
Lily Cole
I think the media are so hypocritical a lot of the time in the way they chastise something just so that they can print it again.
Lily Cole
Giving triggers social cohesion. It's also the basis for an economy not based on money.
Lily Cole
People do make assumptions about models. That's their issue, not mine. It doesn't bother me because I'm comfortable enough in my own skin - I know who I am.
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 take my books everywhere. Plane journeys are a good opportunity to study, or also when I'm having my hair done.
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
I love beautiful things I like having nice clothes, and I can appreciate why other people do - but I've also started to learn more about the impact of what we buy: how things are made, how much you buy and the quality of everything.
Lily Cole
Don't overpluck your eyebrows. A make-up artist told me this once, and I've always remembered it.
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
Talent is crucial. It needs to be driven by motivation, but blind ambition isn't the key.
Lily Cole
The need to protect the environment has emerged as an undeniably important priority for me.
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 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
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
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
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.
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 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.
