Talent is crucial. It needs to be driven by motivation, but blind ambition isn't the key.

I love modeling but also see it as a platform for the million other things I want to achieve and create in life.

I part-own a bookshop for some strange coincidence of reasons, and it is one of the best things I part-own in my life, or own in my life. I do not know, it just feels great.

America has had an influence on me, as has going out with a Cuban-American guy and having lots of American friends. But I am still fundamentally British and speak with a British accent and feel very English.

I'll always try to follow my heart into things I love, and modelling is not something I'm dreaming of pursuing forever.

There's an inherent contradiction between appreciating the beauty of clothes and creativity and individuality, and the waste around the ideas of trends and seasons.

Acting is something I've done since I was six years old, performing for my mum and my family in the living room, and I do it because my heart's in it.
