“I'm generally quite active and try to squeeze in a workout when I'm waiting for stuff. Like if you're cooking dinner, try to squeeze in a few squats or a few yoga moves. Or if you're brushing your teeth. You know, just trying to do more than one thing at once.”
“There was no social media. There's not as many TV shows and magazines and things. Before you would release a single and you would go to HMV and do a signing and a performance, they don't even have HMV anymore.”
“Sexism definitely exists - you see that in all walks of life.”
“Slowly but surely, people don't see 'Popstars: The Rivals,' they see Girls Aloud. We're a band in our own right.”
“I am such an indoor person.”
“I remember the days beginning at sixteen, seventeen years old in Girls Aloud. Nobody knew us, nobody cared. We'd do university shows and people threw beers cans at us. All sorts of crazy things! We had to work really hard to get where we did.”
“I can't decide which way I talk. I really, honestly can't.”
“Keeping your sense of self is important.”
“I have an animal phobia, especially ones I don't know.”
“It's amazing what you can do in your bathroom! I would do vocals and stuff on my computer that would need to be sent to London or New York for things to be added on, and I was thinking they always say you sound good in the bathroom - but then I'd kick the bin, or someone in the next room would flush the chain or something and I'd be like 'oh no!'”
“I hate sweating, running and getting that red-faced look.”
“All the stories are the least of my worries - I'm so used to it. There's never been anybody trying to get away from the band, because this is what we all wanna do.”
“I am one of three sisters and went to an all-girls grammar school so I'm used to being around girls.”
“In Girls Aloud, there's always someone there to help out, to jump in on difficult questions and to moan with about how hard we're working. That camaraderie isn't there when you're solo.”
“I have a very good, close circle of friends, I keep it positive. Obviously there is the negative stuff, but you've got to let go of it. You can't get bogged down in the details of anything, otherwise you'd drive yourself mad.”
“When I'm out and people ask me what I do for a living, the worst thing you can say is, 'I'm a singer.' It opens up a can of worms.”
“We're not into all those dodgy journos who makes stories up.”
“I tend to go with the flow and that flow can end up in great places or not so great places.”
“I have nieces and nephews who I've nurtured, but when it's your own it's hard to put into words how difficult it is.”
“To be able to create an album where you are in complete control of your own work is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an artist.”
