“I wish my school days could have dragged on a little longer, or that I could go back and do it later in life.”
― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne
“My dream is to go spend a week on some island with no phone.”
― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne
“This modeling thing, it’s pretty easy, but actually it’s also really tough.”
― Cara Delevingne
“The energy you give off is the energy you receive. I really think that, so I’m always myself – jumping, dancing, singing around, trying to cheer everybody up.”
― Cara Delevingne
“Victoria’s Secret is really about celebrating women and what they stand for: the strength.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I worked hard to be accepted by the fashion community in ways beyond my physical appearance. In no time, though, I found myself surrendering to the industry’s approval process. I felt like I needed validation from everyone. As a result, I lost sight of myself and what it meant to be happy, what it meant to be successful.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I love talking to my friends at uni and seeing what they are doing. They’re just finishing their dissertations, and I kind of wish I could live their life for a second. I wish my school days could have dragged on a little longer, or that I could go back and do it later in life.”
― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne
“I love acting. I do it as a hobby. If I was able to have that as a career… Hopefully the fashion thing is a stepping-stone. I was so worried when I started modeling that it would hinder my chances of acting.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I really think that it’s disgusting that Paris is the only place where it is illegal for paps to follow you around. It actually took someone losing their life – Diana, an inspirational woman – and then it changed, but they still won’t change it in London! It’s horrible!”
― Cara Delevingne
“I want to explore the world properly, to be able to write about and take pictures of all kinds of different cultures. Just be an explorer or adventurer. I also love extreme sports.”
― Cara Delevingne
“Women are what completely inspire me, and they have also been my downfall.”
― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne
“Embrace your weirdness!”
― Cara Delevingne
“I need to be able to be at a gig and just put my bag on the floor and not worry about it being stood on or getting ruined. You want a bag that can go through anything. And a little bit of softness is always lovely. If I don’t have a dog, I can just pet my bag!”
― Cara Delevingne
“I’d like to be curvier.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I love figuring out a stranger, sitting down and learning about their loves and struggles and everything. People are my jam.”

― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne
“Ooh, I’d love to be in a movie with Meryl Streep or Martin Scorsese. There are so many different things I want to do, maybe like a possessed child or an evil something… I don’t know!”
― Cara Delevingne
“I always feel that life can teach you how to act. I’m always looking at life through other people’s eyes. By feeling empathy. And I do feel that I am constantly learning.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I love Christopher Bailey and Burberry, Mulberry for bags, and Hudson for jeans. I like a little bit of designer with a bit of vintage and High Street mixed in. I love it when you find those one-off key pieces, which end up becoming investment pieces. I always go for comfort, and like feeling confident and casual.”
― Cara Delevingne
“There’s a really easy way of just kind of wearing make-up but looking like there’s nothing on your face… I’m still not very good at it, and I’m learning slowly.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I’m no Method actor. I’ve tried staying in character, and it’s just exhausting.”
― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne
“I love Christopher Bailey and Burberry, Mulberry for bags, and Hudson for jeans.”
― Cara Delevingne
“Working with Mario Testino was a joy. He’s very young spirited, and it’s always lovely and a pleasure to spend time talking to him about all different things.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I like fashion, but I love, love, love music and film; they are my two passions. I would love to pursue my acting and my love of music more than anything.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I’m a world class Beat Boxer; you should hear the noises I can make with my mouth.”

― Cara Delevingne
“I had no interest in fashion when I was younger. I was such a tomboy.”
― Cara Delevingne
“When you model, there’s no way you can’t notice yourself. Do you know what I mean? Because you’re constantly surrounded by people saying, ‘Oh, she’s too short, she’s too skinny, she’s this, she’s whatever.’ And you’re right there. They’re talking about you, and you’re right there.”
― Cara Delevingne
“What bothers me, I guess, is when I get these messages from girls on Twitter, and they’re like, ‘God, you’re my idol, I really admire you.’ It’s like, ‘Admire me for what? What have I done?’ It’s not that being in a Burberry campaign, or walking in a Chanel show is nothing. It’s just… I know I can do more.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I’ve always wanted to do a shoot with snakes – big snakes, like pythons.”
― Cara Delevingne
“When I was really small, my mother had difficulty keeping me dressed, as I liked to be naked! I definitely had very strong ideas on what I wanted to wear. My favourite look was always Action Man and Spiderman. Now though, I really like beautiful clothes.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I like a little bit of designer, with a bit of vintage and high street mixed in. I love it when you find those one-off key pieces, which end up becoming investment pieces.”

