The saying Moss used is featured on pro-anorexia websites Model Kate Moss has been criticised by campaigners after saying she lives by a slogan which encourages people with anorexia not to eat. In an interview with fashion news website WWD, Moss said one of her mottoes was: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." Eating disorder charity Beat described the comments as "dangerous" and "very unhelpful" for sufferers. A spokeswoman for Moss said the comment had been "completely misrepresented". In the interview, Moss adds: "That's one of them. You try and remember, but it never works." The saying is widely used by anorexia and bulimia sufferers on websites. 'Irresponsible' A spokeswoman for Beat said it was "a very unfortunate phrase" particularly as it was widely used on pro-anorexia websites. "She probably doesn't realise how dangerous such comments can be. It's difficult enough for young people who are struggling to beat eating disorders, without comments like this which are very unhelpful," she said. Katie Green, a former Ultimo underwear model who has launched a Say No To Size Zero campaign with Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik, said the comments were "irresponsible". She said: "I think Kate Moss should really have thought before she spoke like most of us do before giving interviews. Kate is a mother herself and how would parents with children suffering from eating disorders feel reading something like this? "We are trying to get the government to put something in place to stamp out size zero models and comments like this aren't doing anything to help that." A spokeswoman for Moss's model agency Storm said: "This was part of a longer answer Kate gave during a wider ranging interview which has unfortunately been taken out of context and completely misrepresented. "For the record, Kate does not support this as a lifestyle choice."

Now, at 35, her influence is more far reaching than ever, as her interests have grown to include designing a fashion line with Topshop and collaborating on a hair care brand with hairstylist James Brown, plus developing an expanding collection of fragrances with Coty. (Note to marketers: She’s also keen to work on a makeup line.) Her latest scent, dubbed Vintage, plays on her famed fashion sense and love of clothing from bygone eras. WWD Beauty Biz recently spoke with the supermodel about her very fashionable life, her myriad inspirations and why she loves being in a jam. 
 
 WWD: How do you define beauty? 
 
 Kate Moss: It sounds really corny, but I think that if you’re beautiful inside, it shows on the outside for sure. You can be a pretty face, but if you’re not a nice person, it just doesn’t work. I’m not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I’m all right. If you’re a nice person, it definitely helps. 
 
 WWD: What inspires you? 
 
 KM: Films and books, lots of different things. And music. 
 
 WWD: How do you channel your creativity? 
 
 KM: I write sometimes, or I’ll draw. It all depends what’s around. If I’m with my daughter, I’ll paint. I make jam. It’s kind of creative when you make jam. In the country, I get creative withwhat I have in my house. I just did my dressing room [with my former personal assistant who now designs interiors] and that was quite a good creative process. It’s heaven. We did it together. I wanted it to be a space, not just a closet. I wanted it to be a room you could feel comfortable in and hang out in without just being a wardrobe. 
 
 WWD: Do you have a mentor? 
 
 KM: My close friends, probably. There are lots of women I look up to, but mentors are someone you talk to and not just admire. A lot of my friends that I trust are my mentors. They would say, “Oh no, Kate, that’s not a good look.” 
 
 
 
 WWD: Do you have a motto? 
 
 KM: There are loads. There’s “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” That’s one of them. You try and remember, but it never works. 
 
 WWD: What do you do to relax? 
 
 KM: I’ve got a steam room now, I go in there. It’s heaven. I steam and then go to the relaxation room and cool off. In the country, I go for walks and hang out and make jam.

Advocates slammed the comment as “dangerous” and “unhelpful," the BBC reports. A Moss representative says the remark to fashion website WWD was "taken out of context and completely misrepresented. For the record, Kate does not support this as a lifestyle choice." Here's the exchange in the printed interview: Question: "Do you have a motto?" Answer: "There are loads. There’s 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.' That’s one of them. You try and remember, but it never works."
