“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.”

So what if you end up buying a size 6 instead of a 4? You can always cut out the label at home, and you’ll pretty soon forget whatever that number was because you’ll be too busy admiring how fantastic you look.

I am very career minded, and I think my personality is more suited to America. I am a working mum.

I’m smiling on the inside. I feel I have a responsibility to the fashion community.

I’m a gay man in a woman’s body.

I take care of myself. I work out every day. I eat healthy. But I like to have fun too.

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

I tell you, the paparazzi would not be sitting outside if they realized I was the most boring person in Hollywood.

I have always loved fashion since I was a kid and customized my school uniforms.

I’m not one of these people that needs to feel loved. I don’t need to see my picture everywhere.

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.

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

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

A happiness that is sought for ourselves alone can never be found: for a happiness that is diminished by being shared is not big enough to make us happy.

Dream the impossible. Know that you are born in this world to do something wonderful and unique; don’t let this opportunity pass by. Give yourself the freedom to dream and think big.

For me, it’s not about breaking big in Hollywood, but having interesting experiences.

Once the mind has been expanded by a big idea, it will never go back to its original state.

The war between my mind and my heart has been the biggest destruction of my peace.

The world’s most sensible person and the biggest idiot both stay within us. The worst part is, you can’t even tell who is who.

My biggest concern is always the students who are working toward a certain career – when they limit themselves to just that one option. They need to know that the world is huge – it’s an ocean, and there are so many options. It’s not the end of the world if they don’t get to pursue an apparent childhood dream.

I think the coaches have to play a big role in the players’ development.
