I wrote my first book at eight, all of four pages. At 10, I did a 40-page story. At 12, I wrote two stage plays.

What is feminism? Simply the belief that women should be as free as men, however nuts, dim, deluded, badly dressed, fat, receding, lazy, and smug they might be.

Oh God, are you supposed to collect things? I don't collect things. I like throwing things away.

If you can find a frock you look nice in and can run up three flights of stairs, you're not fat.

I say this in the spirit of feminist encouragement, but I think I'm pretty hot. I've got all the facial features, facing the right way, at the right end, and you can always paint over the bad bits with makeup.

My parents were hippies. I'm the eldest of eight children.

I think there are brilliant jokes to be made about abortion, and we should be able to talk about this in the way that we make jokes about death - you should be able to make jokes about everything.

I loved Riot Grrl. Not only was it a punk rock revolution, but it meant you could get dressed for a night out for less than two pounds!

If every woman who's had an abortion took tomorrow off in protest, America would grind to a halt. And that would be symbolic: because women grind to a halt if they are not in control of their fertility.

Twitter means all my friends are in my computer. All my ideas are in my computer. I can do whatever I want in there; I'm kind of... bionic.

I just want Tina Fey to be my best friend. And Lena Dunham. And Oprah, too.

Feminism, as it stands, well... stands. It has ground to a halt.

Over-eating is the addiction choice of carers, and that's why it's come to be regarded as the lowest-ranking of all the addictions.

I never wanted to be famous. It was amusing at first, but now I hate it. I just wanted to be respected by people I respect. And I wanted to be rich. It's best to get rich, then you can do what you want.

I don't regret not going to college. Students learn up to the age of 21, then stop. I'll always be learning - the things that really matter in life. How to sign on, how to get free food, how to be streetwise.

As far as I'm concerned, you're a feminist by default if you're born in the Western world right now.

Feminism means something - legislation, cultural change - but 'Girl Power' meant nothing more than being friends with your friends.

I do not... look very feminine. Diana, Princess of Wales is feminine... I am... femi-none.

The first thing to improve society is not banning abortion, but making sure that everyone who had a child is in the best position to be able to rear it.
