To be supportive of myself, I have to go with what I want to do. I started acting and I was so mesmerized.

I'm not the new anything; I'm just Agyness.

I love 'Breathless,' and 'Paris, Texas,' and 'Badlands.' I was obsessed with those films in my teens. I remember watching 'Badlands' and being amazed that there were these scenes in which nobody said anything and the silence told the whole story.

Not just in modeling, but in society, there's so much pressure about what a woman should be, and, of course, it's just so unobtainable. You can never become that thing, because it's such a projection.

I don't think a name defines the core of who you are.

I don't expect that because I was successful in one field that I will then get a ride of passage into another.

I've always got on with lads, more than I have with girls.
