Whilst I may look good, I do find it hard to find the right man.		101
I think I'm living in the wrong century. I would have made a great courtesan. Not a mistress - I could never be kept - but a courtesan with my own rules.		102
I'm known for my big hair and curls.		103
I definitely think men prefer women more undone and natural than butch and masculine. They prefer a fresher, sexier, more feminine look.		104
As the years go by, you get to know yourself better and learn what works for you.		105
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.		106
I don't do a lot of looking back; I tend to look ahead.		107
We don't do funerals in my family.		108
I was brought up by parents who embraced the 1960s and taught me that being faithful isn't the be-all and end-all.		109
I have sun damage. I cover it up with make-up.		110
I go to the gym four times a week for 45 minutes to an hour without fail; I like using weights for muscle tone and the bike and rower for my heart rate. I do quite a lot of floor exercises.		111
I lead a very disciplined life.		112
I don't have children, and I'm not in a relationship, so I have the time to devote to myself.		113
I don't wear mini-skirts or shorts because I have thread veins on my legs and cellulite, and I won't wear tights.		114
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.		115
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.		116
I think a mother needs to be with mothers. I don't know what they talk about.		117
The only thing I can't change is the elasticity of my skin.		118
It would be nice to see a fashion range that is geared towards a vibrant, sexual, confident 50-something.		119
But I'd made up my mind early on in life that I never wanted to be a mother.		120
Monogamy is not something that's important to me. I don't think it defines love.		121
I'm slim for professional reasons, and I work at it. I really want to continue working. There aren't that many models who are still doing it at 60.		122
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.		123
My marriage to David Bailey ended one morning in 1983, while he was away on a photo-shoot.		124
Even in the early Eighties, when I was one of the most successful models in Britain, I didn't really have a voice. Time after time, when I should have spoken up, I simply walked away.		125
Not having alcohol has kept the weight off around my waist; my skin feels so much better, and I am sleeping really well.		126
I never get asked out by men my own age, as they all want to go out with 20-year-olds, and the men that do ask me out are too young.		201
I am a vegetarian. I don't want to have anything injected into me that I can't eat. I am a real health nut. I look after myself well.		202
I was addicted to 'The Monkees' TV programme - not so much because of the music but because of the commercials in between. The programme was sponsored by Yardley, and in the commercial breaks, there would be these English girls on roller skates, wearing hot pants, and I just thought, 'God! How neat!'		203
I'm good at many, many things, but the one thing I've never been good at is relationships.		204
If you believe, as I do believe, in reincarnation, they say that every time you come back, it's because you have to finish something. I've a funny feeling that my thing in this life is to have one relationship after another.		205
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.		206
I sometimes overeat or drink too much, but I don't eat chocolate, and I gave up smoking when I was 39.		207
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.		208
I hate Botox, but a fabulous-looking friend of mine told me her secret was this gadget that uses electrical impulses to tone your facial muscles. It works!		209
Smiling makes you and others feel better, and it makes you look younger.		210
I wouldn't mind being in a relationship, but there's no reason to marry.		211
I like living on my own. I'm happy for a man to come over. I'll cook for him; he can spend the night occasionally, but then I want him to leave. I'm too independent.		212
I'm 56 - I don't want to look like I'm 20.		213
Surgery is not going to improve your skin - all it's going to do is make you look tighter, like Joan Rivers!		214
I can't stand small babies. I would rather give birth to a kitten or a colt... a little pony.		215
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.	Diet	216
To be honest, the reason I have my cats is to force myself to think about something other than myself.		217
I don't see myself as the next Carmen Dell'Orefice. I'd rather be fat and happy, sitting on a beach in Hawaii eating pizza.		218
I've never met a size zero person. Is Paris Hilton a size zero? I've met her. She looked very thin, but she looked very healthy. She had beautiful skin.		219
There are loads of women that don't want children. What does it matter? I'm still a woman.		220
I don't particularly like children. That sounds awful, but I have nothing to say to them.		221
My livelihood depends on my surface beauty, but when I wash my face, I see a real person there.		222
The two times I have cut my hair shorter, I've ended up out of work - so short hair is not an option.		223
Sixties models knew nothing about skin care.		224
Cheating is never to do with how attractive you are.		225
When you live with a photographer, you never have a day off - it was a nightmare.		226
