More quotes by Naomi Campbell
I've never had a fear of traveling and going to a new place. I adapt.
Naomi Campbell
I do want someone, need someone. You're right. And, when I'm with you, I feel like I'm a better person. I feel happier. Less alone, less lonely. But it's not as simple as that, is it? Being with someone?
Naomi Campbell
I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth.
Naomi Campbell
Well, in brief, I was discovered by a lady called Beth Boldt. She had also been a model. She used to take pictures of the girls she found, and she took a picture of me one day in my school uniform, and it all kind of started from there.
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.

When I wanted to change the concept of what I was doing, I needed to be more public because it involved more people to collaborate. And I'm doing television now. I have to be honest, I was very afraid to do TV. I said no for 10 years.
Naomi Campbell
No one should ever be ashamed of going to meetings. It's healthy, it's therapeutic and it's the right way to live.
Naomi Campbell
I started this charity, Fashion for Relief, in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina happened. New Orleans was actually the first place I visited in the United States. It was one of my first big jobs, a shoot for British Elle. It was April 14, 1986.
Naomi Campbell
I don't work out as much as I should, but I do believe that it's a healthy mind as well as a healthy body that keeps me fit, sound and calm.
Naomi Campbell
I don't worry about a number. I'm fine with aging.
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
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
After Versace was murdered, the first person to call me was Mandela.
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
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
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.
Naomi Campbell
I look at modeling as something I'm doing for black people in general.
Naomi Campbell
I was always told to avoid being famous just for being famous. That's something that has always stuck in my mind. I like to work. It helps if you like what you do.
Naomi Campbell
