On her desire to find a husband and have children:
"I'd love kids. I'm obsessed with babies. Of course I've thought about baby names. A million times. I like (the name) Alfie for a little boy. I know that is what I was put on Earth to do - to be a mother."

On Simon Cowell having reached out to her to make amends after her 'X Factor' firing:
“It felt great, actually. When I landed back in England there was a message from Simon, saying ‘Hello, Cheryl. So, now that you’ve blown me up in Afghanistan, can we talk?’ I’m not one of those people who holds a grudge.”

On her soft spot for Prince Harry:
"I think he's amazing and I think you can relate to him because he's made mistakes. He's cool. Although, I think I would be Cougarville in that relationship."

On missing intimacy now that she's a single lady:
"I am a woman and I like sex."