I'm not bothered about clothes. Never have been.		301
I like naughty boys. I was married to David Bailey, who was one of the naughtiest. I like real men, and I like masculinity.		302
I'm not a pretty-boy kind of a girl; the Brad Pitts don't do anything for me.		303
Men are intimidated by me: I very rarely get asked out.		304
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.		305
When you're a model, you learn how to make the most of your assets - in my case, the smallish behind that is the legacy of my half-Japanese heritage.		306
As a girl, I lived in jeans, and my love-affair with them continues. Since I turned 50, jeans have become something of a uniform, whether it's a slouchy boyfriend fit for daytime or a leaner, fitted jean in a darker denim for evening.		307
A lot of women lose definition around their waist as they get older, which can mean their bottom half can look shapeless.		308
A secret control slip is a wonderful invention. It sculpts and lifts the bum and smooths the hips.		309
I love fashion, but I don't really do shopping.		310
I'm interested only in buying land in my native Hawaii so that one day I can live there and have the space to rescue animals.		311
I don't have any children, but I can leave my land to an animal sanctuary. That is what I dream about, not bags, not shoes.		312
I always wear the same thing: a tight white shirt - I have about 50 - and tight black trousers.		313
People were endlessly trying to set me up with 'eligible' men, and I enjoyed going on a galaxy of dates.		314
I've been lucky: my Japanese genes - from my mother's side - and a lifelong moisturising routine have helped keep me looking good.		315
The fact is, after a certain age, high heels can feel as painful as someone sticking hot pins into the soles of your feet.		316
When I do wear heels, I prefer to only wear them to dinner, where I'll be sitting down most of the time.		317
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.		318
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.		319
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.		320
I try to be as positive as I can because I truly believe I am my feelings, and if I'm sad, if I have regrets, they will show up as illnesses, they will show up as cancers... I don't want that.	Sad	321
When you've been touched by sadness and grief, it makes you vulnerable. And because I am vulnerable, I try to be positive. And when I say 'try,' I really do mean try, because it's an effort.		322
I had a very spoilt childhood. Not that my family were incredibly wealthy, but we lived on the beautiful island of Hawaii where everything was lush and in abundance.		323
When I began modelling in my late teens, I started to earn a lot of money very, very quickly, but I'd never been shown how to manage it properly.		324
Myself and my two younger sisters and brother were paid for any chores, whether it was washing pop's car, sweeping the lawn or picking mangoes.		325
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.		326
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.		401
My favourite scent... changes every day. I have a cupboard full - so many I can't begin to tell you.		402
Most English people are horrified that I use soap, but I like it - it works for my skin. I try different soaps all the time, but I use very mild ones.		403
If I'm not in work, I don't wear any make-up.		404
My sister Naomi and I always wanted to go to Tahiti. We planned a fantastic holiday to visit several islands, but at the last moment, Naomi cancelled. It was the first time I'd holidayed alone, and it was absolutely the best.		405
I grew up in neighbouring Hawaii, where Tahiti is regarded as a brother.		406
I loved Le Taha'a private resort in Tahiti. It's accessible only by private boat or helicopter, and it sits on a tiny strip of land just big enough for one hotel. It's extraordinary and faces the Vanilla Island where Tahitians grow vanilla.		407
If I'm on holiday, I travel light, but if it is a work trip, I take everything but the kitchen sink.		408
There are lots of things I would love to wear but wouldn't because I know they look stupid on me.		409
When you get older, your skin tone changes; your hair probably changes colour, whether you dye it or not, and you just can't wear the colours you used to like anymore.		410
For most of us, no matter how slim, middle-aged spread really does set in, and your waist thickens, irrespective of whether you've had children or if you exercise regularly.		411
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.		412
I'm not keen on the English way of eating outside, on the street. I want food that is clean, not impregnated with toxic fumes.		413
Fresh seafood reminds me of Hawaii and eating raw ahi fish on the beach with a little soy sauce - instant sashimi.		414
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.		415
When I see images of a girl who is obviously far too thin, I am just as shocked as anyone else.		416
For modern fashion designers, bones are beautiful. I don't know why, but so many people are obsessed with the skeletal look.		417
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.		418
The average British woman is a size 12 to 14, but in modelling, a size 12 is considered huge, which is ridiculous.		419
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.		420
