I enjoy getting older, because people take you more seriously.

Social media can be incredibly damaging for impressionable people.

My only opinion on childbirth is not to have an opinion, and not to judge. We're all different and anything can happen when it comes to labour: you just don't know until you get there.

If anyone says, 'Does anyone have any ideas on this?' I sometimes think, 'I'm not going to say that because it's stupid.' But now I'm like, 'Actually, I can have an idea and if it's not right, it's not right.' I'm a grown adult and I'm allowed to have an opinion or an idea.

I really rely on knowing how to apply make-up properly, rather than slapping it on and hoping for the best.

I think what you get with the voice is that people can actually sing. The entertainment you get is not only from the contestants but also from the coaches.

When I was 18 I went to Australia for work and I remember an agent telling me I was too fat. I wasn't fat, or heavy - or even skinny, I was just normal with a round face.

Nobody wants to hear horrible things about themselves.

I have one friend who I don't think has a mean bone in her body and I find that very bizarre. I can't imagine her ever flying off the handle, whereas I will.

I couldn't believe my first job at the BBC was going to be a primetime show. I was baffled at first: 'Are you sure you've got the right Emma?!'

I eat a healthy diet and try to be gluten-free - my body functions better without it.

I don't deprive myself. I eat chocolate most nights and if there's a cake knocking around I'll have it. And I do like Nando's.

In a parallel universe I am delivering babies or working on a children's ward. TV was my plan B really - plan A was always medicine.

I took on 'What Would Be Your Miracle' because I wanted to do something far removed from 'Big Brother' and 'The Voice.'

Having the chance to model was completely unexpected. I wasn't very girly, but it was an adventure and it changed my life for ever.

I had a blonde perm when I was a teenager.

I'm just not a glamourpuss dollybird.

There's nothing worse than someone saying 'wear this' and it not being you.

I like to wear jeans, Converse and a sweater, so from the back I can sometimes look like a boy!

Compared to somebody who goes to work every single day in an office from nine til six, I'm lucky. I see my kids every day, I get a lot of time with them.

I am slim but I've got a lot of wobble! I wear tight clothes and it holds it all in but genuinely I'm covered in cellulite - that's why I almost never wear skirts.

I love John McCririck. Not a lot of people say that! Part of his misogynistic ways are very real, but part of it is a little act.

I would love to take care of myself and look like Victoria Beckham every time I leave the house. But for me that is not realistic.

I always worry that there's not going to be another job.

I'm a very positive person, but I'm a realist too.

I think you can always learn from a little bit of negativity.

It wasn't love at first sight with Matt - we were friends at the beginning, and our friendship developed.

I've always thought doing 'Strictly' would be amazing. they all look so incredible at the end, but the hours you have to put in are insane.

I'm a terrible skier and snowboarder but I still love it. But I also love lying around in the sun, eating good food and doing nothing.

While I was living in New York a friend and I flew to Miami and travelled through a storm. I could see lightning strikes through the window. I grabbed my friend's hand tightly and kept repeating: 'We're going to die! We're going to die!' Thank goodness he was there as I don't know what I'd have done if I was on my own.

I feel like I know myself, who I am, what I'm doing. What I'm good at and what I'm not good at.

I was not born with a golden spoon in my mouth.

Ozil is a genius. He has one-of-a-kind vision for the game. He has two eyes in the front of his head and two eyes in the back.

I know, everywhere I go, I have the door open because I am a great footballer and a great person.

You can insult me - you can judge me on the football pitch - that's normal. But don't touch my family. Don't touch my parents. I love them more than everything on this earth.

We all have to fight through our mistakes to become a better man.

There is nothing more important for me than God.

I did not walk for the first four years of my life.

Everything I do in life I put in the hands of God, my creator.

If I regret leaving City, I'd regret leaving Madrid, I would regret Arsenal, and I would regret maybe even Metz, where I started off. So I have no regrets in life; life is too short to start regretting things.

You want to play against the best defenders and the best teams. You want to test yourself.

When a family is poor, everyone is poor, and there is huge solidarity. People will take a bullet for you. But when one makes it, it is like you owe everyone.

All I want to do is win titles.

I'm very happy to have been a player who played for Arsenal, because the fans were always great to me - the manager, everyone, the players - and if I can just wish them the best of luck. They know, no matter what happened, they will always be in my heart because I love the club.

My fitness is one area I've never had questioned in my career.

Winning is good but is better when it becomes a means of hope and positive change in the lives of those who are deprived.

If one player can say that I, Emmanuel Adebayor, spoke badly to anyone in the changing rooms, then I'd honestly like to know who it is. It has never happened in my life.

Whenever I have a chance to wake up and be alive, I always thank God for that, and for me, all the rest is a bonus.

My father always told me to be myself and say what you think is the right thing; sometimes you pay the consequences, but it means tomorrow will be a happy day for you.

I went through a lot of good moments in Arsenal and a lot of difficult moments as well.
