I like a little bit of revolution. I think it's a very good hobby for a young woman. Better than squash.

I am fully aware of what the word 'fat' means ... It's a swear word. It's a weapon. It's a sociological subspecies. It's an accusation, dismissal, and rejection.

I think loads of women have this idea that their life is going to start at some point, once they've busted all these problems of being a woman, once we're thin and we're pretty and we've got all of our clothes and stuff, that's when our life will begin.

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.

It was the Spice Girls who messed it all up. And obviously, the appropriating of the phrase girl power, which at that point overrode any notion of feminism, and which was a phrase that meant absolutely nothing apart from being friends with your girlfriends.
