Quotes:

“I just did not have time to sit down and write a book.” – When questioned about her use of a ghost writer for her novel “Swan” (1996). Campbell admitted that she wrote almost none of the book.

I never diet. I smoke. I drink now and then. I never work out. I work very hard, and I am worth every cent.”-December 1999 issue of Playboy

I look at [modeling] as something I’m doing for black people in general.

I don’t think I was born beautiful. I just think I was born me.

I love England, especially the food. There’s nothing I like more than a lovely bowl of pasta.

When I started out modeling, there weren’t casting directors and there weren’t stylists, so you just dealt directly with the designer. We were all much closer back then.
