Cara Delevingne

I want to behave more like a boy... I want to be the strong one.

My sexuality is not a phase. I am who I am.

I love figuring out a stranger, sitting down and learning about their loves and struggles and everything. People are my jam.

Singing, writing songs, is kind of my biggest fear, but it's the thing I feel I need to conquer.

I grew up in the upper class, for sure. My family was kind of about that whole parties-and-horse racing thing. I can understand it's fun for some. I never enjoyed it.

The thrill of acting is making a character real. Modeling is the opposite of real. It's being fake in front of the camera.

There's a really easy way of just kind of wearing make-up but looking like there's nothing on your face... I'm still not very good at it, and I'm learning slowly.

I love curves; I'm all about curves. I don't have many, which is really sad, but I think the more the better.

I need to eat a lot; otherwise, I feel faint. I get in the worst moods if I don't eat.

I love a vintage look that's also a bit rock n' roll.

I love Christopher Bailey and Burberry, Mulberry for bags, and Hudson for jeans. I like a little bit of designer with a bit of vintage and High Street mixed in. I love it when you find those one-off key pieces, which end up becoming investment pieces. I always go for comfort, and like feeling confident and casual.

The best therapy is actually the more aggressive kind when they break you open; they unleash you.

Women are what completely inspire me, and they have also been my downfall.

I got a tattoo saying 'Made in England' above my foot to represent that, that I felt like a doll for so long.

I'm just not into happy-clappy pop. Unless it's happy-clappy pop in a good way.

As a model, I really stand for not being a model, if that makes sense. When I started, the whole idea of the model was very different; it was a bit stuck-up. Not stuck-up, but no one was trying to have fun, or not even have fun, but be willing to smile.

In school, I was Martha in 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' I loved that.

I wish my school days could have dragged on a little longer, or that I could go back and do it later in life.

At school, I was a tomboy, and it would be me and all my guy friends.

I can't sleep in the evenings. Most of the pictures people see of me are me going to work events: a Fendi dinner one night, a Prada dinner the next, and working all day.

I just wanted to be like J.Lo when I started. The last thing I want to be is a model-slash-actress. But I love actress-slash-musicians.

I fall asleep everywhere! Someone recently asked if they could publish a book of pictures of me sleeping because there are so many.

I always wake up 10 minutes before I have to be anywhere.

I have a great support network - my family, my model agency Storm, and people I work with in the fashion industry. And, of course, there are all my followers on Twitter who stop me from feeling lonely; I love them all. They keep me grounded.

When you are clinically diagnosed with depression as a teenager, sometimes people don't understand it. You feel like you should be happy, especially when you have a very lucky upbringing, and you blame yourself.

I'd like to be curvier.

With acting, the last thing you do is try to look pretty. Modeling actually makes acting harder - it makes you so self-aware.

I love red or deep purple lips for events.

As a kid, I got teased about my unibrow. Now I love my brows.

At fashion shows, my brows often get bleached, and they've been dyed back much darker - like jet black, where you can't even see my skin. Sometimes with Just for Men! What a mistake. At times, the two brows aren't even the same color!

I never do anything to my hair. I just wash it. It tends to get dry, so I just try to put good, natural oils in it. I do a deep conditioning mask, which is quite good.

When I first started modeling, they used to bleach my eyebrows all the time.

I want to explore the world properly, to be able to write about and take pictures of all kinds of different cultures. Just be an explorer or adventurer. I also love extreme sports.

I've always been a bit of an inventor, just making up weird things people haven't thought of before. I can't tell you exactly what, though, because they might actually happen one day!

Once I find a bag that I love, I wear it always. I just don't change my bags. I literally find one and stay with it.

It's strong to be vulnerable. To be able to communicate with other women is one of the most powerful things.

I hyperventilate quite a lot.

I love talking to my friends at uni and seeing what they are doing. They're just finishing their dissertations, and I kind of wish I could live their life for a second. I wish my school days could have dragged on a little longer, or that I could go back and do it later in life.

I never really thought about modelling. It wasn't something I ever wanted to do. I used to always be so angry about modelling.

I think it's nice to break down that barrier, that models are seen and not heard.

I act for love. I give it my all. I would probably still do it even if I wasn't paid at all. But in terms of equal pay, I need to be paid the same as the guy who has equal billing with me. Otherwise, I won't do it. Because if you accept less, you're just letting everyone else down and continuing the cycle.

When you're coming from a place of living just to work, it's never as good as you want it to be. It's never as authentic.

I worked hard to be accepted by the fashion community in ways beyond my physical appearance. In no time, though, I found myself surrendering to the industry's approval process. I felt like I needed validation from everyone. As a result, I lost sight of myself and what it meant to be happy, what it meant to be successful.

I started modeling when I was 16. The odds were against me. At 5' 8, I was shorter than most girls in the business. Still, I gave it a shot, and like with most things in my life, I never gave up.

I'm no Method actor. I've tried staying in character, and it's just exhausting.

In the '90s, I wouldn't have been a supermodel.

The thing is, if I ever found a guy I could fall in love with, I'd want to marry him and have his children. And that scares me to death because I think I'm a whole bunch of crazy, and I always worry that a guy will walk away once he really, truly knows me.

I love Christopher Bailey and Burberry, Mulberry for bags, and Hudson for jeans.

I'm a world class Beat Boxer; you should hear the noises I can make with my mouth.

I like fashion, but I love, love, love music and film; they are my two passions. I would love to pursue my acting and my love of music more than anything.
