Helena Christensen at Marc Jacobs Show for Fashion Week at the Lexington Armory. New York City, USA - 06.02.06

The 37-year-old, who is enjoying a successful career as a photographer, admits she had no problem with smoking cannabis, but had no interest in snorting the cocaine which is so abundant in the fashion world.

She says, "I wouldn't say no if somebody passed me a joint. It was never a problem for me.

"I was brought up with a lot of discipline so I wasn't attracted to (hard drugs). But there were a lot of young, beautiful girls on the party scene, with a lot of drugs around.

"I'm not a saint, but drugs were never my thing."
