NEW YORK - British supermodel Naomi Campbell says yoga and anger
management classes are helping her to keep a lid on her famously hot
temper, in a newspaper interview.
"It's part of recovery," Campbell told Tuesday's edition of the New York
Daily News of her three months practicing yoga. "I'm trying to stay at a
peaceful place inside."
Campbell, who is to start mopping New York city floors next week as part
of a community service order for throwing a cell phone at her housekeeper
last year, also said in the interview she was ready for the week of
chores.
"I'm from a Caribbean family," Campbell said. "My grandmother raised all
of us. I had to wash my underwear and my socks after school. I had to
clean the table, I had to (vacuum) Hoover."
She said she would auction off the jeans and boots she wears during the
court-ordered mopping duties for charity. "It'll go straight to the
Nelson Mandela Children's Fund," she said.
Campbell said the incident had caused her to do some serious
soul-searching and that her anger management class had been a "great
experience."
"I loved the class," she said. "The teacher talked about prevention...
Like in my case, if someone does something to me, I have to stop and ask
myself, 'Is it worth the bother?' I learned I just have to step away from
the situation."
A reflective Campbell said she could only blame herself for the cell
phone incident. "I have no blame for anyone," Campbell said. "I never
will blame other people. Blame deflects you from looking inside yourself.
"I take full responsibility for what I've done," the 36-year-old said.
Campbell also revealed she wanted to have children, even though she's
currently single. Aspiring suitors don't even need to be wealthy, she
added.
"I don't need a rich guy -- I have money," she said. "I like creative
guys who know what they like doing and focus on their passion."
