Love Quote by Catherine Bell

"I love to go bungee jumping, jump out of planes, ride motorbikes, do kickboxing. I love all that stuff"

About this Quote

Thrill-seeking becomes a kind of rebuttal when it comes out of the mouth of someone primarily branded for being looked at. Catherine Bell’s list of adrenaline hobbies reads like a resume line designed to yank her out of the passive, polished box that “model” can imply. Bungee jumping, skydiving, motorbikes, kickboxing: the rhythm is cumulative, almost breathless, the verbs doing the work of identity-making. It’s not “I tried” or “I’ve done,” but “I love,” repeated to signal appetite rather than novelty. She’s selling desire, not achievement.

The subtext is cultural and strategic. Models are routinely flattened into surfaces; this quote insists on impact, velocity, risk. The activities also skew coded-masculine in mainstream imagination, which matters: it’s an assertion of agency in a space that often rewards compliance and controlled fragility. Even “all that stuff” at the end is telling - a casual shrug that frames the extreme as ordinary, suggesting she’s comfortable in danger and bored by the dainty.

Contextually, this fits a late-90s/2000s celebrity-media moment where personality had to be legible in one punchy anecdote. “I’m adventurous” is too abstract; “I jump out of planes” is a headline. It’s also a low-key insurance policy against being dismissed as ornamental. The intent isn’t confession so much as rebranding: don’t just watch me; imagine I can outrun you, outlast you, and choose the fall.
