Devon Aoki’s 5 most popular quotes
- It’s difficult to see yourself up on screen without being a critic.
- I have lots of brothers and sisters, two of whom are younger than myself, so I rely on my phone, text messaging or e-mailing to stay in the loop and communicate when I’m away for big chunks of time.
- I think people like to think I’m in some way financially dependent on my family – on my dad – but the fact of the matter is I’ve been emancipated from my father since I was 14 years old. That’s something people don’t know or understand.
- I lived in London for eight years and I like to say that I am two parts American and one part British because I lived there for a third of my life.
- I think it’s important that there is a change, especially in fashion. I’m pleased to be part of a ‘new breed’ of models who perhaps don’t exactly fit the status quo.
