Quotes from Jerry Hall

Acting and modelling are good, but motherhood is what it's all about.

I have a lot of energy, and if I don't keep myself busy, I go crazy. I alphabetise the spice rack, separate the Lego from the Playmobile, colour-code the knicker drawers - it's scary! My house loves it when I'm working so the linen cupboard can get a rest. I just don't sit around.

I don't mind being older. I'm proud of my age. I've achieved a lot. It's the same thing with Mick and the Stones. They should be revered and respected. Isn't it strange that now we're living longer we have so much less respect for old age? Perhaps it's a less valuable commodity?

I studied drama in high school, and when I was 18, I studied at the Actors Studio in New York. Then I moved to London when I got engaged to Bryan Ferry, and I studied at the National Theatre there.

We used to go to Studio 54 - an amazing place.

You don't want to wear any styles that are too young... I try to still dress glamorously, but not like my daughters.

Since I got a divorce, I have been dating younger guys. But it's just because they're the ones that ask me out.

I'm single. I'm independent. And I'm dating. I think if you're honest that you're dating, there's nothing wrong with that.

Beauty makes life easier. People want to do things for you. They want to marry you and pay for everything.

Getting a divorce is always horrible because you feel you've failed. Everyone hates to give up on a marriage. You think your family's broken up.
