Campbell: "I make a lot of money and I'm worth every cent."

Campbell: "I'm very observant and very instinctive. In life, you have to have the vulnerability to accept when you are to blame. And I do have that, and I am open enough to say it."

Campbell: "I live my life day by day, and that's how I continue to live it."

Campbell: "I'm always trying to do the impossible to please people. It comes from not being secure in myself and not looking at the things within I have to fix. Sometimes you keep going because you don't want to face the truth."

Campbell: "Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness."

Campbell: "I like to control everything, and you cannot control everything. You have to at some point say, 'I let go and I'm going to let the cards fall where they fall... For a control freak, it's hard."

Campbell: “Progress always involves risk; you can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first.”

Campbell: "It's a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don't like is predictable."

Campbell: "I've been doing my job well for 17 years. People must see something in me. Otherwise, I'd be over and out."

Campbell: "I don't work out as much as I should, but I do believe that it's a healthy mind as well as a healthy body that keeps me fit, sound and calm."

Campbell: "If you have to talk to more than three people about the same problem, you don't want help, you want attention."

Campbell: "I've always been very shy of doing television. I've always said 'no.' Not to be disrespectful to anyone - I didn't want to say 'yes' and then let people down."

Campbell: "I don't like workouts that make you bulky."

Campbell: "I loved watching so many of the great designers I've worked with do what they do. That's why I'm still loyal to the designers that I've known since I was 16."

Campbell: "Look, you have to make mistakes. That's how you learn and that's how the world works."

Campbell: "Well, when I started modeling in the mid-'80s, the girls who did shows did shows, and the girls who did magazines did magazines. That's what was understood."

Campbell: "Am I bossy? Absolutely. I don't like to lose, and if I'm told 'no,' then I find another way to get my 'yes.' But I'm a loyal person."

Campbell: "I don't always wear underwear. When I'm in the heat, especially, I can't wear it. Like, if I'm wearing a flower dress, why do I have to wear underwear?"

Campbell: "I've cracked a lot of my boyfriends' emotions but it was good for them."

Campbell: "I would ask my mother to show me how to walk - and she did show me. That's why I think it's funny when people say, 'Did so-and-so teach you how to walk?' And I always say, 'You must be talking about my mother, because it was my mother who taught me how to walk.'"

Campbell: "I'm not set on a pedestal where I think I'm too high and mighty."

Campbell: "I like to control everything, and you cannot control everything. You have to at some point say, 'I let go and I'm going to let the cards fall where they fall...' For a control freak, it's hard."

Campbell: "I don't think I was born beautiful. I just think I was born me."

Campbell: "I feel very responsible for young models of colour. They come to me and tell me they're not getting jobs, and I do what I can to speak up for them."

Campbell: "I'm not angry. And I don't like the thing of the 'angry black woman,' either."

Campbell: "I've been offered jobs by companies that supported apartheid many times in the 25 years of my modeling career, but I have never taken one of them. I have to refuse that money, because I'm not going to work against my people. They've suffered enough."

Campbell: "What makes a person is the ability to look at themselves and deal with their own lives."

Campbell: "I like the men to wear the pants. I don't want to wear the pants. I like men who know what they want, know what they're doing, make their own decisions... As much as I like to be the controller, it's not in my best interest."

Campbell: "Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort."

Campbell: "Patrick Demarchelier was the one who got me my first 'Vogue' cover. It was French 'Vogue' - I think in '87 or '88. I think I was the first black model to be on the cover of French Vogue, which was shocking to me because when I asked them about it, they were like, 'Oh, no. We've never had that before.'"

Campbell: "The chocolate and crisps come in at times. You have to allow the little things that make you happy. I'm not extreme about what I eat."
