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.

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

I am pathetically law-abiding.

I've generally got low levels of embarrassment.

We need to reclaim the word feminism. We need to reclaim the word feminism real bad.

If I'm going to spunk £500 on a pair of designer shoes, it's going to be a pair that I can a) dance to 'Bad Romance' in and b) will allow me to run away from a murderer, should one suddenly decide to give chase.

Once you've got a big feminist and political justification for talking about how you went round to Benedict Cumberbatch's house and did period all over his sofa, then there's no reason not to tell that anecdote in the middle of a dinner party.
