I started this charity, Fashion for Relief, in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina happened. New Orleans was actually the first place I visited in the United States. It was one of my first big jobs, a shoot for British 'Elle.' It was April 14, 1986.

Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.

Anger T Sue

It's a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don't like is predictable.

Naomi Campbell

Change Your You

Am I bossy? Absolutely. I don't like to lose, and if I'm told 'no,' then I find another way to get my 'yes.' But I'm a loyal person.

Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort.

I love England, especially the food. There's nothing I like more than a lovely bowl of pasta.

I don't think I was born beautiful. I just think I was born me.

I live my life day by day, and that's how I continue to live it.

I don't always wear underwear. When I'm in the heat, especially, I can't wear it. Like, if I'm wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?

Naomi Campbell

Why Wearing Wear

I make a lot of money and I'm worth every cent.

Everyone has a temper. A temper is an emotion.

What makes a person is the ability to look at themselves and deal with their own lives.

Look, you have to make mistakes. That's how you learn and that's how the world works.

After Versace was murdered, the first person to call me was Mandela.

Well, in brief, I was discovered by a lady called Beth Boldt. She had also been a model. She used to take pictures of the girls she found, and she took a picture of me one day in my school uniform, and it all kind of started from there.

Art Well Used

Patrick Demarchelier was the one who got me my first 'Vogue' cover. It was French 'Vogue' - I think in '87 or '88. I think I was the first black model to be on the cover of French Vogue, which was shocking to me because when I asked them about it, they were like, 'Oh, no. We've never had that before.'

Naomi Campbell

Who Which Were

I like to control everything, and you cannot control everything. You have to at some point say, 'I let go and I'm going to let the cards fall where they fall... For a control freak, it's hard.

I don't work out as much as I should, but I do believe that it's a healthy mind as well as a healthy body that keeps me fit, sound and calm.

I feel very responsible for young models of colour. They come to me and tell me they're not getting jobs, and I do what I can to speak up for them.

Naomi Campbell

Young You Very

I loved watching so many of the great designers I've worked with do what they do. That's why I'm still loyal to the designers that I've known since I was 16.

Naomi Campbell

Work Love Great

When I first got Yves Saint Laurent Couture, I didn't know how to take off a cape. I would ask Katoucha and Dalma - the real divas of the runway - 'Can you show me?' I've never been afraid to ask for help.

Naomi Campbell

I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth.

I started this charity, Fashion for Relief, in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina happened. New Orleans was actually the first place I visited in the United States. It was one of my first big jobs, a shoot for British 'Elle.' It was April 14, 1986.

Naomi Campbell

I don't worry about a number. I'm fine with aging.

Naomi Campbell

I make a lot of money, but I don't want to talk about that.

Naomi Campbell

I'm not angry. And I don't like the thing of the 'angry black woman,' either.

Naomi Campbell

I never diet. I smoke. I drink now and then. I never work out.

Naomi Campbell

I've been offered jobs by companies that supported apartheid many times in the 25 years of my modeling career, but I have never taken one of them. I have to refuse that money, because I'm not going to work against my people. They've suffered enough.

Naomi Campbell

I'm very observant and very instinctive. In life, you have to have the vulnerability to accept when you are to blame. And I do have that, and I am open enough to say it.

Naomi Campbell

In fact, I don't read newspapers any longer.

Naomi Campbell

I cannot drink or do anything that changes the mind.

Naomi Campbell

I don't like workouts that make you bulky.

Naomi Campbell

The worst was when my skirt fell down to my ankles, but I had on thick tights underneath.

There is only going to be one Kate Moss. Kate is an icon.

I work very hard and I'm worth every cent.

I would ask my mother to show me how to walk - and she did show me. That's why I think it's funny when people say, 'Did so-and-so teach you how to walk?' And I always say, 'You must be talking about my mother, because it was my mother who taught me how to walk.'

Naomi Campbell

Yes, I did and a lot of my friends who are in the same program as I were very much supportive, and the most important thing they said to me is do not let this interfere with what you have to do in taking car of yourself. That was the most important thing.

Naomi Campbell

I've always been very shy of doing television. I've always said 'no.' Not to be disrespectful to anyone - I didn't want to say 'yes' and then let people down.

Naomi Campbell

I have no regrets. I've got my health.

Naomi Campbell

I'm not set on a pedestal where I think I'm too high and mighty.

Naomi Campbell

I've been doing my job well for 17 years. People must see something in me. Otherwise, I'd be over and out.

Naomi Campbell

I was born in London and raised in Rome until I was 4. Then we went back to London, where I went to school.

Naomi Campbell

Well, when I started modeling in the mid-'80s, the girls who did shows did shows, and the girls who did magazines did magazines. That's what was understood.

Naomi Campbell

When I started out modeling, there weren't casting directors and there weren't stylists, so you just dealt directly with the designer. We were all much closer back then.

Naomi Campbell

Feeling passionate about something doesn't mean you have to be angry.

Naomi Campbell

I love mentoring young girls. I've always been like that.

Naomi Campbell

What I like about gyrotonics is you feel like you really elongated yourself for the day... As we all get older, everything changes and moves, and there's natural ways to exercise. I think it's important, and I think it's something that can help keep things in place.

Naomi Campbell

I like the men to wear the pants. I don't want to wear the pants. I like men who know what they want, know what they're doing, make their own decisions... As much as I like to be the controller, it's not in my best interest.

Naomi Campbell

The chocolate and crisps come in at times. You have to allow the little things that make you happy. I'm not extreme about what I eat.
