Kate Moss: 'I Don't Need Diamonds'
British model Kate Moss loves her professional life but she thinks her family and friends are more important than her career. The 34-year-old admitted she's a workaholic because she "likes to live day by day". But she doesn't consider herself to be "a materialistic person at all".

"I'm workaholic. A person who likes to live day by day," Now magazine quoted the supermodel as saying. "But I'm a friend to my friends - I like having dinner with them and a chat. And I don't consider myself to be a materialistic person at all. I don't need diamonds."

And Kate really loves her daughter Lila as she always likes to put her to bed every evening. "It's the best part of the day," the on-off girlfriend of Jamie Hince said. "I kiss her goodnight and she's so adorable. She's my most valued treasure. I try to spend as much time as I can with her."

The model confessed she often feels hard to leave her 6-year-old daughter, saying "She's always after me - we both seek each other out. The worst bit is when I have to leave and she asks me: 'Why do you have to go?'" She continued, "It's very hard on her when I travel, which is why I'm never away more than two days."

But Kate doesn't want Lila to follow in her footsteps becoming a model. "My dream is for my daughter to be happy," she said. The supermodel wants her to live as a normal girl, adding "I want her to grow up like a normal girl, far from fame."
