Have you discovered someone who is now a big star?
I've always been responsible for Jodie Kidd and Naomi Campbell. I didn't physically find Naomi on the street, my boss did; she brought her in, and I thought, "Oh, she's alright." I wasn't overly-excited by her, I've got to tell you. I had to be really convinced by other people as well, because there's a moment when you see an image and you think: "God, it's happened, and we do have something special." There was a sixth sense in me thinking: "Okay, she's all right." I knew instinctively that I had to keep her a little bit exclusive, but it wasn't until I saw her first picture that I was a hundred percent convinced by it. With Jodie, we took a huge risk because she used to look shocking. She looked like this complete scruff with the most awful teeth you've ever seen, and I wasn't sure, but something in me thought: "There is something here." Again, by about her third set of tests, you knew she was a star, and that's all she could have been. She couldn't have been a working girl. You have to then approach the career in a different way. There would have been no way that I could have sent her out to the general castings. We had to pick and choose who we felt were right to work with her.
