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

I like a man who can be a real friend, has a good sense of humor, a good pair of shoes and a healthy gold card.

I want my kids to have a good work ethic. I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.

I become quite obsessive when I get into something.

What do you wear on a running machine? I can’t bring myself to wear flat shoes.

I was never a natural. I got there in the end because I did believe that if you work hard enough, then you can achieve a lot.

When I’m lying in bed I think about the next collection. That makes me sound insane, doesn’t it? That I’m getting into bed with David Beckham and thinking about clothes.

My children and my husband make me smile. My work makes me smile.

I’ve always been a worker. I’ve never expected be given anything.

My dresses are for women of all different shapes and sizes. Actually, the one I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore. And who’d have thought I’d be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!

I am a control freak. I am very hands on and pay attention to details.

It’s not healthy to be jealous.

Some wedges are great but you can look like your feet are encased in cement.

And while everybody was busy laughing, what was I doing? I was laying the foundation to what I have in place now.

My aim is to create the perfect dress!

I have no intention of ever working with the (Spice) girls again.

It’s such an old-fashioned attitude to make people feel like they’re not good enough for your clothes. That’s so negative and so old-fashioned and wrong.

I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.

Kids are great. That’s one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It’s a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names.

My humanity, in common with all of God’s children, gives the greatest flight to my full range of my possibilities.

It’s the first time it’s happened to me and maybe the last. It’s a strange sensation, not normal for me. I can’t remember scoring three goals, even when I was a kid.

I strongly believe the black culture spends too much time, energy and effort raising, praising, and teasing our black children about the dubious glories of professional sports.

A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.

It’s more pressure on women to – if they marry or partner with someone, to partner with the right person. Because you cannot have a full career and a full life at home with your children if you are also doing all of the housework and child care.
