"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 want to be loved and hated by everyone."
"I really like to have a poise when I'm singing, a certain character. Hopefully she's quite bright."
"Styles stays longer than fashion."
"I was quite outspoken and cheeky and opinionated, but I wasn't like a rule breaker."
"I'm addicted to changes."
"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'm not the perfect woman."
"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."
"It's free publicity! (about the jokes with her face)"
"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"
"I suddenly felt like they were looking at my diary. (about her friend reading her lyrics)"
"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."
"Every baby is a little bit of a miracle."
"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'm more than happy! (about the wedding)"
"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."
"When I write I don't look for words to rhyme with paparazzi."
"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 fancied 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."
"My baby will be my number 1."
"I think it's obscene to wear dead animals just to look horrible."
"Fashion is something that's fickle and always moves on and style is something that's eternal and always looks good. I don't see any difference between those two things. My image is from my heart"
Frank Skinner: "Why the wide face?" Sophie: "There are many rude things I could say about you, but I won't, 'cos I'm a lady. And the nominees are..."
"I think I'm actually more relaxed, in that I don't have to really prove myself."
"I kind of know what suits me and what doesn't and hopefully I've got something of my own sound that I can continue with."
"I'm just really impressed and happy about the fact that they've been so patient but also so supportive. I know you can't take anything for granted, but it's really nice to know that there's some people waiting to see what I come up with. I'm having a good week with feeling confident about what I've done and so hopefully it'll be worth the wait"
Presenter: "You're one of the most popular singers in Britain... ever more popular that the Queen, I've heard!" Sophie: "Absolute true. Every way of that, yes"
"The world of pop has been rather dull without me, I feel."
"Maybe, but I'm not planning one or anything (about getting another tattoo)".
"Anything and everything. Conversations I've had with my friends, evenings with my husband, books I've read, films I've seen. It's a bit like a diary set to music (about how she gets inspired to write her songs)."
"You wouldn't believe the amount of offers. It's been ridiculous. I'm a singer and that's where my career starts and stops (about the reality TV offers she's been receiving)".
"It's an album to dance to - that's why it's called Trip The Light Fantastic (explaining the name of the album)".
"I was given the wrong microphone and couldn't hear myself for the entire song. I had no vocals on the stage or for the crowd throughout (on BBC's performance - when nobody could hear Catch You's entire first verse due to BBC's fault)"

Janet: "Apart from her huge talented and vast beauty, she's bright as anything - so between us, we can disregard most of that stuff. Hopefully, we can laught it off. (on people saying nasty things about Sophie)"
"The nice thing is I've known her all along... I got to know her over the years. The fact that she's a popstar is only right and proper because she's talented and beautiful. It makes perfect sense to me".
Richard: "You know what, I remember seeing her on TV when I was 17 when she was in theaudience and thinking, 'she's fine'. And then I ended up marrying her! How mad is that?"
"She has actually, and it's brilliant. It won't be out until next year, but I definitely think it's her best album yet. So yeah, I've been listening to that! (on Sophie's third album)"
"That's so weird, because quite few people had already asked if it's her face on 'Never Be Lonely' cover. She does wear shoes like that, but I can categorically state that that's not that case (on being asked if it's Sophie on The Feeling's singles cover)".
Shelly Polly: "I think she is just writing with loads of artists to try and get a good sound going. I think she's going to do well. I am not quite sure what her sound is at the moment. She's got a fantastic voice".
