NEW YORK  - British supermodel Naomi Campbell says yoga and anger management classes are helping her to keep a lid on her famously hot temper, in a newspaper interview.

"It's part of recovery," Campbell told Tuesday's edition of the New York Daily News of her three months practicing yoga. "I'm trying to stay at a peaceful place inside."

Campbell, who is to start mopping New York city floors next week as part of a community service order for throwing a cell phone at her housekeeper last year, also said in the interview she was ready for the week of chores.

"I'm from a Caribbean family," Campbell said. "My grandmother raised all of us. I had to wash my underwear and my socks after school. I had to clean the table, I had to (vacuum) Hoover."

She said she would auction off the jeans and boots she wears during the court-ordered mopping duties for charity. "It'll go straight to the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund," she said.

Campbell said the incident had caused her to do some serious soul-searching and that her anger management class had been a "great experience."

"I loved the class," she said. "The teacher talked about prevention... Like in my case, if someone does something to me, I have to stop and ask myself, 'Is it worth the bother?' I learned I just have to step away from the situation."

A reflective Campbell said she could only blame herself for the cell phone incident. "I have no blame for anyone," Campbell said. "I never will blame other people. Blame deflects you from looking inside yourself.

"I take full responsibility for what I've done," the 36-year-old said.

Campbell also revealed she wanted to have children, even though she's currently single. Aspiring suitors don't even need to be wealthy, she added.

"I don't need a rich guy -- I have money," she said. "I like creative guys who know what they like doing and focus on their passion."
