Oh! To not need cognitive justification for every single thing. Wouldn't that be a life?

One woman I interviewed, Amanda Ghost, said, "Let's not bullshit, there are no women at the top of the music business, and that is a serious problem." And I said, "Yes!" And I didn't shy away from saying that. But I still don't want to be in the firing line. I'm not clever or witty or brave enough to get into the political nitty-gritty with it.

Lover please do not fall to your knees it's not like I believe in everlasting love

Women are presented with a very narrow aspect of the female narrative. And now we live in a culture and a time where it gets to us very quickly and very young. So how do you maintain in a child that sense of unique identity before they get thrown all that is projected on them?

I know how ridiculous this sounds because of the job I do but I don't believe in romanticism and make-believe.

I've always loved books by the Bronte sisters. I love Jane Austen, too. I'm more influenced by people like her than by pop culture.

I like living in the city, but I like being able to get out of it as and when I like.
