Quotes by Fergie

I have always loved fashion because it's a great way to express your mood. And I'm definitely a shoe lover.

A woman can wear confidence on her feet with a high stiletto, or slip into weekend comfort with a soft ballet flat.

Part of my affinity with urban music comes from being on 'Kids Incorporated,' 'cos we used to sit around and listen to Chaka Khan and Prince, and I got influenced by all that. Then gangsta rap got started, and I was infatuated with that - maybe that's why I'm fascinated by guns.
