I didn't mean to be a TV presenter, I just hated modeling. It feels very odd that it's turned into this 'It-girl' thing. What does that even mean? I wear clothes and I go out. It's so weird.

I worry all the time that I'm going to run out of ideas, you know? I always tell my mom my fashion ideas, because I know she'll remember them.

My dad cut my hair once - I wanted a bob and he gave me a bowl cut. That was a tough few years.

I met a hustler at a dinner party. He had been invited because I was looking for an adviser to help me with the street scenes. So we put him on the film.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.
