Helena Christensen quotes about

I don't look at fashion the way other people do.

I felt like I was in the best photography school in the world - I had Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Richard Avedon and Irving Penn teach me.
pounds cheese weakness
Cheese is one of my great weaknesses, I could eat the stuff by the pound.
secret special littles
Denmark is like a secret little place with its own special language.
meaningful sea brain
In modelling, there is no point in trying to prove you have a brain, so why even bother? I'd sooner save the energy for something more meaningful.
fashion careers incredibles
It's incredible to have been part of fashion history - my whole career has been one big highlight.
photography interesting use
I am very much aware of the visual side of things. I do a lot of photography. I often take Polaroids of things that strike me as visually interesting, just to remember them and perhaps use later.
play voice actors
When on the set of a film, you have to play natural for entire scenes in a very unnatural environment. You have to express emotions and interact with other actors and also use your voice.
taken lines knickers
I've taken my knickers off. My friends told me my panty line was visible, so I went without.
silent-films creating body
When you are modelling, you are creating a picture, a still life, perhaps something like a silent film. You convey emotion but you are only using your body.
lying night serious
Some designers retain a sense of humour about what they do, but others are deathly serious and have no life outside of it; they're lying awake night after night constructing dresses in their heads.
pounds cheese streets
There've been times when I've bought a whole pound of cheese and walked down the street and eaten it in one go.
strong sleep years
You are by yourself for the best years of your life. You sleep in airports. If it doesn't kill you it makes you strong.
home stores
Everything we have is everything we love - it's basically like we picked for our homes and then just put it for sale in a store.
