Victoria Beckham Quotations

I love Brazilians. Brazilians ought to be made compulsory at 15.

I'm very realistic. I know my boundaries - I know what I'm good at and what I'm not good at.

I'll admit it: I'm a control freak. I am. If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it 110% or there's no point in doing it at all, especially if the work takes me away from time with my husband and children.

I don't believe anyone who says they don't care what people say about them. Of course they bloody well do.

I'm feminine, but I wouldn't say that I'm girly in any way at all.

I like a man who can be a real friend, has a good sense of humor, a good pair of shoes and a healthy gold card.

I'm not materialistic. I believe in presents from the heart, like a drawing that a child does.

I'm a very driven, ambitious, positive person. But I'm a spiritual person as well.

I want a big house with a moat and dragons and a fort to keep people out.

When I started out in fashion, everything had to be very structured and tight and controlling, and now I'm getting to a point where I think - I could wear a great big parka, that could be quite fabulous. I haven't always got to show off my size, show off my shape. It's a turning point for me.

You've got to trust people. And because I am a control freak, sometimes that's difficult for me, because I want to micro-manage absolutely everything. I can't hand over. But I'm trying to do that more.

I have always loved fashion since I was a kid and customized my school uniforms.

I wake up every morning and I feel like I'm juggling glass balls. I live in Los Angeles, my business is run out of London, and most evenings I'm cuddled up in front of Skype, in my dressing gown, speaking with my studio in London. I travel a lot, my team travel a lot, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

This person they make me out to be irritates the hell out of me as well.

If you haven't got it. Fake it! Too short? Wear big high heels, but do practice walking!

I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. Fashion stole my smile!

I love fashion, and that's how I express myself.

These people are amazing. It's so emotional I was thinking about wearing waterproof mascara.

I am a control freak. I am very hands on and pay attention to details.

When I was on stage with the Spice Girls, I thought people were there to see the other four and not me.

I'm a very, very healthy eater. I eat lots of fish, lots of vegetables, lots of fruit. I don't eat junk food.

First and foremost, I feel very lucky to have the family I have, so I would like my family to stay happy and healthy.

I become quite obsessive when I get into something.

I tell you, the paparazzi would not be sitting outside if they realized I was the most boring person in Hollywood.

I'm living in Beverly Hills. I'm very, very lucky. I wake up every morning and I recognize that I'm blessed.

My children and my husband make me smile. My work makes me smile.

The older you get, the more comfortable you become with yourself, and you accept what you have physically.

When you're in a position to be paparazzi-ed just walking down the street, you'd look a little daft if you were smiling all the time.

I've got great people who handle my schedule, and everything does revolve around the children. If there's a parents' night or an Easter bonnet parade or a Nativity play, whatever it might be, then I plan everything around that.

For me to go to America - which I find such a positive place - well, I took to it like a duck to water.

I love fashion - I really feel it's where I belong.

I love what I do professionally, I'm really blessed. But my priority is my husband and my children.

I never try to follow a trend or fashion.

I was never going to give Mariah Carey any competition.

My dresses are for women of all different shapes and sizes. Actually, the one I tried on yesterday was the one Jennifer wore. And who'd have thought I'd be the same size as Jennifer Lopez!

My first-ever car, my parents bought me a red Fiat Uno. I was 17 and just so happy to have a car, so I was very fortunate that my parents were in a position to get me one - it was a secondhand car, but I was just so happy to have it.

We are still so close, David and I. We were at a party the other day at my mum's house and I was sitting on his lap. We're very affectionate. And I looked at him and thought after being married for 11 years! We were the only couple who were even near each other at that party. We're soul mates.

You have to remember that when you are a performer you become a celebrity, but you are not saving lives. It's not that important.

People always think I'm taller than I am - not just because of the shoes I wear but because of the way I dress. It's all relatively streamlined.

My aim is to create the perfect dress!

My children are my priority and always have been.

When I dress in a certain way and do my hair and makeup in a certain way, it's not to get attention. I'm not a supermodel. I make the best of what I've got. I work out to look the best that I can.

I've been that celebrity on the red carpet, and I appreciate that something hasn't got to just look good from the front, from the back, it's got to look good at all angles.

What's David's role? David looks good, that's what David does. David looks good, and I'm the funny one, that's what I hear constantly. But I keep telling him that looks fade.

I was an okay singer. I was an okay dancer. But acting? Never could do it.

You know, I love America. It's such a positive country.

I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

I don't have any issues with my age.

I very, very rarely get the opportunity to go shopping and actually feel the clothes and try things on. I love shopping, but I do it mostly through Net-a-Porter.

We've still got the melodies, we've still got the nice 'strong girl' lyrics going on.

She's an interesting one, she's worked really well for us ? she sort of crosses the line. I think people are still fascinated by what's going on in her life.

My family is my first priority but I don't think that means I should have to give up work. I am lucky that David is very supportive.

On hearing that Tamzin Outhwaite wouldn't mind a night with husband David: 'Firstly, Tamzin who, secondly, I think it's disrespectful, and thirdly, as if, love'

There are so many people out there taking the p*ss out of me that if I can't take the p*ss out of myself there's something going wrong.

There are rumors that we want to move back to the U.K., but we're so happy in America I actually can't see us ever leaving... People ask me how long it took to adapt. Twenty minutes.

We've passed throught very hard times, but when we taste our issues and when we hear our fans screaming for us, it's amazing.

I've been to parties in L.A. that are mind-blowing. I mean, quite literally mind-blowing. People get cellphones in the party bag, that sort of thing. Fabulous, fabulous parties.

I love the word 'luna'. I know it's a girl's name - so maybe for the next baby.

In England, David and I are big fish in a small pond. But in L.A., we are tiny, tiny, tiny fish in a big pond.

I'll just go into the studio - as I always have with Brooklyn - with one under each arm.' (But maybe not now she has been dropped from her record label...)

I haven't read a book in my life,

I can relax in L.A. I think I'm the only person in that town who doesn't want to act. I was an OK singer. I was an OK dancer. But acting? Never could do it.

I am not going to be no senorita' - on the prospect of moving to Spain.

I'd love to duet with someone in the hip-hop world such as Dr Dre.

It's not healthy to be jealous.

The only time I get upset by things written about me - when people write irresponsible things about my weight.... I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

I'm not worried about what's in fashion, what's not in fashion, what are the colors of the season. I go with my gut instinct because every time I haven't it's been a mistake.

I take care of myself. I work out every day. I eat healthy. But I like to have fun too.

Fame is not like a jacket. You can't put it on and then take it off.

I consider all of my pieces to be investment pieces. A dress shouldn't be worn for one season - you should be able to wear it year after year.

I don't wear heels every day, but when I'm out, that's how I feel confident.

Sometimes it's frustrating if I'm out with the kids and have to deal with the paparazzi. That comes with it though. But it was fun becoming famous. I mean, I even wanted to one of the kids in FAME when I was growing up.

I've been in the public eye for about 15 or 16 years and I'm very aware that fame is not a given. I have to maintain it. It's not just something that will always be there.

Some people aren't satisfied that I'm a gay man in a woman's body and swear that I'm secretly a real boy.

Drink whatever you like, just so long as it coordinates with your nail varnish.

I don't follow fashion and I don't follow trends, I just follow my instincts

The tusk is a very tactile shape, looks great among the other charms and is a cool piece that I like.

I don't have a nanny or a housekeeper, and I only have a cleaner for one hour each week. I finish work and go home. I cook the dinner. I run into Tesco and do the housework in the evening.
