Feminism has had exactly the same problem that "political correctness" has had: people keep using the phrase without really knowing what it means.

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

If you are lying down to give birth, gravity is not helping you. You know, you stand up and, you know, a baby will basically kind of fall out of you, if you keep walking 'round.

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.

For throughout history, you can read the stories of women who - against all the odds - got being a woman right, but ended up being compromised, unhappy, hobbled or ruined, because all around them, society was still wrong. Show a girl a pioneering hero - Sylvia Plath, Dorothy Parker, Frida Kahlo, Cleopatra, Boudicca, Joan of Arc - and you also, more often than not, show a girl a woman who was eventually crushed.

Batman doesn’t want a baby in order to feel he’s ‘done everything’. He’s just saved Gotham again! If this means that Batman must be a feminist role model above, say, Nicola Horlick, then so be it.

If you're not a confident person, pretend to be one.
