I'd love there to be more larger models, but it's just not going to happen. Designers love to design for slim girls.

From Twiggy

I was very skinny, but that was just my natural build. I always ate sensibly - being thin was in my genes.

From Twiggy

I like to get on with people. I don't go around being nasty, but if someone crosses me, I can be horrible back.

From Twiggy

The way I looked when I started modelling - I was a skinny schoolgirl, stuffing tissues into my little 32A bra. I wasn't trying to be that thin; I was perfectly healthy, but still - that look is a total impossibility for women over the age of 20. Fashion has a lot to answer for, doesn't it?

From Twiggy

Jamie Oliver's books are the best. I love Jamie. Bless him!

From Twiggy

I can't live without my cup of tea. When I was a judge on 'America's Next Top Model,' they had to put me in a hotel where I had my own kitchen, because they can't make tea in America. I was happy then because I could make my own.

From Twiggy

Being a grown-up woman doesn't mean you can't look beautiful, individual and different.

From Twiggy

From as far back as I can remember, I was always insecure about my looks, whether it was my flat chest, my skinny legs, or how to cope with my body as it changed. With hindsight, I can see I was different. I was given a body that worked for photographic modelling and a photogenic face.

From Twiggy

Wearing a bold print gets harder as you get older. It's safer to stick to subtle prints or block colours. I have always found prints quite tricky. My daughter Carly, who is on the design team at Stella McCartney, is obsessed with them.

From Twiggy

I prefer 100 per cent cotton Ts. They are kinder to lumps and bumps than figure-hugging stretchy Lycra ones and feel nicer against the skin. Extra-long-sleeved T-shirts are a lifesaver for me. I wear them either underneath a shirt with the sleeve pulled out of the cuff, or underneath gypsy tops, tunic tops and waistcoats.
