I have no time for women who don't support other women. It's the ultimate compliment when a woman tells you that you look good.

Even if you're not being chased by paparazzi, there will be someone doing selfies, so everybody has to be camera-ready all the time. Whoever you are, everybody has to be ready now!

The kind of person who's going to stand on the red carpet and love the attention and have the big grin - I'm just not like that. I want to get in there, do what I've got to do, and get home to my kids.

I find it odd that people will go to a nice restaurant or to the theater in jeans and T-shirts.

Contrary to rumor, sometimes I can be quite a laugh.

I've been in the public eye now for about 15 or 16 years, and I'm very aware that fame is not a given. I have to maintain it. It's not just something that will always be there. But I've always been a worker. I've never expected be given anything.

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.

People I respect complimenting me on my work in fashion is more exciting to me than anything I ever achieved as a Spice Girl. I am now competing in an arena where I can hold my head high. I feel quite confident in what I'm doing now, much more than the singing. I was never going to give Mariah Carey any competition.

For me, doing a show is great, but I want women to be able to wear the clothes easily as well.

I'm definitely a glass-is-always-half-full, not half-empty, kind of person. Which is why I love living in America.
