“I used to feel famous, but now I feel successful.”

I was never going to give Mariah Carey any competition.

I don’t want to be seen smiling, having fun, or eating.

I was very obsessed. I mean, I could tell you the fat content and the calorie content in absolutely anything.

I have a lot on my plate. I’m not going to lie about it, I’m tired. I’m really tired but I’m also very happy with my life.

There need to be more women supporting women. Not just in fashion, in general.

If you have a surreal life like I do, you’ve got to have fun along the way.

I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. Fashion stole my smile!

I think as I have got older, I have got a bit more relaxed, although you might not think that if you heard me screaming at my kids.

When I was on stage with the Spice Girls, I thought people were there to see the other four and not me.

I’m a very, very healthy eater. I eat lots of fish, lots of vegetables, lots of fruit. I don’t eat junk food.

You have to remember that when you are a performer you become a celebrity, but you are not saving lives. It’s not that important.

I think the sexiest thing about a woman is confidence, but confidence in a humble way, not in an arrogant way.

I don’t wear heels every day, but when I’m out, that’s how I feel confident.

Before I became famous I used to think there’s no smoke without fire. But believe me, there can be a fire without smoke.

When you’re in a position to be paparazzi-ed just walking down the street, you’d look a little daft if you were smiling all the time.

I have started smiling! I’ve mastered this smirk; it’s a smile that isn’t a smile.

I remember as a little boy I ate one meal a day and sometimes slept in the street. I will never forget that and it inspires me to fight hard, stay strong and remember all the people of my country, trying to achieve better for themselves.

It’s hard to say I don’t like being famous, but how I feel is that I don’t see myself as that person. It baffles me that people would want a picture with me.

It’s nice to have famous people love you.

It seems like there’s never enough famous white people among comic in Hollywood.

The idea of putting out an album is quite exciting because it’s sharing your creativity with people. There’s no ambition to be famous. I couldn’t care less about that.

I’m not trying to stay away from being a celebrity, I’m not saying, ‘I’m sooo not famous,’ I’m trying to continue being a musician in a time when everyone is very celebrity-led.

Exposure and attention make a work famous – the more you talk about it, the more attention it gets, the more validity it achieves.

Most famous people get younger and younger. I sometimes ask myself that question: ‘How come I’m the only person who’s getting older?’
