Agyness Deyn

“If you have a connection to someone, it doesn't matter what their exterior is.”

“Modelling is only about the look. In acting, it's the feel that matters.”

“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.”

“I think modelling was like the university of life, really. You get to travel but you get thrown into this adult world, which is kind of quite scary.”

“A lot of stuff written about me is rubbish. I don't know where they get it from, sometimes.”

“I'd love to have tea and scones with the Queen; she's my idol.”

“I've never had formal drama-school training; I've just picked things up as I've gone along.”

“I know I'm no Whitney Houston.”

“I want to play positive role models - women who mean something to other women.”

“Fashion isn't me, even though I work in it. It's just materialistic stuff.”
