Once you become poor, tired and time-constrained, you become a much better human being.

When I learned that flour pound for pound has as many calories as sugar, and that when eating pasta you're basically eating cake, I was size 23, and my neck was restricting my breathing, and so I got on a microbiotic diet and got myself an exercise bike.

There are 3 billion women in the world, so there are 3 billion ways to be a feminist.

I can honestly say that my abortion was one of the least difficult decisions of my life. I'm not being flippant when I say it took me longer to decide what worktops to have in the kitchen than whether I was prepared to spend the rest of my life being responsible for a further human being.

I don't campaign for the end of the aristocracy or the upper classes; I don't really want to destroy anything at all. I just want more plurality.

I love puffins. They are small, round gothic birds, and their babies are called pufflings.

One of the great things about being a writer/journalist is that my boss loves me to go out and do features on being someone else. I did a feature on Kate Middleton, where I went to an incredible fancy state home in the countryside, put on a wedding dress and posed for engagement pictures with a fake Prince William.

It used to be if you wanted something nice to wear, you would sew it yourself for your body type. Women before the 20th century didn't have this problem. Now, it seems we're all squeezed into random designs. They're designed for no one.

I am not good at small talk. I will hide in a cupboard to avoid chitty-chat.

I don't think that women being seen as inferior is a prejudice based on male hatred of women. When you look at history, it's a prejudice based on simple fact.

I'm so glad I spent 10 years being sad and lonely.

Simultaneously, my two biggest heroes are Susan Sontag and Morticia Addams from 'The Addams Family.'

My core belief is that if you're complaining about something for more than three minutes, two minutes ago you should have done something about it.

I like a little bit of revolution. I think it's a very good hobby for a young woman. Better than squash.

In the early '90s, it was grunge; everybody was fully clothed. Alanis Morissette was one of the biggest artists in the world, never wore makeup, wearing Doc Marten boots, and then the Spice Girls turn up, and suddenly it all looks a bit burlesque; suddenly they're the biggest band in the world.

In the end, I want to spend my 60s writing bonkbusters like Jilly Cooper.

Flyaway, problem hair is the enemy of feminism, and was probably invented by the Man to crush Susan Sontag.

When I saw 'Pretty In Pink' at the cinema at the age of 11, I just thought it was a period piece from maybe 100 years previously. I had no idea that was what everybody was supposed to be wearing.
