[ APPLAUSE ]
>>> SHE'S ONE OF THE MOST
RECOGNIZABLE MODELS IN THE
WORLD, THE FACE SOF SOME ICONIC
BRANDS.
AND NOW, SHE'S THE DIRECTOR OF A
JAPANESE SKIN CARE.
SHE RARELY GIVES INTERVIEWS.
AND DAYS AGO, I SAT DOWN WITH
HER AND WE TALKED MODELING TO
MOTHERHOOD.
WATCH THIS.
EVERYTHING I READ ABOUT YOU IS
SHE PRIZES HER DAPRIVACY SO MUC.
WHY IS THAT?
>> I LIKE TO HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE
OF WORK.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
ME, WITH MY FAMILY, AND EVEN
BEFORE THAT, REALLY.
I JUST WANTED TO KEEP THINGS TO
>> Reporter: A DIFFICULT MISSION
FOR ANY PUBLIC FIGURE.
BUT ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT FOR
KATE MOSS, WHO HAS SPENT 30
YEARS IN THE SPOTLIGHT, GOING
FROM RISING TEENAGE STAR TO
SUPERMODEL STARDOM IN THE BLING
OF AN EYE.
CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW YOU WERE
DISCOVERED?
I LOVE THIS STORY.
HERE IN NEW YORK?
>> YEAH, AT JFK.
>> WHAT HAPPENED?
>> MY DAD -- THEY SAID, THERE'S
THREE SEATS LEFT.
GET THERE AND FIND THE SEATS.
WE GOT ON THE PLANE AND MY AGENT
WAS ON THE PLANE.
AND SHE SAID, HAVE YOU EVER
THOUGHT ABOUT MODELING?
I WAS LIKE, NO.
I WENT TO SEE HER IN LONDON.
AND THEY SIGNED ME UP.
>> Reporter: BUT NOT EVERYONE
WAS CONVINCED.
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOUR MOM'S
REACTION WAS?
>> SHE DIDN'T THINK I WAS
PHOTOGENIC.
>> Reporter: IT WASN'T BELONG
BEFORE KATE PROVED HER MOTHER
LONG, BECOMING THE FACE OF
CALVIN KLEIN AND CHOOSING THAT
OBSESSION CAMPAIGN WHEN SHE WAS
18, WITH HER BOYFRIEND AND
PHOTOGRAPHER, MARIO SORRENTI.
NO WARDROBE, NO HAIR, NO MAKEUP.
IS THAT WHAT WAS SO SPECIAL
ABOUT IT?
YOU WERE ABLE TO PENETRATE THAT
LENS IN A WAY I DON'T FEEL IT'S
EVER BEEN REPRODUCED.
>> IT WAS YOUNG LOVE.
AND WE WERE SO INNOCENT AND
YOUNG.
SO EXCITED ABOUT EVERYTHING.
EVERYTHING WAS SO NEW TO US,
LIKE, GOING TO THE CARIBBEAN WAS
NEW TO US.
IT WAS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY
AND THE PICTURES WERE AMAZING.
>> WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT THE
PICTURES OF YOURSELF, WHAT DO
YOU THINK?
>> DEEP AFFECTION.
IT'S SO SWEET.
I'M LIKE, OH.
IT'S LOVELY.
>> Reporter: DESPITE THE
PIERCING PHOTOS, KATE STRUGGLED
BEHIND THE SCENES.
THERE WERE NO CLOTHES.
WAS THERE PRESSURE TO DO THAT
WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG?
>> THERE WAS PRESSURE TO.
I WORKED WITH A WOMAN
PHOTOGRAPHER AND SHE SAID, NO
TOP ON.
I DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL.
AND MARIO WAS MY BOYFRIEND.
I WAS KIND OF USED TO IT.
I WAS STILL ALWAYS, LIKE, CAN I
JUST PUT SOME CLOTHES ON?
BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS WHAT --
THAT WAS THE JOB.
I KIND OF JUST DID IT.
>> WHAT WOULD YOU TELL MODELS
NOW?
>> THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO IT.
I WOULDN'T LET MY DAUGHTER DO
IT.
I LOOK AT HER NOW.
SHE'S 15.
AND TO THINK I WAS GOING TOPLESS
AT HER AGE IS CRAZY.
>> HOW DO YOU LIKE BEING A MOM?
>> I LOVE IT.
IT'S THE BEST THING.
IT'S MY FAVORITE THING.
>> HOW DID IT CHANGE YOU AS A
WOMAN?
>> I JUST NEVER -- I WAS NEVER
LONELY AGAIN.
I WAS ALWAYS WITH -- HAD MY
BABY.
>> ARE YOU CLOSE?
>> YEAH, REALLY CLOSE.
>> THERE'S NOTHING QUITE LIKE
THAT LOVE IN YOUR LIFE.
>> NO.
IT'S GREAT.
AND NOW, WE'RE HANGING OUT AS
FRIENDS BECAUSE SHE'S GETTING
OLDER.
WE CAN GO SHOPPING TOGETHER.
IT'S REALLY FUN.
>> YOU DO WANT HER IN THE
BUSINESS OR YOU DON'T?
>> IT'S UP TO HER.
I'M LEAVING IT UP TO HER.
I WILL SUPPORT HER, OBVIOUSLY.
AND I'LL BE HER MANAGER.
>> HER MOMAGER.
>> YEAH.
HER MOMAGER.
