"The chi of a room is important to me. If I walk into a hotel room and it doesn't feel right, I ask to change."

"I was always in hospital as a kid: I had a tumour on my knee, lots of broken bones. I loved climbing trees."

"A lizard is a perfect pet for a model. They only need feeding once a fortnight. And I'm always travelling, so it's perfect. If I had a dog, it would drop dead of starvation."

"It's because I have no sense of shame that I'm always willing to give things a go: I've ridden horses naked into the sea, I've climbed rocks, all kinds of things."

"New York is such a versatile city, and there's always something new to discover."

"I like my hands. They do most of the talking."

"I try to do things that make me feel good. I go to yoga classes, drink a lot of water, eat healthily and keep things like alcohol and coffee to weekends. I don't overdo anything."

"It's quite rare that you find models taken care of backstage."

"I see potential in everything. It's about opening your mind to what you can do to the garment: because they're cheap, you can cut them or stitch them, and if you stuff it up, it's fine - it's only two dollars."

"Let's just say, if I weren't a model, I'd be a walking collage. I see my body as a blank canvas that's aching to be decorated; I find it all very fascinating."

"My favourite outfit was this black lace dress that I found in a vintage shop in Williamsburg, New York."

"In the end, to do a good accent, you just have to be a good listener."

"I don't get sick much because in the U.S. I always eat with my fingers, you know, to get used to the bacteria."

"The European girls, like the Russians, tend to stick together, but there's never any rivalry. Sometimes there's a little bit of tension with the older girls because they might feel a little threatened by the younger models, but it's not between personalities."

"I'm aiming to do what I need to do for acting and nothing more. I'm bowing down to acting."

"I do my work and do the best I can. I'm quite happy with my anonymity. All I can ever hope for is that I continue to do great work that will be remembered, and I leave my imprint so that my son can say proudly, 'That's my dad!'"

"Throughout my career, even as a very young actor, people have always said to me that they would like to see my Othello. They could see something of him in me, I suppose."

"I have done a lot of work internally to find out who I am, what voice Eamonn Walker has and how he wants to put it out there."

"I'm shy, and I can hide behind my acting and discover the truth about myself because it's cathartic in that way. But I tend not to read reviews."

"In the field of innovation & tech, technology is the canvas where human imagination meets the logic of physical reality."

"We do not build machines to replace our thoughts, but to expand the boundaries of what we can dream. As a influential author, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"The future is compiled from the small lines of code we write today in search of harmony."

"Any person without invincible prejudice who had the same experience would come to the same broad conclusion, viz., that things hitherto held impossible do actually occur."

"The amount of sophistication varies according to the quality of the medium, and to the state of the same medium at different times; it must be attributed in the best cases physiologically to the medium, intellectually to the control."

"We know that communication must be hampered, and its form largely determined, by the unconscious but inevitable influence of a transmitting mechanism, whether that be of a merely mechanical or of a physiological character."

"Death is not extinction. Neither the soul nor the body is extinguished or put out of existence."

"Life must be considered sui generis; it is not a form of energy, nor can it be expressed in terms of something else."

"The old series of sittings with Mrs. Piper convinced me of survival for reasons which I should find it hard to formulate in any strict fashion, but that was their distinct effect."

"The hypothesis of surviving intelligence and personality - not only surviving but anxious and able with difficulty to communicate - is the simplest and most straightforward and the only one that fits all the facts."

"Basing my conclusions on experience I am absolutely convinced not only of survival but of demonstrated survival, demonstrated by occasional interaction with matter in such a way as to produce physical results."
