More quotes by Naomi Campbell
In fact, I don't read newspapers any longer.
Naomi Campbell
I think it's always good to learn a craft from scratch the real way, so that you've learned it from the basis, the raw bones, and then you have that to fall back on. I personally wouldn't want it any other way.
Naomi Campbell
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
I don't worry about a number. I'm fine with aging.
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
If I'm wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?
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'm happy with the way I did my career, I wouldn't change it in a million years. I got to do the real grafting and learning from real models when I was younger - how to open up a jacket, walk, and such.
Naomi Campbell
My features are completely ethnic.
Naomi Campbell
Yes, I did and a lot of my friends who are in the same program as I were very much supportive, and the most important thing they said to me is do not let this interfere with what you have to do in taking car of yourself. That was the most important thing.
Naomi Campbell
I do feel that I'm talking to someone who's in a totally different place from where I was when I started modeling. I was fortunate enough to have the wonderful designers and amazing photographers around me, and editors that I knew, and if I wanted to ask a question, I asked them. So that gap has broadened a bit.
Naomi Campbell
I don't like workouts that make you bulky.
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
I look at modeling as something I'm doing for black people in general.
Naomi Campbell
I don't always wear underwear. When I'm in the heat, especially, I can't wear it. Like, if I'm wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?
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 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'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'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
After Versace was murdered, the first person to call me was Mandela.
