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

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

You can always tell when a woman is with the wrong man, because she has so much to say about the fact that nothing's happening.

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.

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.

Just proportionately, statistically, one in three women are going to have an abortion. They're not all going to feel guilty.

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