I am not a diva: I am a Jones. 'Diva' is so overused. Diva, icons, the whole thing, legends... To be a diva, what is that?
Grace Jones
I go feminine, I go masculine. I am both, actually. I think the male side is a bit stronger in me, and I have to tone it down sometimes. I'm not like a normal woman, that's for sure.
I have been so copied by those people who have made fortunes that people assume I am that rich. But I did things for the excitement, the dare, the fact that it was new, not for the money. And too many times I was the first, not the beneficiary.
For me, a diva is like the great opera singer, the great film star - out of reach, in their own world, with a real gift for invention: attention-demanding performance artists with a flamboyant, compelling sense of their own importance so special and inimitable it verges on the alien.
I loved all those classic figures from the '30s and '40s... Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayworth. They had such glamour and style. I loved the movies of those times too - so much attention paid to details, lights, clothing, the way the studios would develop talent.
One creates oneself.
Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.
I'm not as impatient as I used to be. I used to hit people if I didn't like what they were saying. Just lash out. 'Bam - shut up! Hahahah!' I was terrible.
I feel feminine when I feel feminine. I feel masculine when I feel masculine. I am a role switcher.
Hiding, secrets, and not being able to be yourself is one of the worst things ever for a person. It gives you low self-esteem. You never get to reach that peak in your life. You should always be able to be yourself and be proud of yourself.
I only move forwards, never backwards, darling.
Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.
I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.
I just go with the flow, I follow the yellow brick road. I don't know where it's going to lead me, but I follow it.
I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it's up to them to find that quality and let it live.
I've been watching Maybelline commercials since I was little and singing along with the jingle and doing little Maybelline commercials in my bathroom when I was, like, 10.
Gigi Hadid
I represent a body image that wasn't accepted in high fashion before, and I'm very lucky to be supported by the designers, stylists, and editors that I am: ones that know this is fashion; this is art. It can never stay the same. It's 2015.
Using the right colour is the most important thing. When sculpting is well done, it just looks like you have great brows.
Even if I have no other makeup on, I always want a nude lip, and if I'm going to do a bright, I want it to be matte.
Boxing has been great for me because it's, like, my new sport, so it's something that I can get better at.
I grew up on the beach, so I'm really comfortable in a bathing suit, playing volleyball, running around.
A lot of the time, we're shooting summer campaigns in winter because they have to come out the next season. It's the hardest to feel great in a bikini when it's cold... so I appreciate a swimsuit shoot that's in warm weather.
I'm really lucky to have a lot of friends in fashion. I don't know if that's common, but I just get along with a lot of people. My really close friends are Ireland Baldwin, Kendall Jenner, Lily Aldridge and Devon Windsor.
When you're two, three, four years old, it's not really modelling. You run around, and they give you toys in a fun place, and they take pictures of you playing.
