George really looked after me, ... After I left the band, I was completely isolated. It was like being on a very crowded street and then getting into a car and shutting the door. I was lonely, and he showed me so much warmth.
I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm damn well gonna do it!
I'm much more accepting of myself. A lot of my body issues have naturally settled down.
I've always made my own clothes since I was a little girl. I was a terrible sewer, but I was always cutting and customising.
I've been all sorts of different shapes and sizes at different times in my life.
I've got an image of me at the bottom of my garden sitting under my silver birch tree reading, while everyone else had gone somewhere exotic.
Obviously Victoria and Mel B have become mothers and there is a part of me that wants to be a mum.
'Spice Girls' is about unifying the world - every age, every gender, everyone. It's woman power, it's an essence, a tribe.
I have always wanted a solo career, deep in the darkest pit of myself, but I didn't dare admit it to myself even. It took me a long time to confront my fears.
I've learnt that if I tell myself I'm not allowed something, I binge on it later. So if I want chocolate, I have chocolate. If I want biscuits, I have biscuits. I love cake. I just love cake.
It's really important to remember that most people in the public eye are human for a start and a lot of things that you read in the media get slightly misconstrued and manipulated.
I obviously want to give a healthy body image to my own daughter. I think having good examples, eating properly, that's all one can do - and just be really loving around her. I've tried to give her confidence in who she is. I think she's all right in the confidence department.
I won't mention the word tired. This is the 20th century and I can go around a little faster.
I was so afraid of upsetting people, and not being liked for saying something that was not to everyone's taste.
