The amount of women we've met that say that we were an inspiration to them growing up, has always been one of the best things about being in the band.

Women shouldn't have to apologise for their age or growing old. It is just inevitable.

The perfect pop song is about creating a memory.

Pop music is a constant reminder of what you were doing at the time, it holds all sorts of memories.

If we'd had a Svengali manager and done what we would have been told, maybe we would have had a bigger, more hugely successful career.

I guess that people can't imagine three girls just getting up off the streets and making a career for themselves without someone to help them - which is what we did.

We didn't know it was going to be a career - it was just a lot of fun. We were known as the bimbo band and never expected to last.

We were completely DIY and very opinionated. We weren't the type that sat back or do what we're told… We never listened to many people.

People thought we were intimidating, especially once we'd had a few drinks, but when I look back we were virtually on top of each other, holding hands. We sounded so stupid.

When Siobhan left, we never fell out or had a huge argument. She just wanted to move to America and do something different.

When we first were working, we had no money. We were all sharing this ghastly flat and we had nothing.

A lot of my family were teachers, so that's what I always thought I'd end up being.
