I am a control freak. I am very hands on and pay attention to details.

I keep fit by running after my three boys all day.

I love Brazilians. Brazilians ought to be made compulsory at 15.

I'm not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart, like a drawing that a child does.

I've been that celebrity on the red carpet, and I appreciate that something hasn't got to just look good from the front, from the back, it's got to look good at all angles.

I want a big house with a moat and dragons and a fort to keep people out.

I'm very proud to be British, and my brand is British.

If you haven't got it. Fake it! Too short? Wear big high heels, but do practice walking!

What's David's role? David looks good, that's what David does. David looks good, and I'm the funny one, that's what I hear constantly. But I keep telling him that looks fade.

We are still so close, David and I. We were at a party the other day at my mum's house and I was sitting on his lap. We're very affectionate. And I looked at him and thought after being married for 11 years! We were the only couple who were even near each other at that party. We're soul mates.

I like a man who can be a real friend, has a good sense of humor, a good pair of shoes and a healthy gold card.

I don't know much about football. I know what a goal is, which is surely the main thing about football.

I'm still me even after all that's happened.

I can relax in L.A. I think I'm the only person in that town who doesn't want to act. I was an OK singer. I was an OK dancer. But acting? Never could do it.

There are rumors that we want to move back to the U.K., but we're so happy in America I actually can't see us ever leaving... People ask me how long it took to adapt. Twenty minutes.

You have to remember that when you are a performer you become a celebrity, but you are not saving lives. It's not that important.

In England, David and I are big fish in a small pond. But in L.A., we are tiny, tiny, tiny fish in a big pond.

These people are amazing. It's so emotional I was thinking about wearing waterproof mascara.

I'm a very driven, ambitious, positive person. But I'm a spiritual person as well. I believe in creative visualization. So for me to go to America - which I find such a positive place - well, I took to it like a duck to water.

This person they make me out to be irritates the hell out of me as well.

I am a control freak. I am very hands on and pay attention to details.

My dresses are for women of all different shapes and sizes. Actually, the one I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore. And who'd have thought I'd be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!

I wake up every morning and I feel like I'm juggling glass balls. I live in Los Angeles, my business is run out of London, and most evenings I'm cuddled up in front of Skype, in my dressing gown, speaking with my studio in London. I travel a lot, my team travel a lot, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

After dinner I'll catch up with emails. And when I'm lying in bed, I think about the next collection. That makes me sound insane, doesn't it? That I'm getting into bed with David Beckham and thinking about clothes?

Antonio Berardi is one of my good friends.

Bottom line: I can relax in L.A. I think I'm the only person in that town who doesn't want to act. I was an OK singer. I was an OK dancer. But acting? Never could do it.

Clothes have to be simple and comfortable.

Contrary to rumor, sometimes I can be quite a laugh.

Even if I wouldn't wear something myself, I think I know how women feel, how women want to look. I can really relate to women, I get on very well with women... Some women don't. I want to empower women, make women feel the best version of themselves.

Even if you're not being chased by paparazzi, there will be someone doing selfies, so everybody has to be camera-ready all the time. Whoever you are, everybody has to be ready now!

Everything that I design I would wear myself.

Fashion nowadays is all about product - bags and shoes - and you're kind of a product yourself, aren't you?

First and foremost, I feel very lucky to have the family I have, so I would like my family to stay happy and healthy.

For me to go to America - which I find such a positive place - well, I took to it like a duck to water.

For me, doing a show is great, but I want women to be able to wear the clothes easily as well.

I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. Fashion stole my smile!

I am very career minded, and I think my personality is more suited to America. I am a working mother.

I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

I become quite obsessive when I get into something.

I believe in creative visualization.

I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.

I do like to make things difficult for myself and my team, just from taking on a challenge, if you like.

I don't believe anyone who says they don't care what people say about them. Of course they bloody well do.

I don't have any issues with my age.

I don't have to work; I need to work.

I don't like laziness or cutting corners.

I find it odd that people will go to a nice restaurant or to the theater in jeans and T-shirts.

I find that even the simplest of dresses, if it has the correct seaming and the correct fabric, whatever shape or size you are, it can change the way you hold yourself.

I have always been a great believer that women should support women, and my admiration goes out to mothers everywhere, as they constantly put their own needs behind those of their children, embracing daily uncertainties and entering the new uncharted territories that each day brings, to be, in return, rewarded with joy and unending love.
