Nicole Richie is on the cover of Nylon Magazine’s August 2007 issue. In the interview, she denies once again being an anorexic:

“It’s really sad how obsessed America is with weight. It’s sick. I’ve never gone a day without putting food in my mouth. I’ve never sewn my mouth shut. I’ve never gone on a liquid diet. So I want to know why I’m the face for a problem.”

Nicole says that she doesn’t want to be looked at as a role model by young girls:

“I don’t walk around pretending that I’m perfect, so I don’t think anyone should hold me to that. The dangerous thing is that there are 16, 17, 18-year-olds that people consider to be role models. I’m so happy I wasn’t famous back then. You’d think I was the f**king devil.”

She also spoke about her heroin addiction, insisting that she never reached the “crazy crack head” level that some of her peers did (sleeping under a bridge with no shoes on? haha…).

“When I pictured heroin, I pictured some crazy crackhead with no shoes under a bridge. You never think that is going to be you.”
“And it never was me. I was never under a bridge, and I always had shoes.” [Source]
