Famous Kate Moss Quotes

Kate Moss has always been famous all over the world. Let's learn some famous Kate Moss quotes you might not have heard.

"There's nobody that's ever really been able to take care of me. Johnny did for a bit. I believed what he said. Like if I said, 'What do I do?' he'd tell me. And that's what I missed when I left. I really lost that gauge of somebody I could trust."

"I hadn't even thought about what I wanted to do when I left school because I was only 14 when I started modelling."

"When people see an actor speak, they think they know him or her, whereas I'm just a face or a body to them."

"Now I'm being blamed not only for anorexia but for lung cancer. - On being a social smoker."

"Never complain. Never explain."

"I wasn't the prettiest girl in class. No breasts, short legs, gangly teeth. I didn't think I was model material, that's for sure."

"I hate dentists. That's why my tooth fell out. I was in the middle of a root canal and wouldn't go back, so it just dropped out when I was in the middle of Fifth Avenue."

"I was definitely living fast. I was working, traveling a lot, playing. I didn't stop. It all became unbalanced."

"What people say isn't going to stop me. I have to do things for myself."

"I thought it was quite vain to say, I want to be a model."

"I don't get why it would be interesting. I'm not that different. And also, now with Instagram and everything, everyone's so on their phones that even when I'm in a restaurant like this, where you wouldn't expect it, someone will come up and ask to get a picture with me and I'm like, 'No!'"

"In a way, it's like the photographer always has his vision of me. The pictures that I'm known for are not really my image, they're always the photographer's vision of me. I can look a hundred different ways, but what people see of me in pictures is not really my image."

"I can do a good roast with my eyes closed. I'm amazing with gravy. That's my specialty; even other people ask me to make gravy at their house. I'm very proud of my gravy."

"I remember taking my makeup off at a Saint Laurent shoot, and I was dragging it across my eye. The makeup artist was like, 'Don't do that to your skin! Don't pull it like that!' And I'm like, 'Really?'"

"If the plane lost all my luggage, and I was somewhere sunny like Ibiza, I would just get a bikini, shorts, T-shirt, and sandals. If it were somewhere colder like New York, I'd go for jeans, a jacket, and a pair of Louboutin's."

"It's often only other people who notice you have a signature style. I don't think I've got one, though other people tell me I do."

"I've met Bob Dylan. We did one of those non-handshake handshakes. I was with all guys, and he shook hands with all of them, and then they said, 'And this is Kate,' and I put my hand out, and he didn't put his out. And then I took my hand away, and he put him out.

It was one of those. We finally did shake. And then I fainted!"

"I worked with Herb Ritts on the Marky Mark shoot, and then Steven Meisel, and then they'd start sending limos for me, and I was like, 'That is so embarrassing. I'm not getting in a stretch limo by myself to go to a shoot.'

That whole New York thing of, 'You are fabulous! Turn up to a Meisel shoot in a limo and you're fabulous!'"

"I'm not a show-off by nature."

"I was 14 when I started modeling. At the end of that first day my mum said, 'If you want to do this, you're on your own because I'm not trapping around London again like that. It's a nightmare.'"

"It is quite amazing what I didn't feel after a while. I didn't really want to feel things."

"Even if I wore a hat and a wig, you can always tell it's me."

"I love the Sixties with Julie Christie and Jane Birkin - those natural English beauties. That's the look that is most me when I wore tight-to-the-knee dresses. I don't think I bleached my hair until I was 20. I like experimenting for big occasions, though. You've always got to do a bit of a number for the birthday!"

"Just to go into a shop without getting stared at would be nice. I mean, I don't walk around like, 'Oh, I'm trying to be famous' - I try to lead as normal a life as possible - but sometimes it's annoying. It's fine; it's not a massive problem, but sometimes it's just a bit uncomfortable."

"Girls interested in modeling need to realize that it's hard work. You can go to a shoot in the morning and not even start shooting until 10 pm - and still be there at 5 am the next day. Then if you still haven’t got the shot, you’ll have to go back the next day and start again!"

