More quotes by 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
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 don't get depressed. When I feel an attack, I withdraw. I disappear, I replenish, and then I come back.
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
I dream of a world liberated of all diseases. Ignorance also upsets me a lot. How can one calmly look at the pictures from Rwanda and not instantly want to take action and try to ease the suffering?
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
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
I don't mind flying. I always pass out before the plane leaves the ground.
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
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
My mum [who has breast cancer] is a fighter. I've got that from her, I know she's a fighter.
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
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 have no regrets. I've got my health.
Naomi Campbell
Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort.
Naomi Campbell
I've always been very shy of doing television. I've always said 'no.' Not to be disrespectful to anyone - I didn't want to say 'yes' and then let people down.
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
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
Life's too short to bullshit.
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.
