I have made a living off the way I look, and I have really learnt to accept myself for being unusual.

When I was younger, I definitely did face anti-ginger prejudice. As a child, all teasing hurts, whether it's because you're fat or a different race or have red hair. I had enough comments from a couple of people to make it a sore point.

Production chains, how consumers can drive change: all these things may seem at odds with fashion, but arguably, they're not.

Modelling, fashion and film have all encouraged me to learn more about issues and to feel empowered enough to do something about them.

I think models have a lot less power than they did in the '80s, when there were, like, only 10 supermodels who could dictate the rules, whereas now there's so many, and that changes the power dynamic and makes it a more insecure business.

I've always cared about issues, always thought through problems. I don't know how much that comes from my personality or my mum.

Don't overpluck your eyebrows. A make-up artist told me this once, and I've always remembered it.
