“The older you get, the more comfortable you become with yourself, and you accept what you have physically.”

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

Mistakes are normal and human. Make them small, accept them, correct them, and forget them.

Too many times I’ve reached into shallow wells searching for acceptance, and too many times my bucket has come empty.

Hold on to the ones who accept your rainbow as well as dark skies.

Friendships exist in the fluctuations between acceptance and rejection.

I accepted all of you – except for the vital part, that couldn’t accept all of me.

Be grateful for what you have now, even if it’s not everything you wanted.

I guess I was the son you didn’t want but I grew into a man every mother would love. In your rejection, I was forced to find acceptance I filled your absence with the strength to be better.

Healing was not found in mending my brokenness, but in finding peace among the pieces.
