I'm a bit of a Fleetwood Mac girl. I also think you can't beat a bit of old school Girls Aloud to get in the mood for going out.

I love Diet Coke, I drink Diet Coke... What girl doesn't like to have a Diet Coke?

I love listening to old 'Desert Island Discs' - I just sit there, switch my head off, and just have that moment.

I think if you're stressed, it shows in every part of you; how you carry yourself, which then affects your pose, how you hold your face, which then makes you look stressed and so nothing looks relaxed.

All I ever wanted to be was a mum. It wasn't like when I was at school I thought: 'Oh, I'm going to be this big career girl.'

Being a mummy is definitely my most favourite job of all, without a shadow of a doubt.

I have the same issues as the next person, but I do feel very lucky that I've been blessed with three lovely children and that I look forward to going to work, because I know a lot of people don't feel like that.

I love the dresses I wear, I think they are beautiful and until I think differently, I'll carry on.

I'm not going to change my entire wardrobe just because of what people have said.

My sister, Kelly, was really bright and academic. She was head girl of the school and at the top of her year. Because we were so different, we were never in competition. You can't be when you're almost running two different races.

Because I'm married and like being at home, I'm labelled as a Stepford wife.

I talk to my mates about our kids, being too tired and being worn out.

There was a time where I wouldn't go out of the house without at least putting mascara on.

The biggest misconception about me is that people seem to think that I want it all and that I had it all, and I walked away from having it all. That was never part of it. I never wanted it all.

I'm not completely straight up and down, I'm curvy, so I think I'm sort of a normal shape, wearing normal clothes.

Christmas parties for me are less about a sparkly dress and heels and more about the most ridiculous Christmas jumper I can find.

I try and get all my shopping done before December so all the presents are wrapped in my lounge and ready so I can really relax and enjoy Christmas.

You can take the stress out of Christmas by trying to be as organised as you possibly can.

Cuddly toy rabbits were a real comfort for all of my babies - once they got to a certain age they would nuzzle the fur.

Loads of my jewellery was my mum's.

I do spend quite a bit on shoes, I've a pair of Swarovski crystal Louboutin shoes, I can never wear them but they look amazing.

Behind every great fortune lies a great crime.

It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.

Laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught.

Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact.

True love is eternal, infinite, and always like itself. It is equal and pure, without violent demonstrations: it is seen with white hairs and is always young in the heart.

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

The more one judges, the less one loves.

A woman knows the face of the man she loves as a sailor knows the open sea.

There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power.

Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside.

Nobody loves a woman because she is handsome or ugly, stupid or intelligent. We love because we love.

A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.

The majority of husbands remind me of an orangutan trying to play the violin.

The man as he converses is the lover; silent, he is the husband.

Love is the poetry of the senses.

The motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom; to serve all, but love only one.

Power is not revealed by striking hard or often, but by striking true.

No man should marry until he has studied anatomy and dissected at least one woman.

The most virtuous women have something within them, something that is never chaste.

A mother who is really a mother is never free.

Solitude is fine, but you need someone to tell you that solitude is fine.

Clouds symbolize the veils that shroud God.

First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.

Great love affairs start with Champagne and end with tisane.

When women love us, they forgive us everything, even our crimes; when they do not love us, they give us credit for nothing, not even our virtues.

The fact is that love is of two kinds, one which commands, and one which obeys. The two are quite distinct, and the passion to which the one gives rise is not the passion of the other.

Nothing so fortifies a friendship as a belief on the part of one friend that he is superior to the other.

It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time.

Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies.
