I went freelance in 1996 and my children are now teenagers and it seemed right.

Being boring is just wrong, isn't it? You wouldn't have got anywhere being boring.

I'd like to see women get on to boards and run companies despite the fact that men occupy the citadels of power.

The reason we all need a mutton alert, which needs constant testing, like smoke alarms, is because there is really no such thing as age-appropriate dressing any longer, as I know because my wardrobe is interchangeable with my daughter's.

Don't worry about never having time to write. Just write what you can in the time you do have and give yourself a big clap on the back, followed by a double latte and a blueberry muffin.

If you tell the truth you get into trouble, and that's why politicians are extremely dull.

Of course I'm naughty. I've always had to compete for attention, you see.
