My features are completely ethnic.

I was born in London and raised in Rome until I was 4. Then we went back to London, where I went to school.

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

I don't mind flying. I always pass out before the plane leaves the ground.

Life's too short to bullshit.

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.

Patrick Demarchelier was the one who got me my first Vogue cover. It was French Vogue - I think in ’87 or ’88. I think I was the first black model to be on the cover of French Vogue, which was shocking to me because when I asked them about it, they were like, "Oh, no. We’ve never had that before."
