These are some of Sophie's most memorable and meaningful quotes. She always speaks her mind whether it be from a song, public function, or magazine article. This is what makes her so wonderful!!

"I'm a sucker for good black skirts and pretty little shirts and kooky tops. I have to admit that shopping satisfies my craving for immediate gratification."

I think there's quite a lot of cowardice in music. I don't mind if it goes wrong, I just want to go for it. This is a great opportunity, I don't wanna look back and think, 'I should have been a bit bolder."

"I really like to have a poise when I'm singing, a certain character. Hopefully she's quite bright."

I was quite outspoken and cheeky and opinionated, but I wasn't like a rule breaker."

"I think whoever's on stage should look like they're supposed to be on stage, I think performers should be a bit larger than life."

"I thought, 'I'll have a nice time doing something, it'll be a real breath of fresh air to do a dance track.' It was still going to be a song-based thing."

"There's so many singers, you watch them and a lot of it is waving around. You don't get this feeling that they're really thinking about what they're saying,"

"There's music as a way to be famous, and all of that side of it. And there's music because you love singing, For me, I love a good mixture of both."

No. I haven't said anything nasty. It's all been very tongue-in-cheek but sometimes things come across differently in print than they do when you say them. I just think I was being quite witty actually! I mean, if you're a comedian or a social writer or something, the Beckhams are easy targets. Not that I'm saying they're nasty people. I just mean that there are lots of things to pick on.

I just think that if you're someone who's a bit articulate or thinks about the world at all then you haven't got anything to fear by saying what you think. It's not worth taking yourself too seriously

I don't think I'll be quite so rude in future! Actually Robbie came up to me at some thing and said he'd been really upset by what I'd said. I apologised but he shouldn't let people like me upset him. I think he'd have been better just to blank me. But it was very sweet and it had changed my opinion of him.

I didn't think about it as a career till I was about 16. Even then I thought maybe I would be a backing singer because I liked singing harmonies.

One of my friend's boyfriends played guitar and the two of us recorded some Oasis songs together. We put these handclaps in the background and we sounded really, really young. Anyway, I gave the tape to this DJ and he asked me to sing in a band [theaudience] with him.

I invite my friends round for dinner. I've known most of them for ages. I don't make good friends that quickly. I'm not one of those people who are like: 'Oh golly, you're my new best friend.' I'm not knocking it but I'm just not someone who can hug people I don't really know. I feel a bit awkward.

I read somewhere that I was going out with Randy Andy from the first Big Brother that was quite funny.

I only met him once. He was an old friend of one of the press guys working with Spiller. Maybe it was the press guy trying to drum up extra coverage. [Laughs.] He treated me as his pawn! It's so unfair!

I didn't have a boyfriend till I was 16," she admits. "It took a while for my features to, er, settle. I'd go to parties and watch girls being chatted up by blokes I fancies while I sat there and seethed."

"After the second month of modelling I did start to loosen up a bit on the stuff I'd do. There's on shoot - God I hope it doesn't come out - where all I'm dressed in is sequins. They're sort of Blu-tacked to the bits that need hiding, if you see what I mean."

"I do enjoy strolling around at home naked. It's a bit silly though, 'cos if I'm standing in the window of my flat with nothing on I assume that if I can't see anyone looking at me then they can't seem me either. I hope my neighbours don't read this."
