I make a lot of money, but I don't want to talk about that. I work very hard and I'm worth every diamond.
People are giving me things all the time, so I got a few diamonds in a jar so I can throw the jar at someone when I get mad
An Inconvenience Truth
"I never hated a man enough to give his diamonds back."
I can't talk now, My hair is too big!
Your Honor, how many times do I have to tell you I am NOT Whitney Houston, and that robe...I could show you how to work it so you look like a super model!

Naomi Campbell, "If you ask me one more time if I knew they were 'blood diamonds', I'll have to slap you silly!"
"Just think how bad my luck would be without this evil eye protecting me."
"I thought Blood Diamond given to me was the diamond used in the DiCaprio's movie.."
What?! There's no photo shoot?!
I repudiate those allegations.
After being told that authorities would throw the book at her, Naomi Campbell said, "And I'll throw the phone at you. Just ask my housekeeper."
Of course he's guilty! Who do you think taught me to beat up all those people?
I refudiate the allegations you've made!
"Yes I'm nervous...I want to hurry up and finish my testimony so I can go home, take this wig off and put my diamond ring back on!"
Like I really care about a "blood diamond" You should see my bloody cell phones.
Here I am! What are your other two wishes?
Naomi Campbell denies rumors that she's dating Micheal Vick...... saying he's too violent
Diamond? That was a dirty old rock he gave me!
Can I phone a friend?
"Yes your Honor, The diamond became even more bloody when I hit him over the head with it!"

"Why do you keep refering to my diamonds as blood diamonds, I never hit anyone with them."
Hey,dont switch the channel please!The phone tantrum will start in a minute.

HA!! you think im gonna rat on a guy who just gives aways diamond...you crazy fool!!
No, you have me confused with someone else. I didn't throw the shoe at Bush , I throw cellphones at people.
I am a woman accepted a gift (that donated to charity), I didn’t smuggle or receive financial gain from the blood of people.
On advice of counsel...diamonds aren't a girl's best friend.
"One more question about diamonds and I swear I'll throw my phone at you!"
I didn't take the diamond, but only because his fashion sense was atrocious!!!
I wasn't ABOUT to take that diamond! It was WAY too huge!! I knew right away he was 'compensating' for something that was too small, and honey, THAT ain't gonna work!!!!
Fox News host Greta Van Susteren with yet another on-air mixup when her show used Naomi Campbell’s picture to cover Michelle Obama’s leggings-in-August-fashion-fopaux today in Spain.
Gave the bloody diamonds back to the missionaries but i kept the black ones!!
Dirty little nasty little petty puny pebbles – you'll always be my best friend.
I don't need a "blood diamond". My looks alone can kill.

Well it's just the same as Americans taking oil from other countries where the are civil unrest and whatnot.
