QUOTES:
Because of my name and my look, it’s sometimes: ‘Wow, I expected broken English or a British accent.’
The attention from the fashion world is something that I didn’t expect. I’ve shot with Bruce Weber and met Karl Lagerfeld. Having that kind of attention is really exciting.
Nudity isn’t something people should take offense to.
I’m a complete foodie, but I’m a terrible cook. If a guy can get me in the kitchen and we actually have fun cooking, that’s amazing.
I was real into theater, and then I tried soccer, acting and ballet. Both my parents didn’t want a child-star model, so I didn’t get into modeling until I was 14.
I’m more of a Smithwick’s or Bulmer’s girl than a pint of Guinness.
I absolutely love Ireland. It’s one of the most beautiful places on Earth, and I have strong ties here. Both my grandmothers are from Ireland, and I have spent every summer in Bantry since my father, who is an artist, had the romantic idea 20 years ago to buy an old farmhouse on the west coast and renovate it.
I’m a big fan of the Irish accent. After a couple of drinks, I start to get a bit of an Irish lilt, too.
I started modeling when I was – not older, but not 12. I have a mom who’s a feminist – she’s an English professor, an intellectual. She really gave me the equipment to understand that you can celebrate yourself without putting yourself down or needing to apologize for the way you look. I think that attitude is really crucial for a model.

People say “history was written by the winners.” No, it wasn’t. It was written by the bullies.
People say history is boring, and that is true because people are boring. We haven’t changed since time began. We’re still the same. We’ve obviously made some changes. When we started, it was all about food, clothing and shelter. Now we watch Top Chef (2006), Project Runway (2004), and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (2003).
on keeping up with as many as ten Twitter posts a day] It’s a sickness, like an addiction. I have all these regulars who follow me, and they’re trying to outdo each other with creative ways to tell me they hate my guts and wish I would get hit by a truck or die in a fire. You find out that all these other people are pretty funny but not as funny as they think sometimes.

QUOTES:
[on The King of Comedy (1982)] I haven’t seen the movie in a long time. How many times can you watch yourself, you know? It’s uncomfortable. I am curious to see it again all cleaned up and restored. The film was so representative of an era in filmmaking when people would take their time in a scene. It wasn’t a case of rush, rush, rush onto the next moment. You had room to breathe, and I think that in itself made people uncomfortable because the topic was so weird and out of left field at the time. Now, expectations of fame and desire run so extreme that the film almost seems tame in comparison, but there’s still something about The King of Comedy (1982) that’s very disarming and offbeat and something you’ll never see again. And so those are the emotions I feel. It was very evocative.
[on the possibility of remaking The King of Comedy (1982)] No way. At one point, Jack Black wanted to remake it, and I was like – I mean I love him, he’s fabulous, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think it would have worked. It’s too late to remake it. We’re here and there’s nothing to really predict. It’s just an ongoing conversation you have every day of the week like, “Can you believe he’s famous?” There’s nothing to say about it. We’re in the middle of it.
[re acting caustic towards audiences in past] I would still be frank and honest and funny, but I’d be more sensitive. I think having a kid and seeing how the world works from that angle, you’re a little more thoughtful and introspective. You don’t want to spend your whole life being bitchy to people. But it worked then, and I’m still able to pull it out if I need to.
