“I don’t believe anyone who says they don’t care what people say about them. Of course they bloody well do.”

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 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 can’t believe what you say, because I see what you do.

The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.

I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.

I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won’t let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.

I believe in the person I want to become.

I believe that you see something that you want to get done, you cannot give up, and you cannot give in.

The care of God for us is a great thing, if a man believe it at heart: it plucks the burden of sorrow from him.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice.
