Erin O'Connor Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Erin O'Connor:

Growing up, I had an insane crush on Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys.

I am selective. If I do splash out, it's an investment, and I wear things for years.

Erin O'Connor

Caution is the key to safe cycling. I'm aware that cars are bigger than me, but I feel quite safe. I'm in control, liberated and free, when I'm on my bike.

Erin O'Connor

I'm bad at rationalisation - very bad.

Erin O'Connor

I am concerned about ageism and the loss of beauty - the perception that as you grow older, you 'lose your looks,' which I think is diabolical.

Erin O'Connor

When I was 13 or 14, my parents had a bit of a windfall so bought a lovely new kitchen, but I burnt it down. I was making cheese on toast when flames escaped from the grill. My father stopped the fire with blind panic and excessive water. I was forgiven, but it put me off cooking for years.

Erin O'Connor

I think most models fear growing old, but from a tender age I had always chosen to play someone grown up. I am slowly but surely catching up with the people that I have spent the last decade and a half trying to portray.

Erin O'Connor

I do like shopping high street, but I do consider the long-term value of a specific piece and, also, one day giving it up for somebody else to love and enjoy.

Erin O'Connor

For my last meal, I'd want an Irish breakfast with soda bread and one of my dad's omelettes with three or four eggs.

Erin O'Connor

Starting my career in London was no accident because the city and the industry here are all about theatre and drama, and I respond well to that.

Erin O'Connor

As a small child, me and my pals fantasised about one day owning an ice-cream van. To have ice creams on demand would have been a dream come true.

Erin O'Connor

Winter is my favourite season.

Erin O'Connor

I am the world's laziest shopper, but very rarely have I had to take anything back.

Erin O'Connor

I seem to disappoint people a bit. They want the full regalia - but I don't walk around in a corset the whole time.

Erin O'Connor

I am aware it's easy and may be fashionable to pose with a slum child, and the irony of getting the media along means that it can come across as disingenuous. But you take these things on board, and you hope you mean it whenever you get stuck into something.

Erin O'Connor

With high fashion, it's a performance. You're trying to interpret a fantasy in a very physical way, and you really are playing a character. I've played men, dead people, famous people, historical icons, and it's no mean feat. It's quite an insular experience even though the crowd is in front of you and there's an expectation.

Erin O'Connor

In my job, I am portrayed as a misfit, a grandiose high fashion lady or an unearthly creature. At home, it's important I can look in the mirror, strip away the disguise and be comfortable with who stares back.

Erin O'Connor

Growing up, I had an insane crush on Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys.

Erin O'Connor

My job is to sell clothes to very rich women.

Erin O'Connor

The Model Sanctuary is not about self-indulgence - it's about reminding and allowing them to become self-sufficient human beings. I wanted to alert people to the fact that we're not the victims, but nor are we the villains. We want fair practice and positive, sustainable change, working with the fashion industry, not against it.

Erin O'Connor

I am rubbish at the gym. I prefer to exercise by moving around - it doesn't matter whether I am dancing on a Friday night or on my bike getting from A to B.

Erin O'Connor

Fear has been my biggest friend. Fear of the unknown. Whenever I've been afraid, I've been very self-protective.

Erin O'Connor

I enjoy travelling the world, but nowhere beats Walsall.

Erin O'Connor

My style has been nurtured over time. It's more about knowing what doesn't suit you. I love suits and anything sharp, and I know that shape suits me. I don't feel feminine in floaty dresses with spaghetti straps - I feel more like Freddie Mercury in drag.

Erin O'Connor

My perfect bag would be practical but also have the stylish element to it; it would be bold and colourful. I would actually be able to open and close it. That would be a first.

Erin O'Connor

Fashion is intoxicating, and it plays a part in all of our everyday lives. A lot of people use it as a form of escape, of realising a fantasy, and in some ways that becomes an unobtainable norm.

Erin O'Connor

At school I was very shy and coincidentally inherited the title 'little miss worry guts,' and that was just among the staff. I learned early on that I could make people laugh, and as my small neat body betrayed me by growing to dizzying heights, I used it as a tool that translated into complete slap-stick comedy.

Erin O'Connor

The 'Best of British' is a positive thing that's bandied around, but also it's applied pressure to our country in terms of economic growth. I think we've always felt the rest of the world is so much more powerful in terms of being commercially viable, but we can take great pride in our level of creativity.

Erin O'Connor

Someone once referred to modeling as being like winning the lottery gene pool. It's such an odd way to put things, but what is different about modelling is that the industry often picks you.

Erin O'Connor

When I first began modeling, I was very conventional looking. I had hair down to my waist in a side parting - almost church-like. But beneath the sheath of hair lay this Amazonian, strong-looking frame.

Erin O'Connor

As a child I wanted to be a ballerina, ice-cream van owner, wife of George Michael, a nun, and a music conductor.

Erin O'Connor

I can play the flute. Music was my favourite A-level, and I used to love composing my and stylising my voice to sound like 90's singing sensation Tori Amos.

Erin O'Connor

It's like recycling: selling old clothes to help make new ones.

Erin O'Connor

My hair is an untidy bob. I am very dark, but I embellish the roots because I am white in one clump.

Erin O'Connor

It's not about hiding your imperfections on a shoot; it's about embracing them and being unapologetic about them.
