I refuse to totally grow up. I've always been someone who says and does things that push politically correct boundaries.

When I first met him [David Beckham] I didn't know whether to shake his hand or lick his face.

What was I like? I had a high-pitched voice. Sounded a bit like a girl. Spoke with a Stoke accent, tremendously naive. Overconfident. Tremendously overconfident. And underconfident at the same time - really, really bad combination! Gets you places, though.

I enjoy nakedness. I am a bit of a naturist at heart.

Inside me there is a fat man dying to get out.

I am the first to admit I have made a couple of mistakes: two trips to rehab, Rudebox, the album, Geri Halliwell. I should have gone for Victoria, really, shouldn't I? I'd have been really famous.

I've really been grappling with depression. It's all linked with my cocaine and ecstasy abuse.
