London—British supermodel Kate Moss quittedmodeling for a time last year after becoming disillusioned (be set free frommistaken beliefs) with the industry's hedonistic(享乐主义的) and drug-fuelled lifestyle.

    “I quitbecause I thought: 'I hate ... it'. I didn't want to have to say I am a modelever again.” Moss said in an interview with Britain's Time Out magazinepublished Tuesday. The Londoner told the magazine the only way she coulddeal with life in the fashion industry was to “get out of it” in an apparent (显而易见的) reference to her much-publicizedbattle with alcohol and drugs.

    “In fashion,excess (无节制的) is not for creative purposes, whateverpeople may say. It is about escapism. You just have to get out of it to dealwith it.” Moss said.

    It was the onlyway that you could go out night and night and do all these boring dinners. Youare never allowed to be tired. It is a sin to be tired.

    But Moss,whose skinny (瘦骨嶙峋的) frame and delicate features have adorned (装饰) countless magazine covers overthe last 10 years, was eventually persuaded to return to the job that made hera superstar and one of the wealthiest women with an estimated fortune of 15million pounds ($ 21. 84 million).

    Moss saidthat this time round, she was determined to do things differently and have morecontrol over the type of the work she did.

    “I have mademy mistakes and I have learned my lesson.”
