Kate Worked Her Arse Off Back in the Day

Kate Moss is one of the most recognizable faces of fashion and makes taking photos look effortless, but being so successful isn't something that was just handed to her. On getting to where she is today, Kate said, "I had to work hard to get out of Croydon. It wasn't easy. I didn't have it on a plate. When I could have been with my friends, just bunking off, I had to get on the Tube all over London, doing my eight castings a day for four years. But I knew I had to work my arse off to do something with my life."

We're glad Kate now has time to relax with her many friends, though we wish she'd kick that awful smoking habit. At least it's better than that nasty coke one. Besides, it's a good thing Kate is resting up now... the launch of her Topshop line is about to make her a very busy girl. More pics of Kate enjoying some down time in LA so read more

    I wish she would work her arse off and spend time with her daughter actually being a mother, and get rid of peter pan.

    As she said it right 'back in the days' now I think its time for new faces .. I do not fancy her one bit any more .. Good on her she worked hard for it and no one can take that of her but still she is not the only model who did what she did and they are still kinda normal.. comparison to her and her Scandals...

    Worked her butt off? What butt? Give me a break when she has busted her b*lls working a real 9 to 5 job then she can say she worked her butt off.

    isn't it crazy what they can do with makeup and computers these days?
    you'd think she'd be worrying about her complexion or her health or something and quit smoking and get some better sleep. i hate to be rude, but look at her skin! she needs to work on taking better care of her body. seriously.

    sigh, I loveKate but as much as I hate to admit it I agree with what you guys are saying...I still think she's gorgeous though. She gotta lose that freakin deadbeat boyfriend!

    Worked her "arse" off? Does that include sniffing cocaine? Just curious...

    I'm in the minority, I know, but I still like Kate. The girl's got style. Sometimes people just make foolish choices when they're deeply in love.

    Is it strange that I have never found her pretty or interesting. and that I did a happy dance when her relationship with Depp tanked?

    Make sure you capitalize the letters, and no spaces between words or these things :

    Not strange at all Ima! I feel the same way! I get a little sick every time I see the Rimmel commercials.

    You don't have to capitalize the letters for the smileys, FYI. They're not case-sensitive.

    "It didn't have it on a plate" HAHAHA what like a coke plate?!
    She is so ugly I can't stand her. Never have. She isn't pretty and just looks like a dried out, used up coke/meth wh*re.
    As for her boyfriend; who is that guy!? Pete something... what does he even do besides drugs?

    Oh puhleeeeease not exactly what i would call working her a$$ off unless lifting your arm to your nose to snort coke is considered hard work. She's so clueless and stupid.

    Don't get my wrong, I like Kate Moss. However, sometimes she looks great, sometimes she looks like a street-walking junkie. I think she is so liberal and oblivous to what anyone thinks- I tend to wonder how her daughter, Lilly will turn out ... Smok'n crack and drink'n at 11 like Drew Barrymore did ??

    Those pictures are so not flattering of her either- She looks pale, tired and blah ... What's special about her, the fact that she is a size 2 ??

    have you seen the pics of her without the makeup? her skin is horrible. If I were her, and my appearance was my line of work and income, I would have quit smoking a long time ago.

    Are there people that find her attractive? I don't know anyone who thinks so myself included, but they must be out there because she makes her living as a model. What is it that's appealing about her to these people?

    This is a bad pic of her or she needs to switch make up brands.

    I'm sure she did have to work hard in the beginning to get her face out there.If anyone remembers she's short for a model and her big break came when Calvin Klein needed someone petite to work with Mark Walberg.So, she should be thinking his arse!

    I thought she bunked off a lot when she was at school, which is why modelling was a godsend. Either way she wasn't a rocket scientist in the making. Just be grateful, most people work their asses off for substially less pay.

    You'd think she spent her adolescence digging wells so her village could get fresh water the way she talks. Earth to Kate, you're best when your mouth, nose, and legs are shut. It's Croydon, not Compton.

    How can people say she is not attractive? She has no make up on here. Compare her to 'normal' person she is sitting with in these pictures. It's beauty and the beast.

    If you want the rainbow you got to take the rain too. You know which "philosopher" said that? Dolly Parton. And people say she's just a big pair of t*ts.

    Pinkrabbit, Pete Doherty is a musician who has been in a few very popular British bands, such as the Libertines and Babyshambles. Yes, he's a mess, but he's a pretty good songwriter.

    With all the make-up and airbrushing, most models and actresses don't look half as pretty in real life. Every person that works a "regular" job--blue or white collar--will scoff at a model talking about how she worked her ass off. I think she's just trying to say it was a lot harder for her to break into modeling than many other supermodels. She's only 5'7"...My thoughts in her personal life aside, and how she looks in candids, I really enjoy her print ads.

    I've had to work my "arse off" too, to get where I'm at. I worked full-time, went to school full-time, ate ramonon noodles. And guess what, I don't do coke or get involved with crack-heads. Cause, guess what, I'm pretty sure if I was caught doing drugs, I'd be fired from my job and probably do jail time. I'm sure, that nobody would be knocking at my door offering me lucerative deals to advertise overpriced crap for them. Count yourself lucky girl. I wish someone would pay me millions to stand there and get my picture taken looking snarky. Can't stand her and she's not pretty at all.
