Naomi Campbell

I don't like workouts that make you bulky.

I'm not angry. And I don't like the thing of the 'angry black woman,' either.

Am I bossy? Absolutely. I don't like to lose, and if I'm told 'no,' then I find another way to get my 'yes.' But I'm a loyal person.

Everyone has a temper. A temper is an emotion.

When I first got Yves Saint Laurent Couture, I didn't know how to take off a cape. I would ask Katoucha and Dalma - the real divas of the runway - 'Can you show me?' I've never been afraid to ask for help.

I would ask my mother to show me how to walk - and she did show me. That's why I think it's funny when people say, 'Did so-and-so teach you how to walk?' And I always say, 'You must be talking about my mother, because it was my mother who taught me how to walk.'

What makes a person is the ability to look at themselves and deal with their own lives.

I don't worry about a number. I'm fine with aging.

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

I love England, especially the food. There's nothing I like more than a lovely bowl of pasta.

I make a lot of money and I'm worth every cent.

Yes, I did and a lot of my friends who are in the same program as I were very much supportive, and the most important thing they said to me is do not let this interfere with what you have to do in taking car of yourself. That was the most important thing.

My features are completely ethnic.

I'm not set on a pedestal where I think I'm too high and mighty.

I live my life day by day, and that's how I continue to live it.

I cannot drink or do anything that changes the mind.

I like the men to wear the pants. I don't want to wear the pants. I like men who know what they want, know what they're doing, make their own decisions... As much as I like to be the controller, it's not in my best interest.

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.

I've been offered jobs by companies that supported apartheid many times in the 25 years of my modeling career, but I have never taken one of them. I have to refuse that money, because I'm not going to work against my people. They've suffered enough.

I have no regrets. I've got my health.
