I have a dress-up chest at home. I love to create this fantasy kind of thing.

I like creating images.

Calvin was very clever. We did the pictures and made the commercial, and that really worked.

I was definitely living fast. I was working, traveling a lot, playing. I didn’t stop. It all became unbalanced.

I thought it was quite vain to say, I want to be a model.

I have made some of the best friends that I’ve got in this business.

It is quite amazing what I didn’t feel after a while. I didn’t really want to feel things.

People 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.

All 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.

The 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.

I 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.

All 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.

There was a point when it all really took off and got quite overwhelming, even though I didn’t realize it.

It’s a sin to be tired.

I 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.

I 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.

I’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.

I’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.

I 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.

I 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.

Actors do like watching girls parade down the runway for some reason.

I 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.

When people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I’m just a face or a body to them.

I 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.

People don’t hear me talk. They don’t expect me to.

Everyone’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.

What people say isn’t going to stop me. I have to do things for myself.

I 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.

There’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.

Now 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.
