Melanie Brown quotes:

I collect art. I just recently bought two gorgeous photographs of Marilyn Monroe by international photographer Eve Arnold and I know it sounds horrible but when she dies all her pictures are going to be worth triple. But I won't tell you how much I got them for - let's just say it was a lot.

I'm always down for a Spice Girls reunion. I love the Scary hair and platforms. Any time of day or night I'll be there.

Look, everything that you experience as a kid is the foundation of how you are today. I was brought up in a working class family in Leeds and when it comes to money both my parents worked hard and instilled the same attitude into me.

Whether I was dancing around the house with headphones on or on stage with the Spice Girls... I learned firsthand that dancing was the key to shedding off the pounds and keeping them off.

I represent the mixed race community, which I think gets left out a lot. I always describe myself as being mixed race.

I'm well-travelled so I can see places coming up. I went to St. Croix in the West Indies at Christmas and it had been hit by a really bad tornado. Values there have gone down but I guarantee they will be up again in eight years. So I'll get in now while it's cheap as chips.

I live on my gut instinct.

Hopefully, next year if we can get everything sorted out and together.

I'm overly excited to finally announce this amazing global partnership deal back home with EMI Music. I know I have mentioned doing music in the past but for legal reasons I was not in a position to release any new music.

Sometimes I can be tactful and sometimes not. It all depends on the mood I'm in.

England is my home. I could never leave. I'd miss my family and friends too much.

I would love to have twins. I think there's something nice about having two babies, and they're there for each other their whole entire life.

I live my life on self-belief and I live it partly on going with the flow.

I know about investment. It's really obvious - you buy property, let it sit for a couple of years and then sell it and reinvest.

If my senses don't feel right then I don't do it.

I'm a businesswoman at the end of the day.

I'm one of five girls in the whole entire world that can honestly say I'm a Spice Girl. I'm still proud of that, and what we've achieved as a group - spreading the word of positivity and girl power. I'm really proud to call myself that.

You never can expect what people's reactions are going to be. You can only hope that everyone feels the way that you do.

I've always said that kids should enhance your life, not hinder your life, so I just try to make the most out of being with my kids. You have to have a life for yourself somewhere in the mix of being a wife and mum.

The way that I live my life is on spontaneity.

Breastfeeding is amazing; you can actually feel your stomach shrink with every feed.

Anything that I actually do drink myself or I do actually use myself, I'm going to be into promoting it.

As a singer, you need to find you water that works for you.

I don't have any pressure on myself. I don't have a big record label backing me. I'm doing it all myself.

I don't want to stop bringing out music.

I'm always busy. And I don't even see it really as work, because everything I do I still really enjoy.

I'm not putting pressure on myself, all I know is I want to do music.

You've gotta be business savvy really, or else you get the piss taken out of you.

I wouldn't call myself a feminist. I try to live by the girl-power motto. It's about believing in yourself, no matter how bad a day you're having, and lending your support to other women. It's empowering to have that camaraderie with other women.

It's all about embracing your inner beauty and just living for yourself.
