A biography for Kelly Brookhasn’t been written yet.
“Sometimes, if I see a picture and I can make it a bit better, then I will, like everyone else does. I've been Photoshopped in every picture since I started modelling.”
“People think if you are a celebrity and if you're beautiful, or if you're slim, then life is a bed of roses. Or they think that if you're wealthy, you don't have normal relationship problems, because why would anyone reject you?”
“I remember when I got to 16, my mum was like, 'No, now you've got to go and get a proper job. We've indulged you long enough.' I don't think they ever thought I was going to be successful in entertainment at all.”
“I've never said I'm perfect, and I've never said I'm a skinny girl.”
“It makes my skin crawl to think about the violent ways snakes, lizards, alligators and other exotic creatures are raised and killed for boots, bags and belts.”
“I do Google myself. Not that often, though, and the stories are always rubbish.”
“There's always going to be someone who doesn't like you, but what can they do?”
“The thing is I really struggle with commitments, so committing myself to six months to a year in a soap opera... I don't think it would suit my lifestyle. A few days working on a project is enough for me, and then I get bored and am ready to move on and do something else.”
“I think the more mediocre you are the better you do because people need to think you're their friend, they don't want to be threatened by you, you've got to be warm, you've got to be not too smart, not too pretty, not too anything.”
“I eat everything. I love it! I couldn't deny myself food. What a waste of a life.”
“I think TV is all about not turning off the public, it's about not being too sexy, not being too much of anything really.”
“I'm really pleased that women like me as well as men. My fanbase is quite evenly split.”
“I'm quite loud. When I was in film and TV, people were always saying, 'Oh Kelly, make it smaller, make it smaller.'”
“My mum was never strict. I was allowed to go out to clubs underage, watch TV, listen to whatever music I wanted to, and that made me not rebel. I have never touched a drug in my life.”
“I'm really good at growing roses.”
“I'm always professional and turn up on time and do my job.”
“I think I'm quite good at being sexy in a unthreatening way.”
“I can be high maintenance for my work when I have to look good, but in my day-to-day life, hanging out at home, I'm happy with no make-up on and my hair in a ponytail.”
“I'd definitely have a dog over a child.”
“I feel a lot more comfortable on stage in the theatre. It just reminds me of being a kid and doing pantomimes.”