― Cara Delevingne
“I love to beatbox and have been doing it before I even knew what it was.”
― Cara Delevingne
“Fame, do I like it? No. It has bought a lot for me in my career, but there are a lot of downsides to it. You give up your privacy. I did it to myself but not to my family and friends. You don’t ask for it. You just have to live with it.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I want to fall in love, I think. I’ve never. I know. Everyone I know’s been in love or in relationships now and… There’s only ever been… there’s been people telling me they love me, but it freaks me out and I just run, run. I think I’m a bad girlfriend.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I just don’t think that I trust men. That’s the problem. I can appreciate a beautiful-looking man, but he’s not my type.”
― Cara Delevingne
“If I am able to carry on modeling, I’ll be very happy to, but my passion is definitely in music and acting. I would love to do what Meryl Streep is doing. Her or Judi Dench, or maybe Charlize Theron as well.”
― Cara Delevingne
“Fashion Week is horrible. I mean, it isn’t horrible, really – it’s amazing. But having to work that much every day is.”
― Cara Delevingne
“Kids should speak to each other. They’re horrid to each other online, they bully each other – they should shut up and stop it. The problem with social media is there is too much freedom. It’s too much, too young.”
― Cara Delevingne
“It’s hard finding people you trust or who aren’t going to take your money. Everyone wants to get a piece of whatever you’re doing. It’s a nightmare.”
― Cara Delevingne
“When I was younger, I liked money – the feel of it. I would sit with my dad and count his coins and be like, ‘Yeah.’ I’d saved ã700 by the age of 10. I thought: ‘What the hell am I hoarding this for?’ So I bought a drum kit.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I’ve started doing yoga and meditation, but I’m not very good at that kind of thing and turning my brain off.”
― Cara Delevingne
“My way of relaxing was always doing the opposite and playing the drums, but I need to be able to actually chill.”
― Cara Delevingne
“You never realise that you have an impact on people’s lives. There are so many girls that go through so many problems and who come to me. I really try and take time to speak to as many people as possible.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I hyperventilate quite a lot.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I always wake up 10 minutes before I have to be anywhere.”

― Cara Delevingne
“I like to keep my private life private.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I’d love to work with Tarantino, Scorsese, Sofia Coppola – all of them! I love thrillers and action movies. I love good horror films. I watched them so much when I was younger that I find it impossible to get scared.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I just wanted to be like J.Lo when I started. The last thing I want to be is a model-slash-actress. But I love actress-slash-musicians.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I can’t sleep in the evenings. Most of the pictures people see of me are me going to work events: a Fendi dinner one night, a Prada dinner the next, and working all day.”
― Cara Delevingne
“At school, I was a tomboy, and it would be me and all my guy friends.”
― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne
“In school, I was Martha in ‘Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ I loved that.”
― Cara Delevingne
“Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, and I’m sensitive.”
― Cara Delevingne
“As a model, I really stand for not being a model, if that makes sense. When I started, the whole idea of the model was very different; it was a bit stuck-up. Not stuck-up, but no one was trying to have fun, or not even have fun, but be willing to smile.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I’m just not into happy-clappy pop. Unless it’s happy-clappy pop in a good way.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I get a lot of girls who say, ‘I just want to be a model so badly.’ And I think: ‘You can do better than that.’ I mean, look, I do love it, I’m not saying anything bad about it, I just think you can do a lot more.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I got a tattoo saying ‘Made in England’ above my foot to represent that, that I felt like a doll for so long.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I want to behave more like a boy… I want to be the strong one.”
― Cara Delevingne
“The best therapy is actually the more aggressive kind when they break you open; they unleash you.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I need to eat a lot; otherwise, I feel faint. I get in the worst moods if I don’t eat.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I love curves; I’m all about curves. I don’t have many, which is really sad, but I think the more the better.”
― Cara Delevingne
“The thrill of acting is making a character real. Modeling is the opposite of real. It’s being fake in front of the camera.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I grew up in the upper class, for sure. My family was kind of about that whole parties-and-horse racing thing. I can understand it’s fun for some. I never enjoyed it.”
― Cara Delevingne
“Singing, writing songs, is kind of my biggest fear, but it’s the thing I feel I need to conquer.”
― Cara Delevingne
“The thing is, if I ever found a guy I could fall in love with, I’d want to marry him and have his children. And that scares me to death because I think I’m a whole bunch of crazy, and I always worry that a guy will walk away once he really, truly knows me.”
― Cara Delevingne
“In the ’90s, I wouldn’t have been a supermodel.”
― Cara Delevingne
“When you’re coming from a place of living just to work, it’s never as good as you want it to be. It’s never as authentic.”
― Cara Delevingne
“As a child, I used ‘gay’ as a bad word, as in, ‘That’s so gay.’ All my friends did.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I act for love. I give it my all. I would probably still do it even if I wasn’t paid at all. But in terms of equal pay, I need to be paid the same as the guy who has equal billing with me. Otherwise, I won’t do it. Because if you accept less, you’re just letting everyone else down and continuing the cycle.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I think it’s nice to break down that barrier, that models are seen and not heard.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I never really thought about modelling. It wasn’t something I ever wanted to do. I used to always be so angry about modelling.”
― Cara Delevingne

― Cara Delevingne
“It’s strong to be vulnerable. To be able to communicate with other women is one of the most powerful things.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I’ve always been a bit of an inventor, just making up weird things people haven’t thought of before. I can’t tell you exactly what, though, because they might actually happen one day!”
― Cara Delevingne
“When I first started modeling, they used to bleach my eyebrows all the time.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I never do anything to my hair. I just wash it. It tends to get dry, so I just try to put good, natural oils in it. I do a deep conditioning mask, which is quite good.”
― Cara Delevingne
“At fashion shows, my brows often get bleached, and they’ve been dyed back much darker – like jet black, where you can’t even see my skin. Sometimes with Just for Men! What a mistake. At times, the two brows aren’t even the same color!”
― Cara Delevingne
“As a kid, I got teased about my unibrow. Now I love my brows.”
― Cara Delevingne
“I love red or deep purple lips for events.”
― Cara Delevingne
