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 think it's unnecessary to be mean for the sake of being mean, but I do believe you have to be truthful, but with love.
We are obsessed with image. I don't think we should take it that seriously.
I think I've really learned how important it is to empower women.
A lot of people have said that I've got a voice that speaks to children. I think I've got a natural naivety to me. I'm childish.
I have days of self-doubt, but I think the kindest thing I can do to myself is accept where my body is at.
I have a history of eating disorders but, as a mother, you think of being an example to your child. I'm so much more balanced than I was.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
