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'm much more accepting of myself. A lot of my body issues have naturally settled down.

Some people are naturally thin and some people are naturally heavier. It doesn't mean that bigger is healthier, or much thinner is healthier, it's on an individual basis.

I love being on the beach - it's my favourite place. I can chill out, read, listen to music, play with my daughter.

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

'Spice Girls' is about unifying the world - every age, every gender, everyone. It's woman power, it's an essence, a tribe.
