Victoria Beckham: 'I need to work'

Victoria Beckham has revealed she works because she feels the need to, not because she has to.

The star, who balances occasional Spice Girls duties with her career as a designer and being a mum-of-four, revealed in a new interview that she works hard because she has something to prove to herself.

She told Elle magazine: "I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. I don't have to work, I need to work. All these people [fellow fashion designers], they've not just been given anything. They've worked hard. And I've never been given anything either."

Victoria said she and footballer husband David Beckham both have a good attitude to work. "I have a good work ethic; David has an incredible work ethic. I want my kids to have a good work ethic," she added.
