When I moved to Paris at 16, I held a dinner party in my first apartment and served only red wine, French fries, and mashed potatoes. Unable to cook, I relied on people taking me out. – Jerry Hall
Yves Saint Laurent was my first fashion show. I wore his tuxedo. And Helmut Newton was my first photographer, in 1973. I was really very lucky. I had an amazing career. – Jerry Hall
The problem with cosmetic surgery is that people who have it can only see how they look in the mirror. They don’t realise how weird they look from other angles. I particularly hate the injections that puff out the face, which are hideous. – Jerry Hall
My first airplane trip was to Paris. I had this fantasy that I would become a model, and I did! – Jerry Hall
‘Wild Horses’ is my favourite Stones song. It’s so beautiful. I don’t mind that it was written for Bianca. – Jerry Hall
When it comes to clothing, I’ve got one really hard and fast rule: never wear beige. That’s such an old-lady colour. – Jerry Hall
I really am glad that the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has had the courage to stand up and say that children should not be hit under any circumstances. I am a committed supporter of this campaigning charity for children. – Jerry Hall
My long, blonde hair has been my trademark ever since I started modelling in the Seventies, when I was scouted sunbathing in St Tropez. – Jerry Hall
I am 58. That is pretty old, for God’s sake. I look pretty good for my age, and I am enjoying that. – Jerry Hall
A lot happens at 50, the best thing being that you just don’t care anymore. At 40, you still care. At 30, you care way too much – and your twenties are quite frankly a nightmare. Bring on 60, I say: just imagine the joy of having grandchildren. – Jerry Hall
Laughing a lot is really good for you, embracing your children’s future and embracing your grandchildren, and not having regrets and not being bitter and not being angry. – Jerry Hall
Of course, it’s no fun getting old and getting sick and dying; we all know that’s coming, and it’s a bore. – Jerry Hall
Quantum physics is quite interesting. All these tiny particles are there as much as they’re not there. That to me is very, very interesting. And how our thoughts change the outcome of an experiment, I think that’s all quite spiritual. – Jerry Hall
I have gone out with younger men, and they’re great fun; they’ve got enthusiasm. Stamina! But I think older men are much better lovers. – Jerry Hall
I always wanted to have a family – that was one of my big wishes. And in school, I’d taken drama, and I’d always wanted to act. I did go to drama school in New York, Los Angeles and London, and I did small parts here and there, but I never really had the time. Modeling was always paying more. – Jerry Hall
Fashion is fun, but it’s not that important, really, is it? It’s important to have other intellectual and creative interests. – Jerry Hall
I guess I’ve always been a groupie. My first date was a bull rider called Tommy Lee Bryant. We’d go to the rodeo every Saturday and Sunday. The bull riders were the cool guys. – Jerry Hall
The thing I’m most proud of is that I’ve raised a lot of money for certain charities – breast cancer and the Caldecott Foundation and the NSPCC. But as far as my self-esteem is concerned, doing ‘The Graduate’ for 11 months was fantastic. – Jerry Hall
I used to hang out with Salvador Dali a lot. He was such a nice man. I really liked his wife Gala, too. People say that she was tricky, but she was never difficult with me. – Jerry Hall
I’m a fan of very, very expensive creams: Creme de la Mer, La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe. I’m a huge fan. They work. – Jerry Hall
It’s better not to wear too much jewellery – just a couple of nice things, nothing too rattly – and stick to kitten heels or flats. Women let themselves down with tall heels. I think they’re kind of vulgar. I see women sinking into grass at outdoor parties or tiptoeing over gravel at weddings. It’s silly. You need to be practical. – Jerry Hall
I was 5′ 10 when I was 14, skinny and flat, with huge feet, and I never had a boyfriend. – Jerry Hall
