I'm Not Worried About What's In Fashion, What's Not In Fashion, What Are The Colors Of The Season. I Go With My Gut Instinct Because Every Time I Haven't It's Been A Mistake.

If You Can Get Your Head Around Your Dream It Means Your Dream Isn't Big Enough.

Before I Became Famous I Used To Think There's No Smoke Without Fire. But Believe Me, There Can Be A Fire Without Smoke.

We Are Still So Close, David And I. We Were At A Party The Other Day At My Mum's House And I Was Sitting On His Lap. We're Very Affectionate. And I Looked At Him And Thought After Being Married For 11 Years! We Were The Only Couple Who Were Even Near Each Other At That Party. We're Soul Mates.

When I Started Out In Fashion, Everything Had To Be Very Structured And Tight And Controlling, And Now I'm Getting To A Point Where I Think - I Could Wear A Great Big Parka, That Could Be Quite Fabulous. I Haven't Always Got To Show Off My Size, Show Off My Shape. It's A Turning Point For Me.

I Was Never A Natural. I Got There In The End Because I Did Believe That If You Work Hard Enough, Then You Can Achieve A Lot.

I Can't Concentrate In Flats.

I Never Take Anything For Granted. I Think It's Very Cool To Still Get Excited About Things. I Get As Excited Now As I Ever Did When I Get A Chauffeur Driven Car Pick Me Up And I Stay In A Fantastic Hotel Or Get To Fly In A Private Plane. I Never Want To Get Blasé.

I Read Once That Elegance Is A Privilege Of Age. I Thought, That's So True. You Get More Comfortable With Yourself As You Get Older.

When I'm Lying In Bed I Think About The Next Collection. That Makes Me Sound Insane, Doesn't It? That I'm Getting Into Bed With David Beckham And Thinking About Clothes.

You'd Have Thought They'd Have Been On About Sir Elton John, And The Fantastic Goals David Has Scored Which Have Got Us Through To The World Cup. But What They Were Really Interested In Was That I Was Holding A Bag That Had 'sex' Written On It. It's Quite Bizarre.

It's Such An Old-fashioned Attitude To Make People Feel Like They're Not Good Enough For Your Clothes. That's So Negative And So Old-fashioned And Wrong.

People I Respect Complimenting Me On My Work In Fashion Is More Exciting To Me Than Anything I Ever Achieved As A Spice Girl.

So What If You End Up Buying A Size 6 Instead Of A 4? You Can Always Cut Out The Label At Home, And You’ll Pretty Soon Forget Whatever That Number Was Because You’ll Be Too Busy Admiring How Fantastic You Look.
