I think there is something lovely when a woman looks well.

I don't feel body confident at all! Anything but, actually.

I own some Victoria Beckham dresses; they make me feel great.

All my friends are girls. I just prefer the company of women.

There are very few people I would trust to look after my children.

The gold iridescent 'Naked' outfit is perhaps not my finest moment.

I don't get involved in football! I haven't got a sporty bone in my body.

I love Pilates - I am a really big believer in it as a practise; I think it's fab.

I'm not somebody who likes to show off my cleavage, and I don't dress up for the papers.

Growing up, I was never the kind of girl to dream about wedding dresses and pretty houses.

I grew up in a few houses because my dad was a builder, so we used to build and sell quite a lot.

By the way, you won't put that thing in about me wanting to have sex on a football pitch, will you?

It's inevitable: as I get older, I am going to get more wrinkles; it's something you have to accept.

The thing about dads is, even when they're very good, they don't do anything like as much as most mums do.

My wardrobe staple is simple shirt dresses. They never date, and you can put them with a heel or a flat sandal.

I've always loved Helena Christensen's style because she looks casual and comfortable, while being chic and cool.

New Zealand was one of the most beautiful countries to drive through for the scenery and the vast scale of the place.

The problem with being in the public eye for a long time is there are 20 years worth of looks to come back and haunt you!

Our life may look glamorous, but we scream at the kids, and I have to tell Jamie to tidy up if we have guests coming over.

I'm a big fan of Tony Blair. I'm not saying that I think his judgment has always been right, but I look at him as a person.

I think wearing less makeup can seem a bit scary for some women because we get so used to seeing ourselves look a certain way.

I have a good shopping relationship with my mum. She lets me buy, and she spectates. I take advice from her, and I give it, too.

I would be upset if I was on the 'worst dressed'. It would make me think, 'Surely I haven't done anything that horrific - have I?'

I love Spanish cities, particularly Barcelona, Madrid and Palma, which has the most amazing cathedral that I once went to for a wedding.

If you feel uncomfortable about something, just because you're in the public eye, it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when people say things.

Being in the pop group Eternal gave me the most wonderful opportunity to travel the world, and I have visited some spectacular countries.

I can play the piano. I started off with lessons, and then, as we always had a piano in the house, I would play around and became quite good.

Your soulmate doesn't just mean your husband or your boyfriend. I have friends in my life who I believe I was meant to meet and be a part of.

I love Stella McCartney because she's timeless and classic, and I love Isabel Marant for wearability - you don't need 'an occasion' for her clothes.

I guess the most important thing for us is that the kids work hard and they are grateful for the life they lead - that they know it doesn't come easy.

The thought of a spa treatment is lovely, but I'd be lying there having a massage and worrying about how much I had to do. I'm not very good at relaxing!

I was on a beach in Hawaii for a video shoot once, and it was incredibly beautiful. It had very fine black sand with a silver sparkle running through it.

I don't believe in lots of face creams; I think your skin should work for itself. Your natural oils look after your skin, so I just use a simple face wash.

I'll teach my kids right from wrong, but I'm never going to teach them that they can't have fun. They'll make mistakes; they'll do things they regret, like we all have.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm still scared of the dark. I have to have a light on all night. It's completely irrational, and my son is the same. I just hate the dark.

I suppose I try to dress for women like me, women I would look at and think, 'Ah, she looks cool, she looks nice'. You kind of get to an age when you know what suits you.

I used to think you should keep on experimenting and seeing new things. But after seeing a lot of the world, I now tend to return to the same spots. I enjoy the familiarity.

My business partner and make-up artist Kim Jacob and I have employed every member of staff, decided where every desk in the office should go, tried every product on our faces.

I've always been a bad flyer, but I don't let it get in the way of travelling. I love stepping off the plane and feeling the heat and the foreign smell of being somewhere different.

One thing I wish I'd done differently in my career is insist on having friends or family on tour. I was really young when I travelled the world with Eternal, and I was always homesick.

As much as we love being sociable on holiday, part of me craves the idea of being away, staying in a hut on the beach, and maybe not seeing anyone for days apart from Jamie and the boys.

I wish I was told to look after my teeth when I was younger. My smile is really important to me and one of my biggest assets, so I'm very conscious that I need to keep it in top condition.

For a performer, passion is far more important than technical skills. If a dancer's leg isn't at a perfect angle, I can see past that, but if someone's dead in the face, it's really boring.

I realised that a lot of women felt the same way I did - they didn't want to wear heavy make-up, but, for whatever reason, there were elements in their skin they want to smooth out or cover.

Age is just a number, and I know so many women who look fabulous at 40, 50 and 60 so it doesn't scare me. It's inevitable - I will get older, and the wrinkles will come, but I'm not that bothered.

After having your first child, it's a massive shock to the system. I work in an industry where people judge you and the way you look, and you always want to put your best foot forward when you can.

The footballers' wives I know, they're teachers, midwives. They want to do something useful. One is working at my son's nursery, on her hands and knees, in Converse and jeans, teaching kids to count.

When I'm up on stage, I don't think about anything except the song I'm singing. Anyway, the majority of my audience is female, and I can't think that many of them want to see me a French maid outfit somehow!

I have quite dark skin, and when I had my son, I suffered quite bad pigmentation; I had dark patches on my face. Everyone said it would go, but it would take a very long time for them to even slightly disappear.

I really believe less is more. When you get older, too much makeup can be ageing, and when you're young, you should enjoy the fact your skin is free from lines and wrinkles rather than overloading it with products.
