Name:  Cara Delevingne 

"It’s pretty bad right now, It never really started happening until I was working a lot and probably not taking care of myself. My skin just got really bad. My body was telling me to stop. It was horrible, I would look in the mirror and hate the person I saw. My God, I’ve just never wanted so badly to be out of my body. I’d just be looking at myself like, ‘So disgusting.’ I still kind of feel that but now it’s part of me and I accept it."

"If I stop, I go crazy. I lose my mind. I just kind of break down a little bit. For [Valerian], at the beginning, it was five days a week, super-focused, and then I’d have the weekend off. And I’m living in Paris, so every weekend I’d just be with my dog and watch TV and read scripts and feel like I was living a normal life again. And then some personal stuff happened, I repressed it, and I started accepting all these [modelling] jobs that I shouldn’t. And I started running away into work again."

"If I’m going through something bad I don’t call anyone. My friends don’t know when things are bad with me, not really. I’m so good at being fine and smiling. That’s the easiest thing."

"So many kids now, they don’t want to meet you to talk to you. They’re just like, ‘I want a photo of you to show people. They’ll literally come up to you and grab your face, take a picture of you. Like, ‘Dude, what the fuck?’ It’s kind of mad. I’ll be in a toilet cubicle and there’ll be someone waiting outside to take a picture. Or I’ll be crying at a table and someone will come up to me like, ‘Ooh, can I take a photo?’ I’m like, ‘Oh crap. Can I, like, say, “No”?"

"It was like, ‘OK, if I get a modelling job, I’ll be happy.’ I got a modelling job, I still wasn’t happy. ‘OK, I want an acting role.’ I got an acting role. ‘OK, I’m still not happy so I need another one.’ It’s constantly searching for happiness outside of yourself, which just doesn’t work. Like, my whole happiness was based on how much I was working and that’s just such an empty place to be because it’s just really nothing to do with that."
