I was very, very underdeveloped for my age, I hated what I looked like, so I thought everyone had gone stark raving mad.

More quotes by 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 am very sad that some designers are still using real fur when the fake alternatives are so effective and so easily obtainable.
Twiggy
Even if your bosoms are your best asset, deep round-neck or scoop-neck Ts can be too revealing. Offset this flash of gorgeousness by covering up your arms with a little cardi that has sleeves to the elbow.
Twiggy
Back in the '60s, there was a car sticker that read, 'Forget Oxfam, Feed Twiggy,' but I ate like a horse.
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
I ate like a horse when I was younger, and not very sensibly, though no one ever believes that.
Twiggy
I love flat shoes, more so than heels. One of my obsessions is men's co-respondent lace-ups.
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 eat healthily because that's the way I prefer to eat, and I'm sure it helps keep the weight off.
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
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
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
My weakness is chocolate - especially butterscotch and nut varieties.
Twiggy
There's no need to dress like everyone else. It's much more fun to create your own look.
Twiggy
I have an iPod, but I do still love CDs. There's something nice and tangible about a CD. I'm a mixture of old and new - I love my sewing machine, but I've also embraced new technology. The iPad is what did it for me - it's extraordinary.
Twiggy
Tailored jackets with jeans is a great look for all ages. Dress up with a heel and pretty shirt, or just wear a smart T-shirt under the jacket.
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.
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
It's hard to see how anyone can fail to care about innocent children and animals being blown up by landmines.
Twiggy
The 40s onwards are when we can really begin to enjoy ourselves. For many women, this is when everything comes together, and they look better than ever. The great thing about getting older is you don't have to do/wear/say anything you don't want to. It wasn't until my very late 30s that I stopped worrying about what other people thought.
