Edie Campbell quotes:

The more I mistreat my hair, the stronger it grows back. I think it must be determined to survive.

Sometimes I wake up and think, 'I want to look like Sherlock Holmes today,' and other times I want to look like a witch from 'Macbeth.'

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

You can't really plan for how that training session or competition is going to go. You have to see what your horse is giving you to work with, and then you tailor all your training around that.

I like wearing things that are a bit off but not in a ridiculous 'I'm wearing a huge hat' kind of way. More a socks with sandals way.

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.

I just think that the Victoria's Secret girl values herself by the way she looks. And that might be linked with being healthy, but that's all it is, and it sets a negative example to other people.

I've been making a diary of the daft things people have said during London Fashion Week, and it does wear a little bit thin, everyone comparing my name to Edie Sedgwick.

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.

What I like about Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium is that it's an understated scent that's somehow familiar.

People need to take a breath and remember that it's only fashion. Relax. No one's going to die.

My role is to embody the Black Opium woman - I suppose you have to be the living embodiment of all the intangible things the brand stands for.

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

I actually can't think of anything worse than being famous... Fame really distorts your perception of yourself.

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.

I think TV shows have usurped films!

I don't worry about chemicals. There are enough chemicals entering my body through all the fizzy drinks I consume to worry if my lip balm is 100 per cent organic.

You'll never see me with a precision flick of eyeliner. Messy eyeliner became my thing by accident rather than design. If you can't get it straight, then just work it in around your eyes.

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

I have a really great show jacket from Lavalliere thats really well made, and I have a great pair of Gucci jodhpurs, which is hilarious.

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

I think there is something to be said for not feeling like just because you're a model you have to be dressed up, look amazing, go to every party, and be smiling all the time.

I wear clothes and sell products and ideas.

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.

I have a terrible habit of shopping after I go to the gym or hitting eBay.

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.

There's a thing in the U.K., particularly in London, where it's kind of the idea of subculture and counterculture and the outside and the idea that it's great to be a freak, and the freak always wins. So I think English girls are a lot less scared of being the freak or looking like an idiot.

If I wasn't modelling, I'd probably be an intern somewhere, working for someone who interned the year before me.

There's really nothing better than a hunt ball.

I think the nerves aspect is a bit of a joke. 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.
