On style critics trying to change her look:
"That should never be allowed! It's like somebody telling you what to sing."

On her childhood idols, the Spice Girls:
"I just remember watching them - not even meeting them - and I was completely mesmerized. It feels great to meet someone who is not human, but is."

On her red Marchesa gown for the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards:
"I went up to [Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman] and said, 'Hi, I’m Rita. Nice to meet you. I need to wear your dress.' She was like, 'What dress?' They’ve got 10 million dresses. I said, 'Look, I have your dress as the screen saver on my phone. This red dress needs to be on my body.'"
