"I've always gotten along best with artists"
About this Quote
The line also works as a class-coded preference masquerading as personality. “Artists” signals a certain bohemian exemption from the normal rules: unconventional schedules, complicated romances, volatile egos that get reframed as genius. If you’ve lived inside the fashion machine, that world can feel more honest than the corporate one because it admits its hunger upfront. Models are trained to be adaptable, to read rooms, to collaborate without taking up too much space. Artists, at least in the myth, reward that: they want muses, co-conspirators, audiences.
Context matters: Hall’s public life has orbited famous creative men, especially Mick Jagger, and later the Murdoch media empire. The quote quietly emphasizes the part of her story that feels elective rather than inherited or transactional. It’s a preference that also doubles as a defense: if artists are who you “get along” with, then the chaos, the spectacle, even the tabloid drama becomes less scandal and more aesthetic lifestyle choice.
