I've got an image of me at the bottom of my garden sitting under my silver birch tree reading, while everyone else had gone somewhere exotic.
On the beach, we women are at our most exposed and therefore most vulnerable. As any woman deserves to look and feel good, especially when she's away on holiday, she needs swimwear that pays proper attention to comfort and function. And there should also be some thought put into value.
For me, reading was always the great escape without getting your fingers burnt.
I just feel that the only power I have is setting a good example.
I love Australian people.
I'm done with trying to be perfect. A perfect body belongs to somebody else - and it's not me.
I have days of self-doubt, but I think the kindest thing I can do to myself is accept where my body is at.
I'm always coming up against scepticism in my life.
I do get scared, but I think - like it says in another book I've read - feel the fear and do it anyway. I try to have courage, pray a little bit and work through it. I'd rather try, even if I fail.
I was so afraid of upsetting people, and not being liked for saying something that was not to everyone's taste.
When I'm scared, my natural state is to hide and run for cover.
It is a blessing to have pretty people around me. I like people who are sparky, positive. Evil, dark people are repelled by me: 'Oooh no! Too much sunlight.'
I'm much more accepting of myself. A lot of my body issues have naturally settled down.
I have a history of eating disorders but, as a mother, you think of being an example to your child. I'm so much more balanced than I was.
'Spice Girls' is about unifying the world - every age, every gender, everyone. It's woman power, it's an essence, a tribe.
The thing is, when I feel like I have to lose weight, the opposite happens. I remember stuffing loads of chocolate on the plane to the shoot, and I thought, 'Why don't you have the courage to show up in a body that's natural, not overly worked out?'
