Lily Cole

I was like most teenagers. I wanted to look more conventional - you know, to just be the pretty girl in school.

I've always gone after fears and tried to stifle them by doing them. It is daunting, but it's more rewarding.

I have always been a fan of Alex Perry's work. His gowns are so beautiful, elegant, and always uniquely crafted to the woman wearing them on the red carpet. They are a true piece of art-meets-couture.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.
