“I don’t know much about football. I know what a goal is, which is surely the main thing about football.”

Sometimes it’s frustrating if I’m out with the kids and have to deal with the paparazzi. That comes with it though. But it was fun becoming famous. I mean, I even wanted to one of the kids in FAME when I was growing up.

I’ll admit it: I’m a control freak. I am. If I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it 110% or there’s no point in doing it at all, especially if the work takes me away from time with my husband and children.

I’m feminine, but I wouldn’t say that I’m girly in any way at all.

I am eating more. I think you do eat more when you’re working out. And you want to eat healthily, so it’s good all round.

Sunglasses always hide a multitude of sins. Sunglasses and a great pair of heels can turn most outfits around.

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 love football and I love winning, and when things aren’t going right I get annoyed.

Look, there’s no rule in soccer against biting your opponent. There’s not even a rule against eating your opponent. The only rule in soccer is that you can’t use your hands.

Being a dad is more important than football.

Football changed my life and it gave me a platform to get out my aggression and it gave me a sense of value.

You just can’t believe how quickly things happen in football and the way life turns. I went from being the bad guy, the worst player who gets all the criticism, to being the player who makes the difference and scores the important goals.

I’m a rock star because I couldn’t be a soccer star.

I am passionate about football. My support for Celtic FC has got me through some hard times in my life. I still play regularly, too.

In Latin America the border between soccer and politics is vague. There is a long list of governments that have fallen or been overthrown after the defeat of the national team.
