Panther and snake are her fav animals.
The interview was in her room in paris at the Ritz, where she opened all the gifts that Lagerfeld offered to her (smoking jacket, boots, jewels..).
She told about her new lover with honey skin, her hard last break up.
- How as an Atlanta girl do you feel about Paris, Ritz, Chanel?
It's magic, I tried to explain it to my grandmother this morning on the phone; she hardly realize. She had 5 children with different fathers and then educated my sister and i with no money she made everything by herself even lace!So when i told her about my shoot with terry richardson and catherine deneuve...
- When was that?
In 2001, during 4 years i quit smoking, i gave her for love a carson mc cullers book. She read it calmly and cried. She gave me a cigarette...She thought i "smoked like a man"
_ The Avedon shoot was more provocative you are almost naked?
That was the worst period of my life, i was drunk all the time. That time the alcohol gave me an estomach ache so i opened my jean's fly then he got the idea to tore my t-shirt and i forgot to close my trousers...
She also talked about her lucky miltary shirt, her brown boot bought in Paris and said that she always wear same clothes...She loves Karen Elson whith whom she sang gainsbourg, they met in a Balanciaga party and talked a lot about music and small bands like Dead Boy (with Stiv Bators).

I was really wise, because i was the new one who tried to be with the other girls, then i met my first best friend. Sheprotected from the mean girls who laughed at me because i was poor, always in black and Converse. I quit school!
-Beyond all different jobs you had what was the worst?
None of them; I've always been proud of my jobs; baby-sittig;barmaid;i did sandwichs i also worked in a photocopy store where i met Vincent Gallo; we became friends.
A young director wants to work with us, i'll play a young girl dropped on to a sofa who takes pills and alcohol..It shoudn't be too hard!!!