"Well, I met Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan in the space of 15 minutes. Frank Sinatra kissed me on the lips. He kissed me on the lips. And then he gave me a filter-less cigarette. And then I met Bob Dylan. I came off all lightheaded and had to go sit on his dressing-room steps."

"I have lost a lot of clothes over the years... Probably the oldest garment that I still have would be my Union Jack jacket from John Galliano's spring/summer 1993 show."

"All of a sudden to get all of this attention, and to be away from home and working all the time was hard. I was on planes all the time. I didn't see my friends. I cried a lot. It was quite terrifying."

"I think fashion in motion is going to happen. I think that's the way things are going, but there are people who will still want to see a picture and to be able to hold it."

"I don't really go to clubs anymore. I’m actually quite settled. Living in Highgate with my dog and my husband and my daughter! I’m not a hell-raiser. But don’t burst the bubble. Behind closed doors, for sure I’m a hell-raiser."

Best Kate Moss Quotes

Kate Moss has always been a great orator and here are some of her best quotes from all over the world.

"I'm happier on the runway than I am on the red carpet. Because then I am not being myself. I think, on the red carpet, it's weird, like, 'Who am I? Am I me? Am I them?"

"Once I was walking from The Mercer in New York - because otherwise, I don't walk anywhere - and this woman paparazzo who was following me fell over a fire hydrant and her whole tooth went through her lip. I leaned over her, saying, 'Are you alright?' and she was still taking pictures."

"I just haven't found anyone that I want to spend long periods of time with."

"I always have a pair of Ray-Bans in my bag and lots of pairs at home because they seem to go missing. They're a real staple."

"It's all about the blanket. Blanket, pillow, and red wine. You should always be asleep on a plane."

"I don't want to be myself, ever. I'm terrible at snapshots. Terrible. I blink all the time. I've got facial Tourette's. Unless I'm working and, in that zone, I'm not very good at pictures, really."

"There's always dinner to go to. There're always loads of people around. I was having fun working with my friends. For a while it all just kind of rolled together in a great way."

"Modeling can be a bit brain damaging. Starting my own brand was what I needed to do. I only model if there are such good jobs that you don't want to say no to.

All that dressing up makes me say, 'What do I want to wear?' and, 'What do I want to do with Topshop?' It all kind of leads into the other things."

"I got tired of feeling like Dracula. I wanted to see some daylight, and not just at six o’clock in the morning."

"I'm still having fun, and I'm doing something and I'm seeing the world! I wasn't massively ambitious, but I did always want to do the best I could do."

"That picture of me running down the beach - I'll never forget doing that, because I made the hairdresser, who was the only man on the shoot, turn his back."

"I was a scapegoat. The media had to put the responsibility on somebody, and I was chosen. They felt free to say that because someone was thin, they were anorexic, which is ridiculous."

"My daughter, Lila, is my style critic. She'll say, "No, Mummy, you can't wear that." She's very good. I do trust her instinct."

"The first time I went to New York, I went with my first boyfriend, Clark. His dad had just bought an apartment in New York, and my dad dropped us off, and we were there for a week on our own.

I must have been 15 or 16. I remember I went to Harlem and bought a goose jacket. That was the hip, hot thing."

"If I'm going to work, I put black jeans on, a T-shirt, a shirt, and a jacket."

"I didn't really have a mentor, but I have always definitely been inspired by the '70s - the Stones, Patti Smith, Anita Pallenberg."

"My signature jam is damson or quince, and it's called 'Kate's Sweet and Sticky'. Basically, I'm a domestic goddess."

"I'll never forget that show season. It was completely mad. I was staying between Christy and Naomi's rooms and it was all limos and the Ritz Hotel and all that kind of business."

"I own a Hangman jumper, which looks like a scarf, but that's what it's called. It cost a fortune, but it was worth it."

"I would say I'm self-taught, but Corinne Day made me less conscious of myself. I was 15, and she'd make me take off my top, and I'd cry. After five years, you get used to it, and you're not self-conscious anymore."

"Plan what you are going to wear ahead of time. If you're going to an important dinner, you should always plan what you're going to wear because you don't want to look silly."

"When I'm in the country with all of the kids around and cooking, that's when I'm most relaxed. When I'm in the country, I like to cook."
