I wish I could give up smoking, but it does taste so delicious.

A 'sign of weakness' for a male celebrity is being found to be unfaithful, or unkind to an employee, or having crashed their car while stoned out of their tiny minds. A 'sign of weakness' for a woman, on the other hand, can be a single, unflattering picture.

It's just a horrible thing to keep saying to a woman, do you want a baby inside you? I mean, it's creepy.

When you've got a mother who's given birth to eight children, you know, often without any kind of medical intervention - just she gave birth to one of my brothers sort of on the bedroom floor in front of all of us -you know, you see that women are fairly capable.

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.'

I have read more about Oprah Winfrey’s ass than I have about the rise of China as an economic superpower. I fear this is no exaggeration. Perhaps China is rising as an economic superpower because its women aren’t spending all their time reading about Oprah Winfrey’s ass.

To say that you have to carry to term and look after a child for the rest of your life is to say I force you, legally, to love someone. It's like saying, you know, you have to go and love another - you have to go - you know, you have to go marry someone. It's like an arranged marriage.

Heaven. The biggest waste of our time we ever invented, outside jigsaws.

You think it doesn't really matter if you screw up this time around because you can just sort it all out in paradise

Why on earth have I, because I'm a woman, got to be nice to everyone?

It's always sunny above the clouds. Always. Every day on earth - every day I have ever had - was secretly sunny, after all.

Flyaway, problem hair is the enemy of feminism, and was probably invented by the Man to crush Susan Sontag.

If you've been fat, you will always feel and see the world as a fat person you know how difficult it is... It's the same coming from a working-class background... it never leaves you.

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.
