I like everything to be natural... believable.

In any social situation I'd much rather be on the periphery of things than at the centre. When I'm standing at the edge I'm comfortable in my own skin. When I'm standing in the middle it's all confusion.
I didn't know I was harming myself. I don't think my parents should have allowed me to use a sunbed, but they weren't aware of the dangers either.
I have very sensitive skin and every time I have a facial it makes it worse, so I tend to avoid them.
I feel that all girls like clothes and I'm more of a creative person. If it's writing the album or developing the makeup range, it's just about being creative. That for me is where I am happiest.
I think if you're happy and you're a nice person and you have a nice personality that always shines through.
In a way Girls Aloud were the first wave of modern celebrity. When we started out there were no camera phones clicking away.
I had a very narrow-minded view on what was pretty and what wasn't. I automatically thought that tanned was attractive.
I had a year of therapy and I swear to God, I went in that with a certain level of self-love, but not enough to keep me out of bad relationships, not enough to try and save people who were toxic for me, not enough to recognise when something was bad, to walk away.
Don't like lychees.
I struggled all the time to find makeup that was light enough.
Have a good sense of perspective and be able to snap yourself out of bad moods, as we often wind ourselves up about the silliest things.
I'm one of those people who likes to be the only redhead in the village.
I'm not gonna sit and pretend I'm hard as nails.
Girls Aloud had a style of music, so you come together and work as a group.
I hated London; I was so lonely.
We had to struggle for what we've learned, but we're so thankful.
In an arena, with Girls Aloud, it's a big production and you don't have time to talk to the crowd about the songs.
You spend so much time in a studio writing for other people, you forget you sing, you know?
I think sometimes certain behaviour of men is seen as normal or usual - but it's never normal or usual to the victim, ever. It's horrific.
I don't like the feeling of being unhappy. I don't like the feeling of being unsure about myself, or uncertain with where something's going - I would rather turn away. I just can't feel like that ever again. It's just horrible.
I feel like I had quite a bad time from about 2003 to 2007.
I used to do fake tanning because I was told that I didn't look great.
I want people to stop being so obsessed with the way they look.
We've got ourselves into a very vain state of society and there's more important things.
I want cancer rates to fall.
I'm frightened of the dark.
Me whole life, me whole childhood, me whole growing up, the competitions I went for and the weekends doing the dancing and all the shows, was to be a singer.
I was a 16-year-old little girl from this little town who just wanted to sing.
You've got to be your own best friend.
Time off doesn't sit well with me.
I think everyone just likes what they like. And fashion is something that I have found a lot of 'like' in.
I have some people in my life who are stunning on the outside but maybe not as beautiful on the inside and I have people in my life who are such lovely people so I see them as being really beautiful.
I was aware that there weren't many make up brands that catered for women for extra pale skin so I feel proud that I've been the person to do it.
Not everyone can like what you wear - sometimes you don't even like what you wear.
Kanye West would be my dream collaboration.
I'm just the biggest Kanye fan. I think he's a genius.
For years I felt like the ugly one in Girls Aloud.
It was weird. I joined this band because my life was all about singing. Then Girls Aloud became successful, and suddenly it wasn't just about being able to sing any more. It turned into a beauty contest.
People on radio and television started making nasty comments about me and I felt awful. Turning from a teenager into a woman is hard enough without dealing with snide comments.
Ultimately I'm quite a strong person.
Too much dairy and wheat gives me bad skin.
For years I hated being pale.
Anyone of any age or background who loved pop music liked our songs.
We were put together by the public, they voted for us to be in the band. So we were very much the public's band.
We made mistakes publicly.
I love Rodial, their products are amazing.
My celebrity hair icon is Lana Del Rey, and beauty wise I like Jennifer Lawrence and I love Kerry Washington in 'Scandal' - her make-up is flawless on that show. She is one of my TV icons.
I do 100 squats while I brush my teeth.
I won't eat frozen food and I like to know where my food has come from. I don't like anything going in my body that's from a packet. I used to eat microwave ready meals, because we were so busy, but now I like to eat clean.
