“I find it quite boring when people do things that are very considered and thought through. I like things best when they're just done because they're fun or beautiful, or simply because they are what that one person wanted to do at that one time.”

“I always find Victoria's Secret models a bit weird.”

“Kristen Stewart always looks good - she wears what she wants. It's the same with Alison Mosshart - she chooses clothes that she loves rather than what she thinks she should wear.”

“It's very good for you, riding. You know how every model is like, 'I do yoga.' Well, I find horses to have the same effect, in that you have to put your ego aside and concentrate on making the horse do the things you want it to do, and move in the way you want it to move - particularly if you're doing dressage.”

“How hard can it be to walk up and down in a straight line? You just need to put one step in front of another; most people do it all the time. What's the worst that can happen? You fall over. Sometimes that happens to non-models, too; it wouldn't be the end of the world.”

“I'd like to work with horses, but it doesn't pay very well. Maybe I'd like to go somewhere in the Middle East because they keep buying really nice horses for their Olympic teams - like, the Qataris.”

“Everything comes back to the horse, which is why I love it. You put your ego aside, and you concentrate on getting the best performance out of this creature.”

“There's really nothing better than a hunt ball.”

“Everyone Instagrams all the people they are with. I get that it's part of the job. But there's a point where it's like, 'Can't you just be a person and have a separate life to your job?'”

“I'm not very good at going to parties and looking like I'm having fun.”

“I think TV shows have usurped films!”

“If you always feel like an imposter, you work harder, and that makes you better at your job. You've got to keep a level of variation; otherwise, you'll end up talking about nails and beauty products all the time.”

“My favourite smell is horses. In fact, most of the time, I do smell like horses.”

“I needed to pay for my horses in Warwickshire, and I couldn't do that off a waitress' wage.”

“Maybe the Burberry woman is undefinable! I think it's less about what she looks like and more about an attitude.”

“I think Stella Tennant is amazing. And then I really loved all those '60s society models, like Edie Sedgwick.”

“I am truly honoured to become ambassadress for Yves Saint Laurent. The brand's modern vision of beauty is very inspiring, and I am particularly proud to represent such an audacious archetype of woman.”
