I always talk with models and they always tell me how awful it was growing up being tall and skinny. Then when you're older, you're really glad. I think it's nice to have been through a terrible time and then all of a sudden be so lucky because then you appreciate it.

Growing up in Texas, mum had five girls to feed on a very limited budget, so we'd end up eating the same thing until it was gone - some weeks it was carrots.

Of course, it's no fun getting old and getting sick and dying; we all know that's coming, and it's a bore.

My face and body have been a tool for my career, and I'm very conscious of that aspect and try and keep it the best I can.

To live in Portsmouth without possessing a family portrait done by Copley is like living in Boston without having an ancestor in the old Granary Burying-Ground. You can exist, but you cannot be said to flourish.

I have a very big, very beautiful family.

My mum and dad had creative jobs, but our family was a working family - so there wasn't an option of, 'Oh, when you're older, you're not going to have to work.'

We want to build a flagship refugee home. And I'm going to establish a charity for traumatized children.