I WILL SUPPORT HER IN ANYTHING
HE WANTS TO DO.
>> YOU THINK IT WOULD BE HARDER
TO COME UP NOW, GIVEN HOW
UBIQUITOUS SOCIAL MEDIA IS AND
THE MODELS ARE.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN HARDER.
IT WAS MORE FUN WHEN WE WERE
DOING IT, I THINK.
>> WHY?
>> IT WAS JUST, LIKE, FREER.
EVERYTHING IS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
EVERYONE IS WATCHING WHAT
THEY'RE
>>> SO, AT AGE 44, KATE MOSS IS
STILL MODELING.
BUT HE'S GOING BEHIND THE LENS
WITH HER OWN TALENT AGENCY.
AND SHE WAS JUST NAMED THE
CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF A JAPANESE
SKIN CARE COMPANY CALLED
I TALKED TO HER ABOUT HER LIFE
NOW AND SOME OF THE
CONTROVERSIES SHE'S FACED ALONG
THE WAY.
BODY IMAGE IS SOMETHING THAT'S
IN THE NEWS.
DO YOU FEEL THE INDUSTRY IS
CHANGING FOR THE BETTER?
>> DEFINITELY.
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE DIVERSITY
I THINK IT'S RIGHT.
THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT SIZES
AND COLORS AND HEIGHTS.
WHY WOULD YOU JUST BE ONE SIZE
MODEL AND BE REPRESENTATIVE FOR
ALL OF THESE PEOPLE.
FOR SURE, IT'S BETTER.
>> YOU THINK THE MODELING WORLD
IS TOO FOCUSED ON WEIGHT?
>> NO.
I DON'T THINK IT'S FOCUSING -- I
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S FOCUSED ON
WEIGHT.
FOR THE DESIGNERS, THEY JUST
WANT TINY GIRLS.
>> YOU ONCE GOT IN TROUBLE FOR
SAYING, NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD
AS SKINNY FEELS.
>> MY GIRLFRIENDS WOULD GO FOR
THE BISCUITS AND WE WOULD GO,
OH -- THAT LITTLE JINGLE.
>> DO YOU THINK PEOPLE PUT TOO
MUCH PRESSURE ON PEOPLE TO
ALWAYS SAY THE RIGHT THING IN
JUST THE RIGHT WAY?
>> YEAH.
>> HAVE YOU FELT THAT?
>> JUST AS MUCH AS ANYONE.
>> Reporter: KATE'S BEEN IN THE
PUBLIC EYE FOR THREE DECADES
NOW.
AND AFTER A TUMULTUOUS
RELATIONSHIP WITH JOHNNY DEPP TO
ALLEGED DRUG USE, SHE'S HAD HER
CONTROVERSIES.
SOMEBODY TOLD ME YOUR PHILOSOPHY
WAS NEVER COMPLAIN, NEVER
EXPLAIN.
>> NEVER EXPLAIN.
>> YEAH.
>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU?
>> JUST GET ON WITH IT.
YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT
PEOPLE THINK OF YOU OR, IF THEY
LIE OR IF IT'S NOT TRUE WHAT
THEY SAY.
JUST GET ON WITH IT.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IF YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, YOU CAN
GET THROUGH.
>> IT'S VERY BRITISH OF YOU.
>> IS IT?
>> I THINK SO.
>> STIFF UPPER LIP.
>> HOW DO YOU KEEP REINVENTING
YOURSELF?
IT SEEMS LIKE YOU TAKE ON GOOD
CHALLENGES.
>> YOU COULD REST ON YOUR
LAURELS BUT YOU DON'T.
>> I LIKE WORKING.
AND I LIKE THE CHALLENGE.
AND I LIKE -- I WANT TO EVOLVE.
>> NOT ONLY DID YOU LAUNCH YOUR
OWN TALENT AGENCY, BUT YOU ARE
THE DIRECTOR OF DECORTE.
>> DECORTE IS A SKIN CAROLINE.
A
I LIKE BEING ON THAT SIDE OF THE
CAMERA AND GETTING AN IMAGE
TOGETHER THAT REPRESENTS THE
BRAND.
>> YOU LOOK AMAZING.
HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?
>> SLEEP NOW.
I'M A GOOD GIRL.
I SLEEP NOW, AND NOT TOO MUCH
COFFEE.
I TAKE CARE OF MYSELF NOW.
>> EIGHT HOURS OF SLEEP?
HOW MUCH SLEEP ARE WE TALKING?
>> I TRY TO GET EIGHT HOURS.
>> DO YOU HAVE THE ONE BEAUTY
PRODUCT THAT PEOPLE NEED TO
KNOW?
LIKE A DRUGSTORE.
>> I WOULD SAY MASCARA.
DRUGSTORE MA SCASS KCAR
DRUGSTORE MA SCASS KA IS REALLY
GOOD.
>> WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?
>> I'M WORKING THE AGENCY MORE.
I'M STILL MODELING.
I ENJOY IT.
AND TRAVELING AND DOING THE
SAME.
AND WATCHING LILA, WHAT SHE'S
GOING TO DO.
>> IS THERE ONE TAKEAWAY.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT LILA AND SHE'S
GOING THROUGH A TOUGH TIME, WHAT
DO YOU WANT HER TO KNOW THAT YOU
WISH YOU HAD KNOWN?
>> TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY.
IT CAN BE TERRIBLE AND YOU THINK
IT'S
