Being mean about other people isn't on my radar.

We are obsessed with image. I don't think we should take it that seriously.

I know that I've overfed myself trying to prop myself up because I'm exhausted.

I've always made my own clothes since I was a little girl. I was a terrible sewer, but I was always cutting and customising.

Perfectionism kills art. I find that if I criticise myself, it spoils the fun. You can get paralysed by analysis - it takes all the playfulness away.

Being mean about other people isn't on my radar.

Everyone has a mad half-hour once a month.

I have got one of those faces that change every day: you can dress me up, make me look vampy and then make me look 12 years old. But don't all women do this thing? We all take on these roles.

I have never sung a whole song on my own before and I am not the best dancer in the world, but I would rather try and fall than not not try at all.

I want to communicate through my music. If you want to know Geri Halliwell listen to my album: it tells you more about me than a documentary ever could.

I won't mention the word tired. This is the 20th century and I can go around a little faster.

I'd never choose to turn the clock back.

I'm never getting too lonely because it's the kind of disease where you might sit in front of the TV with three bags of biscuits, rather than communicate with the world.

It's really important to remember that most people in the public eye are human for a start and a lot of things that you read in the media get slightly misconstrued and manipulated.

Obviously Victoria and Mel B have become mothers and there is a part of me that wants to be a mum.

Some people are naturally thin and some people are naturally heavier. It doesn't mean that bigger is healthier, or much thinner is healthier, it's on an individual basis.

There's always going to be that pressure when you're in front of the camera. When you're famous it's just an extreme version of reality and there's a pressure to look a certain way.

I've learnt that if I tell myself I'm not allowed something, I binge on it later. So if I want chocolate, I have chocolate. If I want biscuits, I have biscuits. I love cake. I just love cake.

Celebrity has some amazing advantages, of course it does. You're given an extraordinary power. It's a door-opener. I might not have to queue for things.

Being a celebrity, you can remain a child for ever, almost. You get away with more; you can get too pampered and it's not healthy.

I think I've really learned how important it is to empower women.

I'm so supported, and I'm so privileged. So many women today are single parents; I don't feel different. I think you get out of life what you put into it... and Bluebell was a beautiful accident. I feel blessed to have her. I'm learning every day as a mother.

If people choose to engage on a one-dimensional level that's fine. But going beyond the surface can enrich ourselves as human beings.

I obviously want to give a healthy body image to my own daughter. I think having good examples, eating properly, that's all one can do - and just be really loving around her. I've tried to give her confidence in who she is. I think she's all right in the confidence department.

I've been all sorts of different shapes and sizes at different times in my life.

On the beach, we women are at our most exposed and therefore most vulnerable. As any woman deserves to look and feel good, especially when she's away on holiday, she needs swimwear that pays proper attention to comfort and function. And there should also be some thought put into value.

I was a late starter on the romantic front. I didn't start dating until I was in my 30s.

I think it's unnecessary to be mean for the sake of being mean, but I do believe you have to be truthful, but with love.

For me, reading was always the great escape without getting your fingers burnt.

I'm always coming up against scepticism in my life.

I was so afraid of upsetting people, and not being liked for saying something that was not to everyone's taste.
