It’s so boring to put on make-up and change clothes five times in a row for one photo shoot.
In 1979, I moved to England and photographed Joy Division and Bowie and Beefheart. At that time I got images that I felt had that special, well – power is a big word to say – more like intimacy and ambition that outlasted the photo shoot. I felt that they would have a longer life.
The photo shoot I always feel a bit embarrassed about because I don’t really know what to do with myself, but they usually don’t use a bad photo, so you can’t worry too much. So my main concern is that I just look a bit more like myself.
I get people being frightened of me. One time I did this photo shoot where I had hairy armpits – I was really digging it, but they were like, ‘We’ll airbrush that out.’
I love unsalted almonds, especially if I’m about to do a photo shoot or compete. There’s no mess, and they’re so easy to pack in a little Ziploc bag to take with you. It’s my number one go-to snack!
I ran into Ellen at a photo shoot. She took my breath away. That had never happened to me in my life.
As soon as I gave birth, I had, like, 20 kilos, which I think is about 50 lbs., and I realized, ‘Oh my gosh – in one month, I have my photo shoot.’ So I had to lose a lot, and you know, it doesn’t happen in one month. So it took me almost a year because I think, realistically, it takes about a year.
I said if I have a No. 1, I’ll do a naked photo shoot! I’m not sure a lot of people would like to see that, but it was more to the fans, really. Every gig I do, they try to get me to take my clothes off, so it’s a promise to them – if I get a No. 1, I’ll happily do a naked shoot.
However, the thought hit me that this was a pretty pathetic way to kick the bucket – being accidentally poisoned during a photo shoot, of all things – and I started weeping at the idiocy of it all.
It’s the most gratifying thing to have young girls telling me, ‘I love that you do a photo shoot in pants and a button up shirt, and you still look cool.’
I’ve used a stylist twice, and that was when I didn’t have time to go shopping or pick up an outfit for a photo shoot. I think you should dress yourself, have fun with it – it’s only clothes.
The fashion industry certainly has its obscene sides. The cost of a coat can be obscene. So can the cost of a photo shoot if you’re working with a really good photographer.
The only person I have regrets about is Miles Davis. He and I had become good friends after we did a photo shoot, and coincidentally, we kept running into each other at parties and stuff. I regret not having written a hit for Miles Davis.
There are three things in life I really don’t like: Rice pudding. Social climbers – you know, hang-ons! And the photo shoot!
Whenever you have to do a photo shoot with a woman, there is this weird competition. They need to prove something. They need to play games – maybe unconsciously – but women are so sensitive, and people call me more masculine sometimes.
In a photo shoot, you have to be very comfortable in your own skin. It’s all about confidence-boosting and putting on armor.
I think there can no longer be such a thing as hitting a wall on a photo shoot. If I ever hear a photographer say to me, ‘OK, what else?’ I should retire, because that should never happen now having experienced just how much the body is capable of doing.
When I’m doing a photo shoot, I’m not playing a part. I’m just trying to be myself.
Every photo shoot, I’m always asking the makeup artist what they’re using on me, and I’ll go out and get it.
Instagram is a personal subscription. It’s like your own personal magazine. It’s like doing a photo shoot for no money, which is cool.
I didn’t like my hair and makeup one time on a photo shoot, and my publicist told me, ‘You should just be happy with it – they haven’t had a black girl on the cover since forever.’ She’s no longer my publicist.
When I’m in a bikini or at a photo shoot, I’m real confident. But, if I’m in a group of people I don’t know, I’m really quiet.
If you want to see me cry, just come to a photo shoot.
I would absolutely, definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I’d like it to be a special day, not a photo shoot. And once you’ve done that, your marriage becomes everybody else’s business.
My blog is actually all self-photography unless it’s a photo shoot.
There’s nothing I dislike more than being in a photo shoot where they say, ‘Be yourself.’ That’s not why I became an actress. That’s what I find so funny: that you become an actor, and all of a sudden, everyone wants to know about you. But I didn’t become an actor so I could show you me.
Because I used to play a lot of sport, I’ve always been in decent enough shape. When I used to get asked to do a bit of body work before a photo shoot I’d lie and say, ‘Yeah, I’m going to the gym.’ I literally never did anything.
I’d rather enjoy meals, order bottles of red wine and eat creme brulee at the end of dinner. Then, when they call you for a photo shoot, you just go, ‘Okay, time to hit the treadmill.’
Hollywood is crazy because if you’re working, you’re constantly working. There’s all sorts of scheduling and stuff, and maybe you have a day off, but you don’t have the whole day. You’ve got a photo shoot or whatever.
For me, being able to say that my first-ever photo shoot was with one of the most well-known and iconic fashion photographers in the world is unbelievable.

I see myself on the cover of a magazine and I don’t think that it looks like me at all. My first-ever photo shoot was for the cover of a lads’ magazine.
During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I’ve been stubborn ever since.
I was at a photo shoot, and I was wearing a cross necklace that my mom bought me, and somebody made a joke like, ‘Why are you wearing a cross? Like you would be religious.’ And then they took it away. I was really affected by that. The whole thing made me realize that I do want a cross with me at all times.
The very first big photo shoot I ever did was with Bruce Weber. I couldn’t believe this guy was taking my picture, so when he told me to get in the bathtub, I just did. It’s only now, looking back, that I realise, you don’t have to do everything people tell you.
