I still cry a lot. I cry about the Spice Girls and I cry about my dad. He died just before I joined the band. I was always Daddy's little girl.
Who knows just where I'm going? ... Does tomorrow belong to me?
I am happy but a piece of me is still really sad. It runs like from my shoulder across my breast, across my heart. I've had growing pains in my brain.
I didn't want to leave the Spice Girls and immediately have a record on the back of that fame, so I waited to find out who I am and what I want.
I'm so supported, and I'm so privileged. So many women today are single parents; I don't feel different. I think you get out of life what you put into it... and Bluebell was a beautiful accident. I feel blessed to have her. I'm learning every day as a mother.
If people choose to engage on a one-dimensional level that's fine. But going beyond the surface can enrich ourselves as human beings.
I want everything I do to be special and fun. Everything I have done I have always done passionately, with all my heart and soul.
On the beach, we women are at our most exposed and therefore most vulnerable. As any woman deserves to look and feel good, especially when she's away on holiday, she needs swimwear that pays proper attention to comfort and function. And there should also be some thought put into value.
I'm always coming up against scepticism in my life.
When I'm scared, my natural state is to hide and run for cover.
I'm done with trying to be perfect. A perfect body belongs to somebody else - and it's not me.
The thing is, when I feel like I have to lose weight, the opposite happens. I remember stuffing loads of chocolate on the plane to the shoot, and I thought, 'Why don't you have the courage to show up in a body that's natural, not overly worked out?'
Celebrity has some amazing advantages, of course it does. You're given an extraordinary power. It's a door-opener. I might not have to queue for things.
I do get scared, but I think - like it says in another book I've read - feel the fear and do it anyway. I try to have courage, pray a little bit and work through it. I'd rather try, even if I fail.
