Biography of Kate Moss
It was kind of boring for me to have to eat. I would know that I had to, and I would.
Tags: Boring, EatIt's all about the blanket. Blanket, pillow, and red wine. You should always be asleep on a plane.
Tags: Asleep, Red, WineJam! I love my jam. I've just had a batch of it come through, I've been making it.
Tags: Batch, Love, MakingLila can't be a model until she's at least 21. She is already a mini-me - it is scary. She already has her own beauty kit.
Tags: Beauty, Her, SheNow I can walk into a room full of people I don't know and do my job. That's quite a massive thing to learn, I think.
Tags: Job, Learn, WalkNow I'm being blamed not only for anorexia but for lung cancer. - On being a social smoker.
Tags: Cancer, Smoker, SocialThere was a point when it all really took off and got quite overwhelming, even though I didn't realize it.
Tags: Off, Point, RealizeWhen people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I'm just a face or a body to them.
Tags: Her, Him, SpeakAll of a sudden to get all of this attention, and to be away from home and working all the time was hard. I was on planes all the time. I didn't see my friends. I cried a lot. It was quite terrifying.
Tags: Hard, Home, TimeWhen you're shooting you go to references in your mind. You think about how you should stand in these particular clothes, or how you should move. You think about the different characters you're playing, really.
Tags: Mind, Playing, StandYou go to a show, and there's no food at all, so if you're doing shows back to back, you can forget eating. I remember standing up in the bath one day, and there was a mirror in front of me, and I was so thin! I hated it. I never liked being that skinny.
Tags: Food, Forget, RememberAll of a sudden I was living what is perceived to be the model life. It was just full-on, 24 hours a day. It was work all the time. And there's always a party to go to.
Tags: Life, Time, WorkAmericans are really obsessed with their teeth being white and straight, aren't they? I saw this little girl the other day with one of those whole head braces. Elastic all the way around! How traumatizing for a child to have to wear one of those! You look like a monster.
Tags: Child, Girl, WholeI edit things down, and I've got a massive dressing room in the country, and so all the things I'm not going to wear but don't want to get rid of go there. And all the stuff I want to get rid of goes to Oxfam.
Tags: Country, Goes, StuffI kind of lost interest in school. I was never really that interested anyway. I was never academic. I didn't really go to school as much as I should have.
Tags: Interested, Lost, SchoolI started going back and forth, New York, London, New York, London. I wasn't looking back at all. I was doing tons of jobs. Working, working, working, working.
Tags: Looking, Started, WorkingI was a scapegoat. The media had to put responsibility on somebody, and I was chosen. They felt free to say that because someone was thin they were anorexic, which is ridiculous.
Tags: Free, Put, SomeoneI was amazed at the support that I got when I was in there. And when I came out people knew that I was back on track. I was interested in working again.
Tags: Again, Support, WorkingI was really nervous, intimidated by the whole thing-all the people and all the buzzing, and all the sitting around waiting. I felt really small in this huge place.
Tags: Place, Small, WaitingI'd go on the train to castings, changing from my school uniform on the train. I carried on like that for a few years, getting jobs in bits and pieces.
Tags: Few, Getting, SchoolI'll never forget that show season. It was completely mad. I was staying between Christy and Naomi's rooms and it was all limos and the Ritz Hotel and all that kind of business.
Tags: Between, Business, ForgetModeling can be a bit brain damaging. Starting my own brand was what I needed to do. I only model if there are such good jobs that you don't want to say no to. All that dressing up makes me say, 'What do I want to wear?' and, 'What do I want to do with Topshop?' It all kind of leads into the other things.

My daughter Lila loves the smell of gasoline - she always says, 'Mummy, keep the door open,' when I'm filling up the car. I've heard it is one of the most preferred scents in the world - maybe that's something to study for my next fragrance!
Tags: Car, Keep, StudyPeople think your success is just a matter of having a pretty face. But it's easy to be chewed up and spat out. You've got to stay ahead of the game to be able to stay in it.
Tags: Game, Pretty, SuccessThe first time I went to Johnny Depp's house in LA is when I realized what I was getting myself into. I knew he was famous, but I didn't really know what that entailed.
Tags: Famous, Getting, TimeThen finally I said, 'Okay, well, I want to know all the details. I want creative input. I want to be consulted. I want to know what they're doing and who's involved. And I want to see the space.' So they took me to see it, and then I realized it was major! All these red flags on the Rue de Rivoli with my name on them right by the Louvre!
Tags: Creative, Name, SaidThere's always a dinner to go to. There're always loads of people around. I was having fun working with my friends. For a while it all just kind of rolled together in a great way.
Tags: Fun, Great, TogetherWell, I met Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan in the space of 15 minutes. Frank Sinatra kissed me on the lips. He kissed me on the lips. And then he gave me a filterless cigarette. And then I met Bob Dylan. I came off all lightheaded and had to go sit on his dressing-room steps.
Tags: Gave, Off, SpaceIt sounds really corny but I think that if you're beautiful inside it shows on the outside, for sure.
Tags: Beautiful, Inside, SureWhat people say isn't going to stop me. I have to do things for myself.
Tags: StopI had tried to get focused on other things. But I always ended up back in the same place, and it wasn't making me happy. I needed to get the focus back.
Tags: Focus, Happy, PlaceI was 14 when I started modeling. At the end of that first day my mum said, If you want to do this, you're on your own because I'm not traipsing around London ever again like that. It's a nightmare.
Tags: Again, End, SaidI was never anorexic, so I was never that skinny. I was never bony-bony. But I remember thinking, I don't want to be this skinny.
Tags: Remember, Skinny, ThinkingI want to apologize to all of the people I have let down because of my behavior which has reflected badly on my family, friends, co-workers, business associates and others.
Tags: Business, Family, FriendsEveryone's projecting onto you, or you feel like everyone is judging you. I feel like I'm being judged a lot of the time. You become really self-conscious.
Tags: Become, Judging, TimeI'm not really a fashion designer. I just love clothes. I've never been to design school. I can't sketch. I can't cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf.
Tags: Design, Love, SchoolOnce I was walking from The Mercer in New York - because otherwise I don't walk anywhere - and this woman paparazzo who was following me fell over a fire hydrant and her whole tooth went through her lip. I leant over her, saying, 'Are you all right?' and she was still taking pictures.
Tags: Fire, Saying, WomanActors do like watching girls parade down the runway for some reason.
Tags: Reason, Runway, WatchingCalvin was very clever. We did the pictures and made the commercial, and that really worked.
Tags: Clever, Pictures, WorkedI have a dress-up chest at home. I love to create this fantasy kind of thing.
Tags: Create, Home, LoveI really work. I like feeling that I've nailed it, and we've got the picture.
Tags: Feeling, Picture, WorkI was definitely living fast. I was working, traveling a lot, playing. I didn't stop. It all became unbalanced.
