-
Elle: I was the first person to pioneer the idea of licensing. It was a very entrepreneurial idea and from day one I was the name, face and creative design force.
-
Elle: I've never spoken about my private life to confirm or deny, I just don't. I respect the people in my life, men and women, and they do not need to have their names mentioned as intimate, or not.
-
Elle: The thing about me being celibate? Strike that. Categorically not true.
-
Elle: (on being celibate for two years) It's crazy but, apart from a brief romantic intermission last summer, I have been single and celibate for two years. How boring is that? I just don't get men hitting on me, but I'm a hopeless flirt. I'll go up to a guy and say, 'I think you are so beautiful'. But it doesn't work.
-
Elle: (on modelling) I'm too old for that!
-
Elle: With the anthology we've taken that concept one step further and we've asked certain people to give their opinion of what's going on. I like that intellectual side.
-
Elle: When I stepped out of the campaigns, we decided we'd focus on the word intimate and capture a model in a moment.
-
Elle: (in 1999) I am at a really good place in my life right now. A really, really good place.
-
Elle: I thank my mother. It's the genes. I don't think too much about it.
-
Elle: If your wearing lingerie that makes you feel glamorous, you're halfway there to turning heads.
-
Elle: I'm very fortunate because we're committed to co-parenting our children together.
-
Elle: I see myself as the consumer. I'm a working mother and I don't get a lot of time to myself. I create products that I need in my life, and which make me feel good.
-
Elle: For 15 years, I've been playing the same character - which is myself - and I'm bored with 'myself'.
-
Elle: It's like the underwear in the sense that they are premium products at competitive prices. I spent a long time researching the products, and the philosophy is the same as the lingerie.
-
Elle: Underwear is such an emotional thing.
-
Elle: A celebrity name is never enough for an intelligent mass market. Truly successful businesses are born of passion and heartfelt interest.
-
Elle: Nudity has never been an issue for me - I'm Australian. It's more of a thing in America. I mean people can buy guns, yet it's against the law to be topless on the beach.
-
Elle: I wanted so badly to study ballet, but it was really all about wearing the tutu.
-
Elle: G-strings are uncomfortable. Girls want real knickers now.
