“I’ve got a lot that I want to do, so I would like to expand my empire, for sure. I love it.”

Drink whatever you like, just so long as it coordinates with your nail varnish.

Everyone’s showing their thong out the back of their jeans. But you shouldn’t wear any. You get a better line if you wear no knickers.

I don’t have any issues with my age.

I don’t want to be made to look like I’m 25. I’m 39. I don’t have any issues with my age.

For me to go to America – which I find such a positive place – well, I took to it like a duck to water.

People I respect complimenting me on my work in fashion is more exciting to me than anything I ever achieved as a Spice Girl.

I love what I do professionally, I’m really blessed. But my priority is my husband and my children.

More than anyone, I am aware of the preconceptions. I was a Spice Girl. I’m married to a footballer.

I’ve been in the public eye for about 15 or 16 years and I’m very aware that fame is not a given. I have to maintain it. It’s not just something that will always be there.

I love fashion – I really feel it’s where I belong.

I’m not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart, like a drawing that a child does.

I spent the whole summer with my boobs out, breastfeeding. I loved it. It was heaven.

The only time I get upset by things written about me – when people write irresponsible things about my weight… I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

People always think I’m taller than I am – not just because of the shoes I wear but because of the way I dress. It’s all relatively streamlined.

If I set my mind to something I do it. My biggest wish for all of us is that we are happy, successful, and that we stay true to ourselves.

We get death threats, kidnapping threats. The press criticizes my weight. It’s just the English way.
