Helena Christensen

It's incredible to have been part of fashion history - my whole career has been one big highlight.

Denmark is like a secret little place with its own special language.

Kate is going to come back, she is going to be super-strong again. Everybody is going to want her again because she is that kind of person. She is very professional and beautiful and she is going to be around forever.

I wasn't worried about turning 40 at all.

Like any woman, I worry about my body.

I'm a fun person. I like cracking jokes and being completely nerdy.

I've taken my knickers off. My friends told me my panty line was visible, so I went without.

I would love to photograph Stephen Hawking. I am just fascinated by science, I really am.

I love playing around with vintage fabrics and lace.

I find it utterly bizarre that total strangers write about your life in a completely fictional manner.

Some designers retain a sense of humour about what they do, but others are deathly serious and have no life outside of it; they're lying awake night after night constructing dresses in their heads.

When you are modelling, you are creating a picture, a still life, perhaps something like a silent film. You convey emotion but you are only using your body.
