More quotes by Naomi Campbell
I'm determined, and I'm passionate and driven about whatever I commit myself to do. If I don't know something, I'm going to ask, and I've got no problems in asking questions. I never have. People ask me, Are you nervous when you go on the runway? You don't look it. Yes, I am.
Naomi Campbell
Am I bossy? Absolutely. I don't like to lose, and if I'm told 'no', then I find another way to get my 'yes.'
Naomi Campbell
I've never made an excuse of not knowing my father, because I've had great people in my life.
Naomi Campbell
If I'm wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?
Naomi Campbell
It's a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don't like is predictable.
Naomi Campbell
When I first got Yves Saint Laurent Couture, I didn't know how to take off a cape. I would ask Katoucha and Dalma - the real divas of the runway - 'Can you show me?' I've never been afraid to ask for help.
Naomi Campbell
I don't worry about a number. I'm fine with aging.
Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell
In fact, I don't read newspapers any longer.
Naomi Campbell
I was excited to explore and see the world. I'd been traveling since I was 6 months old, so I was never fearful of getting on a plane and going somewhere - even America.
Naomi Campbell
Patrick Demarchelier was the one who got me my first Vogue cover. It was French Vogue - I think in ’87 or ’88. I think I was the first black model to be on the cover of French Vogue, which was shocking to me because when I asked them about it, they were like, Oh, no. We’ve never had that before.
Naomi Campbell
Feeling passionate about something doesn't mean you have to be angry.
Naomi Campbell
I live my life day by day, and that's how I continue to live it.
Naomi Campbell
I've been doing my job well for 17 years. People must see something in me. Otherwise, I'd be over and out.
Naomi Campbell
I don't get depressed. When I feel an attack, I withdraw. I disappear, I replenish, and then I come back.
Naomi Campbell
I've never had a fear of traveling and going to a new place. I adapt.
Naomi Campbell
Nothing's ever come easy to me and nothing ever will and that's okay. I'm used to that. I go with the challenges. I roll with the punches.
Naomi Campbell
My features are completely ethnic.
Naomi Campbell
I'm not going to wallow in self-pity and not live my life. There are always going to be some falls in life for everybody, no matter what career you have. You have to roll with the punches and keep going.
