Quotes from Leigh-Anne Pinnock

I feel like if I had more diversity in my team I'd have been better equipped to deal with the experiences I had.

We're very lucky because our fan base is so dedicated that they want to have a hard copy of our album. They want to own it, have it in their hands.

I have got the most incredible fan base who pick me up and we do it for them. This is why we do what we do. They are our fans and they are the best.

Every body is a perfect body. Perfection doesn't exist. Perfection is whoever you are because however you were made was perfect. You don't need to change for anyone.

Why should anyone get treated differently, because of race, sex, or whatever? We're all human, we all breathe, we all have souls, hearts and I guess, all we can do is keep pushing this positive message.

To have an edit with ASOS - I just love ASOS - every piece is wicked, and I love how versatile it is.

I like 'Yabai!' That just rolls off the tongue. It means sick, wicked in Japanese.

I don't really know who I am. I used to get scared at that thought, but now I've stopped punishing myself for not knowing.

I've basically just got Aesop products. I am obsessed with it. I have the cleanser, the toner and then moisturiser. It has fixed my skin.

We were doing a gig in Spain and yet again had four hotel rooms that never get used. We always share a bed. So we're all in bed together and we've all got wind. And we thought it would be funny to put it on Instagram. Farting on cue.

It took me so long but now I don't care what people have to say about me anymore and it's such a good place to be in.

I reckon we work better in front of big crowds.

During the first couple of years of being in the band, I did feel invisible. I remember crying to my manager regularly, I just couldn't seem to find my place and didn't know why.

No matter how far you think you have come, racism exists.

I went on safari and there were all these lion cubs rolling around like cats and they were so cute and I just wanted to hug them! But you can't coz you'll get eaten... It was really hard!

Well, no wild animal is really going to appreciate a hug, to be honest.

We all worry about being beach body ready. It's one of those really annoying things worrying about having the perfect bod. But really what is the perfect body?

I love old-school clothes. Things from the 90s, baggy jeans, the crop tops; just really old-school, colourful things.

Too far often, Black people are reminded of how far we have come as opposed to how far we can go. In doing this, we sleep on racism.

All females are so powerful and so strong, and they just need to be reminded of that. And also, when we stick together, we're a force.

We know already there is not enough representation of dark-skinned women in the media - that's just a fact.

I can speak for pop music and representation is nowhere near where it should be. We're taking inspiration from black people but why am I not seeing more black people?

Although I feel like R&B is becoming bigger in the U.K., I still feel like the representation isn't where it should be in comparison to America.

When we first started, we all had icons: So Perrie had a flower, Jade had a bow-tie, Jesy had a boombox and I had a cap!
