I'm spoilt. I like my own space. I don't even own a microwave, and men don't like that. They want to be looked after.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
The average British woman is a size 12 to 14, but in modelling, a size 12 is considered huge, which is ridiculous.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
For modern fashion designers, bones are beautiful. I don't know why, but so many people are obsessed with the skeletal look.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I love to lounge, and I particularly love to eat outdoors. It's a throwback to my childhood in Hawaii. I have memories of coming out of the sea and eating corn chips with a strawberry vanilla slush.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
Although I eat healthily, I do enjoy a greasy fry-up, but usually only once a year. I've also got a big Kit-Kat addiction and buy them in bulk.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
My fashion icons are Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Ava Gardner. Their classic looks and clean lines should be the cornerstones of your wardrobe - white cotton shirts, black Capri pants, pencil skirts and ballerina skirts.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
There are lots of things I would love to wear but wouldn't because I know they look stupid on me.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
If I'm on holiday, I travel light, but if it is a work trip, I take everything but the kitchen sink.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
We are constantly driven to believe that women should look a set age or be a certain body size, which is fuelling an obsession with ever more dramatic and invasive steps.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
As the years go by, you get to know yourself better and learn what works for you.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I lost all my investments after everything crashed in 2001. Prior to that, I'd been living off the interest on my investments, which was very healthy because it allowed frequent travel, and I had a lovely apartment.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
My life has been charmed in the sense that I've met some extraordinary people. But at the end of the day, when you go home and you go to bed, and if you're on your own, you never think of yourself in that way. I'm sure not even people like Angelina Jolie think like that.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I've slipped enough times over the years to know the peril of a too-smooth sole, so every time I buy a new pair, I take a pair of scissors or a piece of sandpaper to the bottoms to roughen them up. In my catwalk days, I even used to spit on the soles of shoes before I ventured down the runway.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
For me, my 50s was the decade when my tolerance for heels faded. I'm in good shape and, at 8 st. 3 lb., I'm still the same weight I was in my 30s, but as you get older, the weight of your body shifts somehow.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
When I do wear heels, I prefer to only wear them to dinner, where I'll be sitting down most of the time.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
The fact is, after a certain age, high heels can feel as painful as someone sticking hot pins into the soles of your feet.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I've been lucky: my Japanese genes - from my mother's side - and a lifelong moisturising routine have helped keep me looking good.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I always wear the same thing: a tight white shirt - I have about 50 - and tight black trousers.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
A lot of women lose definition around their waist as they get older, which can mean their bottom half can look shapeless.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I genuinely have to work - I don't have enough money not to. But the last thing I would want is to be looked after.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I like naughty boys. I was married to David Bailey, who was one of the naughtiest. I like real men, and I like masculinity.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
When you live with a photographer, you never have a day off - it was a nightmare.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
My livelihood depends on my surface beauty, but when I wash my face, I see a real person there.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I don't particularly like children. That sounds awful, but I have nothing to say to them.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
There are loads of women that don't want children. What does it matter? I'm still a woman.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I'm well trained. The only reason I am this slim is that I have to fit into the clothes. The samples are size 8, and I am naturally a size 10 to 12. I have been on a diet for my entire life.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I sometimes overeat or drink too much, but I don't eat chocolate, and I gave up smoking when I was 39.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I haven't eaten meat since I was 17, so I take Vitamin C, a B complex, Omegas-3-6-9, glucosamine, and antioxidants to make sure my body stays healthy.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
My marriage to David Bailey ended one morning in 1983, while he was away on a photo-shoot.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I wasn't interested in having children of my own. I know what would have happened - I'd have been left at home to look after the kids, and my career would have been over while my husband travelled the world.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
But I'd made up my mind early on in life that I never wanted to be a mother.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
It would be nice to see a fashion range that is geared towards a vibrant, sexual, confident 50-something.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I think a mother needs to be with mothers. I don't know what they talk about.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I am thrilled to be modelling the debut collection of Always Aliza. Janet Reger was such an iconic brand throughout my modelling career, and it feels great to now be modelling her daughter's range for JD Williams almost forty years on.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I have nothing against cosmetic procedures, but I don't want my face lasered. Also, people are naive about how much you can do with make-up and lighting, and I've learned from the best.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I don't wear mini-skirts or shorts because I have thread veins on my legs and cellulite, and I won't wear tights.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
There are lots of things I won't eat but would like to, such as croissants or ice cream - if I started, I'd scoff the whole tub.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
I lost count of how many times photographers and designers would tell me to lose a bit of weight, especially as I got a little older and my body started to develop.
Quote by -Marie Helvin
When I see images of a girl who is obviously far too thin, I am just as shocked as anyone else.
