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 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.

Perfectionism kills art. I find that if I criticise myself, it spoils the fun. You can get paralysed by analysis - it takes all the playfulness away.

For me feminism is bra-burning lesbianism. It's very unglamorous.

Obviously Victoria and Mel B have become mothers and there is a part of me that wants to be a mum.

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 know that I've overfed myself trying to prop myself up because I'm exhausted.
