When I first started modelling, as I was walking down the catwalk I just thought, 'Please don't fall over, please don't fall over, please don't fall over!'
From Agyness Deyn
Laughing is, like, my favorite thing to do.
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.
The fact is I'm choosy, but mainly about a man's character. He has to be interesting, funny and clever. I don't even mind if he's not very good-looking.
It is so inspiring when you come across a woman who is very strong and dedicated and is amazing at what they do. That's how I feel about Meryl Streep. You watch her, and you can't help but notice all of that about her. She's so influential.
I've never had formal drama-school training; I've just picked things up as I've gone along.
I never knew modelling was what I wanted to do. I was just meandering through life having fun, having a laugh with my friends.
I don't really see myself as a big supermodel.
I'd love to have tea and scones with the Queen; she's my idol.
For modelling, you have to be such a strong person in a way - or seen to be a strong person, do you know what I mean? But in acting you have to get in touch with all the vulnerability that you carry.
