Quotes by Jerry Hall

“I think if I werent so beautiful, maybe, Id have more character.”

“When I first met Mick he wore jeans and those Seventies ribbed, tight T-shirts, and I absolutely loved that look. Nobody looks better in jeans than Mick because hes got this amazing body with a very slim, long waist and a bit V-shaped chest and I thought that was just the cutest. Thats when I fell in love with him. Then in the Eighties he started wearing trousers and badly cut tweed suits, big shirts in orange and brown. Ugh! Clothes that he wore for about 20 years. But now hes started wearing jeans again and he looks great – I saw him the other day and I thought, thank God.”

“I never eat between meals and I dont eat junk food. I mostly stick to fish, vegetables and chicken. But I do love chocolate, coffee, red wine and cigarettes...”

I dont mind being older. Im proud of my age. Ive achieved a lot. Its the same thing with Mick and the Stones. They should be revered and respected. Isnt it strange that now were living longer we have so much less respect for old age? Perhaps its a less valuable commodity?

I guess Ive always been a groupie. My first date was a bull rider called Tommy Lee Bryant. Wed go to the rodeo every Saturday and Sunday. The bull riders were the cool guys.

When I was 16 and arrived in France, I discovered chocolate mousse. I was crazy about the bread, too. Every morning, Id go to the bakery and get a fresh croissant. It made me feel very sophisticated.

We used to go to Studio 54 - an amazing place.

My mother was a medical records librarian and wonderful with us girls. She sewed a lot of our clothes - really glamorous, beautiful clothes - and I think thats part of why I was so successful when I went off to Paris; shed made me all these wonderful clothes to take.

I really am glad that the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has had the courage to stand up and say that children should not be hit under any circumstances. I am a committed supporter of this campaigning charity for children.

Im one of five sisters. Im the younger of twins, and were the youngest of five girls, and weve always been very close. We were pretty much a gang. I take after my mother a lot in terms of personality and character. She was very positive; always looked on the bright side of things. She had a tough time of it with my dad but did her best.

As far as vanity and wrinkles and things like that, thats a part of life I dont worry about. I put on creams, you know, but dont go mad, and I dont have any kind of treatments. I just live a healthy lifestyle. And staying happy, not getting negative and angry, I think that helps, looking at the positive of everything.
