More quotes by Caitlin Moran
I do not... look very feminine. Diana, Princess of Wales is feminine... I am... femi-none.

I was brought up in the '80s. I was born in 1975. So by the time I got to 10 and I kind of knew that I probably was going to have to be a grown-up lady at some point, the feminine role models that I had were kind of the cast of Dynasty and Dallas. And I just found that terrifying.

I always give three pieces of advice to all the teenage girls when I do my talks: long country walks - it's important to get some fresh air in your lungs, and be in contact with your body masturbation - it takes the edge off, it'll get you through and the revolution - believing in changing the world.

I just want Tina Fey to be my best friend. And Lena Dunham. And Oprah, too.

When I talk to girls, they go, 'I'm not a feminist.' And I say: 'What? You don't want to vote? Do you want to be owned by your husband? Do you want your money from your job to go into his bank account? If you were raped, do you still want that to be a crime? Congratulations : you are a feminist.'
Caitlin Moran
One of the great things about being a writer/journalist is that my boss loves me to go out and do features on being someone else. I did a feature on Kate Middleton, where I went to an incredible fancy state home in the countryside, put on a wedding dress and posed for engagement pictures with a fake Prince William.
Caitlin Moran
I read something once that when you're online, your inhibitions are lowered to the state where you've had three drinks. Once you basically know that the entire internet is slightly drunk, it all makes a lot more sense, and you deport yourself accordingly.
Caitlin Moran
As far as I'm concerned, you're a feminist by default if you're born in the Western world right now.
Caitlin Moran
You think it doesn't really matter if you screw up this time around because you can just sort it all out in paradise

Feminism, as it stands, well... stands. It has ground to a halt.
Caitlin Moran
Heaven. The biggest waste of our time we ever invented, outside jigsaws.

In the end I want to spend my 60s writing bonkbusters like Jilly Cooper.
Caitlin Moran
I love puffins. They are small, round gothic birds, and their babies are called pufflings.
Caitlin Moran
Feminism has had exactly the same problem that political correctness has had: people keep using the phrase without really knowing what it means.
Caitlin Moran
Mental health is seen as a massive drag to have to write about - worthy, dull. Something you should 'have' to read / write about.
Caitlin Moran
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.
