We've still got the melodies, we've still got the nice 'strong girl' lyrics going on.

Strong women, that's who I really respect.

When I was on stage with the Spice Girls, I thought people were there to see the other four and not me.

The first dress that I wore in the Spice Girls, which everybody thought was a little black Gucci dress, was actually from Miss Selfridge - it wasn't a little black Gucci dress.

I specialize in lyrics and melodies. I'm good with themes.

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.
