Modeling is a job. Even my mum doesn't believe that I do work hard.
Kate Moss -
I lived in New York for seven years, although I was always in denial about it. Even though I had an apartment there, I always pretended I was just visiting. I do love New York. But I'm a Londoner at heart.

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.
Kate Moss -
I'm happier on the runway than I am on the red carpet. Because then I am not being myself. I think, on the red carpet, it's a weird, like, 'Who am I? Am I me? Am I them?'
Kate Moss -
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.
Kate Moss -
I worked with Herb Ritts on the Marky Mark shoot, and then Steven Meisel, and then they'd start sending limos for me, and I was like, 'That is so embarrassing. I'm not getting in a stretch limo by myself to go to a shoot.' That whole New York thing of, 'You are fabulous! Turn up to a Meisel shoot in a limo and you're fabulous!'
Kate Moss -
People don't hear me talk. They don't expect me to.
Kate Moss -
What people say isn't going to stop me. I have to do things for myself.

-
Actors do like watching girls parade down the runway for some reason.
Kate Moss -
I've met lots of interesting people, but Lucian Freud is the one who sticks out because I spent so much time with him. He taught me discipline, which I hadn't been taught properly before. If I was, like, two seconds, late, he would kick off. Once, I was three minutes late, and he went absolutely berserk.
Kate Moss -
Just to go into a shop without getting stared at would be nice. I mean, I don't walk around like, 'Oh, I'm trying to be famous' - I try to lead as normal a life as possible - but sometimes it's annoying. It's fine; it's not a massive problem, but sometimes it's just a bit uncomfortable.
Kate Moss -
When people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I'm just a face or a body to them.
Kate Moss -
I used to be so scared about, 'Oh, I don't want to show my body.' Now that I've shown it, it doesn't bug me about my moles, or 'This isn't big enough' and 'That's not smooth enough.'
Kate Moss -
I was doing shows and flying economy, and nobody ever fed me. Or I'd be staying in hotels so cheap that by the time I'd get in, there wasn't any room service. I didn't eat for a long time. Not on purpose. You'd be on shoots with bad food or get on a plane, and the food would be so disgusting you couldn't eat it.

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.
Kate Moss -
Topshop is the only brand I've ever collaborated with on a fashion collection.
Kate Moss -
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.
Kate Moss -
I would say I'm self-taught, but Corinne Day made me less conscious of myself. I was 15, and she'd make me take off my top, and I'd cry. After five years, you get used to it, and you're not self-conscious anymore.
Kate Moss -
If the plane lost all my luggage, and I was somewhere sunny like Ibiza, I would just get a bikini, shorts, T-shirt, and sandals. If it was somewhere colder like New York, I'd go for jeans, jacket, and a pair of Louboutins.
Kate Moss -
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.
Kate Moss
-
I am so romantic about Gypsies. They're not allowed to do anything until they get married. So they all get married really young, at sixteen.
Kate Moss -
I own a Hangman jumper, which looks like a scarf, but that's what it's called. It cost a fortune, but it was worth it.
Kate Moss -
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.
Kate Moss -
I always take a cashmere blanket, and I have pictures of my family in my passport holder.
