"Girl Power"
"Glamour and Intelligence in a Wonderbra"
"My favorite expression is Girlies with an attitude"
"We're doing this for the girls, this is female
solidarity"."
"Because Girl Power, is having brains and glamour at the same time."
"I think I'm taking Girl Power to one step further. I was supposed to be the evangelist of Girl Power - the empowerment of women - and this is a grown-up version of that."
Fame
"Fame does not exist, it's a state of mind, it's a myth"
"There's no such thing as fast success with us lot."
Geri on Herself
"I'm quite a cheeky person, really."
"I've always felt that once you get to know Geri
Halliwell, there is a brain."
"There is more to me than just a big-busted redhead; I've got my intellectual side."
"I'm quite an eccentric person. In my philosophies on life, I don't like to confirm to everyday life."
"I'm far from perfect. I'm flawed and I'm aware of my flaws - but it means that with the right spirit and with a good heart, you
can achieve anything."
"I think I am Geri, fundamentally. But I think Ginger is still there; that wicked streak in me that will.."
"I'm just, you know, being a creative expressionist"
"I am young, free and single at the moment. Why? Did you hear a rumor?"
"I'm a real traditionalist"
"There is nothing false or contrived about my look."
Views, Tastes, and Various Other Opinions
"Yeah, I'd say, if I was a bloke, I'd find Victoria very fanciable."
"If you looked at my life through the tabloids....it would appear that I haven't had good luck with men. And I suppose I haven't really, have I?"
"I mean, what is a good singer anyway."
"In a way, I'm very very glad that I've been through some of the things I have, such as being homeless....., being poor, being deprived of alot of things....nothing was ever handed to me on a plate....ever."
"The amount of money and fame you have is all relative and I appreciate the luxuries, but it doesn't matter how much you have if you're lonely, hurting or feeling insecure."
After leaving the SGs.....
"P.S. I'll Be Back"
"Why did I quit what, Larry?"
"Why did I quit the Spice Girls? I understand the question totally. And, you know, as I said in my press statement, there was differences between us. And those differences, I have to say, are personal differences. And, you know, if you want to probe into them -- you're going to have to respect for now -- I think we should leave, you know, the memory of the way the Spice Girls was, you know, a very spirited and good one. "
"I don't really think that I'd go back to the Spice Girls, but you can never say never..."
"I am a great lover of pop music. I think music is a fantastic mediator and a good escapism."
"You only had to look at me in the last six months before I left to see that I was changing"
"It's as if I've just left a marriage. It's normal that anyone who goes from one extreme to another has a period of adjusting."
"At the time, I said there were differences between us and there were, but they were personal. There were adult reasons why I left, but our fans are children and I didn't want to shatter their dreams. "
Geri Halliwell, U.N. Ambassador..
"I totally believe in karma and I've got to give something back. I've realised that I can't just fulfil my own ego and ambition and this year I'm trying to do some good. I think I was meant to be an evangelist in girl power and it's my absolute duty to empower women."
"I'm trying to use my fame to bring awareness to a cause I believe in..."
"The fundamental, primal thing - everyone wants to be accepted, we want to connect, we want to belong. I sometimes fear failure, but not in a paralysing fashion. The more afraid I am, the more I push through to persecute myself."
"You know what I fear the most? I always fear being misunderstood."
