"I would have wanted to be a rock star, a lead singer, if I wasn't a model. I'd go touring in a bus with my band. In my next life, that's the plan"
About this Quote
The specifics do the work. “Lead singer” isn’t just “musician”; it’s front-and-center control, voice, command of a crowd. “Touring in a bus” is pointedly unglamorous compared with private jets and couture, a deliberate choice of grit over gloss. She’s reaching for a version of fame that feels earned in motion, not staged under lights. Even the bus is a prop, a shorthand for camaraderie and chaos - the myth that art happens in cramped spaces with your people.
“In my next life” is the tell. It’s wistful, but also protective: a way to claim desire without risking failure. Moss gets to flirt with reinvention while keeping her current throne intact. The subtext is that modeling, for all its access, can feel like being looked at rather than heard. Rock stardom becomes the imagined upgrade: not just seen, but listened to.
