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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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