More quotes by Twiggy
There's no need to dress like everyone else. It's much more fun to create your own look.
Twiggy
[On her thinness:] It's not what you'd call a figure, is it?
Twiggy
If you just say nothing, there is no way they can make you talk.
Twiggy
Life is about making choices: you can either spend three quid on a glossy magazine or you can spend it clearing three square metres of minefield and help give people their lives back. As simple as that.
Twiggy
Back in the '60s, there was a car sticker that read, 'Forget Oxfam, Feed Twiggy,' but I ate like a horse.
Twiggy
At sixteen, I was a funny, skinny little thing, all eyelashes and legs. And then, suddenly people told me it was gorgeous. I thought they had gone mad.
Twiggy
I've never really had a waist. Even when I was at my slimmest, my silhouette was very straight up, straight down. But I have learnt how to give myself a bit of waist by optical illusion. For this, bring on the belts.
Twiggy
Wearing a bold print gets harder as you get older. Its safer to stick to subtle prints or block colours. I have always found prints quite tricky. My daughter Carly, who is on the design team at Stella McCartney, is obsessed with them.
Twiggy
I like to get on with people. I don't go around being nasty, but if someone crosses me, I can be horrible back.
Twiggy
Always be natural. Putting on airs will make a giggle out of you. Be yourself and if you don't know something say so.
Twiggy
I love exercise but I find it boring doing the same thing all the time, so I fluctuate between going to the gym, doing Pilates and taking dance lessons.
Twiggy
I want to continue to try and break the barrier between male and female.
Twiggy
It's hard to see how anyone can fail to care about innocent children and animals being blown up by landmines.
Twiggy
I used to do my own make-up. I used to have this doll that had those big eyelashes on the top and bottom, and I think I copied her when I was doing my eyes, putting false eyelashes on the bottom as well as the top. So I came up with that look myself.
Twiggy
I've had albums out since the 1970s. I was in a musical, 'The Boy Friend,' directed by Ken Russell, and I was on Broadway in 'My One And Only' with Tommy Tune, so I've always been a singer, but I suppose people think of my modelling more.
Twiggy
Confusion is the best form of communication. It's left to be unexplained.
Twiggy
For me, getting older doesnt mean throwing away a favourite-coloured lipstick or a fabulous pair of boots instead, its about harnessing all the great things I have learnt over the years about what does and doesnt suit me, and enjoying the way in which cleverly selected outfits can enhance the nice bits.
Twiggy
I love flat shoes, more so than heels. One of my obsessions is men's co-respondent lace-ups.
Twiggy
I think everyone should sing - it's so good for you, as it makes you breathe deeply, and it's good for you emotionally, too. It's a brilliant release way of lifting the spirits.
Twiggy
Being young isn't about age, it's about being a free spirit. You can meet someone of 20 who's boring and old, or you can meet someone of 70 who's youthful and exciting. I met Fred Astaire when he was 72 and I was 21, and I fell in love with him. He certainly was a free spirit.
