Elle Macpherson Quotes


A celebrity name is never enough for an intelligent mass market... truly successful businesses are born of passion and heartfelt interest.

Acting and modeling have nothing to do with each other.

Anyway, I believe you don't fix the inside by putting something on the outside.

As long as people want to see me in movies, and as long as I find it interesting, I'll keep working.

Being a public person doesn't necessarily mean you're a piece of meat for everybody.

But I do know focusing on the exterior doesn't make me happy. If I want peace and serenity, it won't be reached by getting thinner or fatter.

Focusing on the way I look makes me uncomfortable. I try to focus on the way I feel - I know what makes me feel better about myself. Reading my child a story makes me feel great, doing my hair nicely doesn't.

For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.

For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn't enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input?

Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.

I choose movies, I never choose roles. I look at the script. I look at the director. I look at the other actors - and then the role.

I don't believe we own our children, they're their own souls who make their own choices, we just guide and support them.

I don't like everybody knowing what I'm doing, unless it's related to a movie. I don't like speaking to the press. I never did.

I eat like a horse!

I feel beautiful when I'm at peace with myself. When I'm serene, when I'm a good person, when I've been considerate of others.

I just happen to like the work. I like preparing for a role. I like reading. I like analyzing. I like literature. I like emotions. I like working with other actors.

I like to make movies I like to watch.

I used to wear heels because I wanted to show people I wasn't ashamed of being tall. But I don't wear them any more because you don't have to wear heels to be beautiful. I can't even remember the last time I wore heels.

I wanted so badly to study ballet, but it was really all about wearing the tutu.

I went to America on holiday when I was 17 and, before I knew it, I'd been signed up by an agency and had these obligations I didn't understand, but which I couldn't say no to. This industry chose me. But I did choose to make it fulfilling.
