  • I’ve had days here and there where I would get discouraged because I wasn’t a big star, but I’ve made a living ever since I was 27. Not a great living, but enough for me. I think actually being able to pay my rent and eat and perform is enough, and I did that for many years. Then I had some good years in there too, where I made pretty good money. But I’m at a different point in my career now – I can kind of sit back and let things come to me, whereas when I was younger I had to be a lot more aggressive… The reality is it’s harder for women after 40, but I started working at 40.

I can text whatever I want to anybody in the world; I’m not married I write a lot of dirty text messages to girls, and you’ve never seen any of them. Why? Because if a girl brought a dirty text message from me to the newspapers, they’d say ‘I don’t have an angle here. Someone wants to wear your a— like a hat? Big deal. He’s 32 years old.

I work out to look the best that I can, but I’m no Gisele.” — Victoria Beckham, to Glamour. [Daily Mail]
