“I'm just not a huge romantic type and getting married is a hugely romantic gesture.”
“Insatiable,' the album, was more of a project, really... it was more like a songwriting excursion and an exclusive deal that hadn't really ever been done that often before... me being like, 'ooh I'm an entrepreneur,' rather than 'this is my singing career.'”
“I don't want to be in the newspapers or to feel like I have to manipulate things to make my life seem a way it's not.”
“It was fine at the start but there's always politics in any band. It just happened that I always got more vocals than everybody else, so in terms of people wanting their voice heard, that wasn't happening. It made people, very bitter.”
“My older sister has four kids and I honestly don't know how she does it.”
“There's no rules in music anymore. You don't have to go down with, 'You have a single, let's do six weeks of promo, beginning with this, doing this, doing this.'”
“As a woman I think we are capable of doing so many things. There is great ability to compartmentalise - to focus on the task at hand, do it well and then move on to the next one, while having another million things going on.”
“I've only been blessed with one talent, unfortunately, and that's being able to sing a wee bit.”
“I love to make everything as much about the music as possible.”
“I rarely do shows just by myself, I've had vocalists or musicians so I can look at them and connect - and say 'can you breathe... do you need a water?'”
“I get superstitious. I always have to have some form of potato, either chips or mashed potato or roast potatoes on a show day.”
“I had a few teachers when they would hear a noise they would immediately be like, 'Nadine, outside!' I spent about two years standing outside the physics classroom.”
“Girls Aloud is not just us five, there's like us five plus a ridiculous team of 50 who travel with us, it's amazing.”
“Writing was something that came easily to me and there's so many great producers who just teach you so much.”
“I love doing things on stage with other people.”
“Lip balm can double up for taming the brows, too.”
“I do like to do mad stuff on occasions.”
“I only want to do live shows. What happens with TV shows is you can't always do things live.”
“I loved being in the group, and some of the things that we were able to do were amazing.”
“I'm not a single mum, I am just a mum.”
