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 love England, especially the food. There's nothing I like more than a lovely bowl of pasta.
Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell
I don't worry about a number. I'm fine with aging.
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 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 love mentoring young girls. I've always been like that.
Naomi Campbell
I cannot drink or do anything that changes the mind.

I've been doing my job well for 17 years. People must see something in me. Otherwise, I'd be over and out.
