More quotes by Naomi Campbell
My features are completely ethnic.
Naomi Campbell
After Versace was murdered, the first person to call me was Mandela.
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've been doing my job well for 17 years. People must see something in me. Otherwise, I'd be over and out.
Naomi Campbell
Well, when I started modeling in the mid-'80s, the girls who did shows did shows, and the girls who did magazines did magazines. That's what was understood.
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've never had a fear of traveling and going to a new place. I adapt.
Naomi Campbell
I’ve been offered jobs by companies that supported apartheid many times in the 25 years of my modeling career, but I have never taken one of them. I have to refuse that money, because I’m not going to work against my people. They’ve suffered enough.
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 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've never made an excuse of not knowing my father, because I've had great people in my life.
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
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 don't get depressed. When I feel an attack, I withdraw. I disappear, I replenish, and then I come back.
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'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
Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort.
Naomi Campbell
I don't worry about a number. I'm fine with aging.
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.
