The stress she speaks of was due to cancelled MTV talk show in the US, It's On with Alexa Chung (oooh, I still hope we get it here; I love the Brit cool that is Alexa).
"Anyone could see that I wasn't doing great and I wasn't coping," she adds. "It angers me because I don't want to be a pin-up for young girls just for being thin. I don't want to be admired for being thin as opposed to being dressed well, and I don't want the two to get confused."
Other excerpts include:
On America: “In New York, everything is insanely work orientated. It’s been a lesson-you can’t come here and not work really, really hard. I haven’t tried to ‘break America’ but I have learnt that I’m ambitious. It’s just not focused. I want to be good at lots of things.”
On drugs: “I’m too much of a show-off not to have done all this. I’d have been a nightmare otherwise. Imagine if I hadn’t had a way to express myself! It’s why I don’t do drugs. I’ve never ever tried coke. My friends are like, ‘Alexa, no!’ I would be a real problem.”
