As a kid, you get to the stage where you realise the gender barriers that exist in society and what you’re supposed to do and not supposed to do.

I find myself to be quite sarcastic, and I wouldn’t want to be with someone who didn’t get that.

When I’m sitting in a casting room in Paris, I’m not the thinnest model. Sometimes I’m not the most flat-chested, either.

It’s important to me that people can associate being different with being beautiful.

Most female models don’t have any muscle mass.

I’ve been getting chatted up by men ever since I was 14.

I guess professionally I’ve left my gender open to artistic interpretation.

Fashion is quite inclusive and good at embracing different things and different forms of beauty. It’s a very liberal industry. You can be yourself. Just not overweight.

My whole life is controversy. What can I do? I’m like Britney Spears!

My favourite author is Leon Trotsky – the political philosophy and the way he writes is beautiful, and really relevant, too.
