Quotes by Lily Cole

“Kate Moss has had such a phenomenal career and I wouldnt even like to compare myself to her. Its amazing that people are going to put my name close to hers.”

“That wasnt her job in the first place. She signed her face away, she didnt sign her life away. She didnt suggest she was going be a role model.”

“Fashion loves Kate and I think shes cool and shes going to make it through.”

“I hear its beaten London to fourth place and its definitely making its mark.”

The average Londoner knows just one neighbour. I travel a lot, and Im always surprised by the strong sense of community in some countries. Weve lost something fundamentally human, and we dont even realise it.

I dont think of myself as a role model for others, but I like to live my life by my own integrity. So, in that sense, I might be a positive influence. I do believe you should get over your insecurities and just try to be the best you can.

Theres an inherent contradiction between appreciating the beauty of clothes and creativity and individuality, and the waste around the ideas of trends and seasons.
