Cara Delevingne felt paranoid
Cara Delevingne used to feel paranoid about people's perceptions during her sobriety journey.
“I think when I was younger, when I was in my 20s, I was so unaware of what people thought because I was young and I was free and carefree in a way. And I think getting sober, I got very paranoid about people thinking that I was sober or trying to persuade people that I’m serious.”
Cara's view changed
Cara now says people who know know, and she wants to live life without worrying about how she's perceived.
“I’m like, you know what? The people that know know, and I just want to live life again like I am enjoying it instead of thinking about how I look or how it’s perceived.”
Sobriety lessons
Cara says she learned to unlearn younger habits but now focuses on growing with age.
“There was a lot of stuff that in my younger self I’ve had to unlearn. But that specifically, I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m going to take that and run forward with it.’ That’s the thing about growing up.”
Debut album progress
Cara has worked on her debut album Not Normal for three years, calling it a life-long project.
“I’ve been working on it for three years. It’s something I’ve put so much time into and I actually feel like I’ve been working on it for my whole life because it’s all been leading up to this.”
