Victoria Beckham says this about her August W Magazine spread with hubby/soccer star David Beckham:

On wanting to change America's opinion of her: "I think people are really going to see me for the first time. I think they have this impression that I'm this miserable cow who doesn't smile. But I'm actually quite the opposite. When you're out there, they're trying to get pictures up your shirt, down your top. With all the flashes, it's as much as you can do to just find your car. I'm going to try and smile more for America."

On David: "I could sense right from the start that David was a gentleman, and very family-oriented, which is important because I'm the same"

On being a Spice Girl: "Being a Spice Girl opened a lot of doors, but it also shut many because of preconceptions people have about me. I've had to bang down those doors."

David Beckham Says:

On wanting to make Americans fall in love with professional soccer: "I do believe I can take it to another level. I wouldn't have taken up the challenge if I didn't believe I could have that effect."
