I shouldn't smoke, but I do. The problem is, if you are a model, what do you do when you are not modelling? The life of a supermodel isn’t all parties, fashion shoots and long flights in Club Class nibbling on a Twiglet, so you have to learn how to make your own entertainment. It's a bit like being a grown-up. You have these spare hours when you have nothing scheduled and you just have to think "what now?" I would go shopping, but I don't need to. I get all my clothes for free. It's daunting, like being an astronaut or fish. I think of it as moon time. I imagine myself being Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, looking down on the earth. It's all blue and small, like an olive in the sea of time. It's because I'm an Aries.
At times like these I try to meditate. Buddhism is so cool and the statues are to die for. They're so peaceful and placid. I had a dog like that when I was young but it went away when my father left. He went to dog heaven. (The dog!) I don't think goldfish have thoughts really, or they would be very bored just going round and round in the bowl with people looking at them. I used to have two goldfish, Donny and Marie. One day Donny broke his back, but he kept on swimming. I think about him sometimes when I am tired or if I get stuck in the departure lounge because of fog or bombs. You just have to keep swimming. I remember reading about Keiko the whale. Keiko was the star of the great movie Free Willy and its sequel Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home. Keiko was sent to a big cage in Iceland. Life can be so unfair. One day you are a superstar whale with your own pool in Newport, Oregon, the next you are being airlifted to Iceland and set loose in the Northern Atlantic. It seems that Warner Brothers can make whale movies by using special effects and they have no use for movie star whales anymore. I like to think Keiko will find his way back to Hollywood. Whales can communicate with their friends across the oceans. They don't need mobile phones. That's what I'd like when I die: come back as a whale, or at least a marine mammal or a dolphin. There are a lot of sharks in the fashion world. They have to keep swimming or they die but if you kick them on the nose they go away.
Donny lived for three months with his broken back, then we flushed him. Marie was never the same.
