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 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.
