Well, I suppose I’ve never really had a lifestyle that needs upkeep. I don’t get cabs; I’m on the Tube with my Oyster card. – Agyness Deyn
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. – Agyness Deyn
It is so inspiring when you come across a woman who is very strong and dedicated and is amazing at what they do. That’s how I feel about Meryl Streep. You watch her, and you can’t help but notice all of that about her. She’s so influential. – Agyness Deyn
A lot of stuff written about me is rubbish. I don’t know where they get it from, sometimes. – Agyness Deyn

When I first started modelling, as I was walking down the catwalk I just thought, ‘Please don’t fall over, please don’t fall over, please don’t fall over!’ – Agyness Deyn
I never knew modelling was what I wanted to do. I was just meandering through life having fun, having a laugh with my friends. – Agyness Deyn
Not just in modeling, but in society, there’s so much pressure about what a woman should be, and, of course, it’s just so unobtainable. You can never become that thing, because it’s such a projection. – Agyness Deyn
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. – Agyness Deyn
